Decarbonizing the future
Commercial buildings account for 16% of US greenhouse gas emissions. Lumen Energy is on a mission to reduce that. We're not just a tech-focused clean energy company; we're an ambitious team aiming to revolutionize the CRE sector's energy dynamics. We're committed to powering our world with clean energy, and we're looking for individuals who share our passion. If this sounds exciting, we'd love to meet you.
OUR VALUES
Lumen Energy is a small team of kind, inquisitive, first-principle thinkers with sights set on the horizon.
Dream big
We’re solving global problems, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We're passionate about our mission and driven to succeed.
Start small
We're scientists who know how to parse challenges into actionable parts. We're idealistic in scope, but practical in our approach.
Ask questions
We're lifelong learners with open minds. We question convention, continuously looking to improve instead of settle.
Take ownership
Were self-starters who claim responsibility for our actions. We believe empathy towards others starts with accountability for oneself.
Grow together
We're diverse individuals with a shared spirit. We celebrate every voice, each essential to the pursuit of our goals.
Our diverse & talented team
I used to dread meetings at my old job, but at Lumen I find myself engaged and genuinely interested in what everyone has to say!
Being new to the industry, I couldn't have asked for a better start than Lumen Energy. Here, I'm not just honing my skills but also contributing to something bigger – a sustainable and exciting future.
I really value the culture of openness we have at Lumen. Great ideas can come from anyone. We feel comfortable pushing each other to do our best work and don't hesitate to celebrate our teammates' wins.
I'm energized by the impact of our work – helping multibillion dollar organizations reach net zero. The best part is the brilliant and humble team at Lumen whom I get to collaborate with everyday.
One of the best parts about working here? My cats casually strolling into our Zoom calls, and no one misses a beat. Plus the projects I work on keep me very engaged and push me to grow everyday.
I can imagine no greater privilege than to meaningfully accelerate the energy transition. That’s what we’re doing every day, and that’s what makes this a dream job.
