Job description

WHY IGS ENERGY

At IGS Energy, interns are treated like part of the team. You will have the chance to learn from experienced professionals, contribute to meaningful work, and build relationships that help you grow personally and professionally. If you are excited to apply your organization, communication, and analytical skills in a real-world setting and be part of a supportive, high-energy intern experience, we would love to meet you.

THE IGS INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

  • Embedded into a team, contributing from day one

  • Meaningful work that supports real business outcomes

  • A collaborative intern cohort experience

  • Events designed to engage and connect

  • Programming focused on developing business acumen and executive presence

  • Exposure to leaders and cross-functional teams

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Community Solar Operations Intern, you will gain hands-on experience supporting the operational work behind our community solar programs. You will partner with the Community Solar team to review customer enrollments, document processes, support reporting, and help improve the accuracy and efficiency of day-to-day operations.

This is a hands-on internship for students who enjoy working with data, solving problems, staying organized, and learning how renewable energy programs operate behind the scenes.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Support customer enrollments: Review and correct customer enrollment information and help process enrollments through utility, developer partner, and program administrator platforms.

  • Monitor project progress: Help track project fill rates, identify discrepancies, and communicate issues to the Operations team.

  • Document and improve processes: Capture current workflows and contribute ideas that make operational processes clearer and more efficient.

  • Assist with subscriber billing: Help confirm subscribers are billed correctly and on time, support billing issue resolution, and assist with subscription fee collection.

  • Support billing operations: Help oversee automated billing processes, prepare subscriber statements when needed, and contribute to billing accuracy and completion reporting.

  • Prepare developer reporting: Assist with reports for developer partners, track key reporting metrics, and help provide useful insights to the business.
  • Explore process automation: Support efforts to improve and automate reporting processes.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN

  • Hands-on experience with community solar operations, customer enrollment, billing, and reporting

  • A stronger understanding of how renewable energy programs are supported operationally

  • Experience working with data, identifying discrepancies, and contributing to process improvements

  • Opportunities to strengthen project management, communication, and problem-solving skills

  • Exposure to cross-functional teams, external partners, and real business operations

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Business, Operations, Engineering, Environmental Science, or a related field

  • A strong interest in renewable energy and community solar is a plus

  • Basic technical aptitude and a willingness to learn new software and tools

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an eagerness to contribute to team goals

  • Good project management and time management skills

  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy

  • Effective interpersonal and communication skills, including active listening and asking clarifying questions

  • Self-motivation and the ability to work independently and as part of a team

At IGS Energy, you will do more than intern, you will make an impact. You will take ownership of real projects, collaborate with teams across the business, and see your work come to life. Plus, you will connect with peers and leaders through our speaker series, intern events, and professional development experiences designed to help you grow.
