About the role

<div class="content-intro">Interested in joining a growing company where you will work with talented colleagues, enhance a supportive and energetic culture, and be part of the climate solution? At Energy Solutions, we focus on the big impacts. And we believe that market-based programs can be a powerful force to deliver large-scale energy, carbon, and water-use savings. Since 1995, we’ve harnessed that power to offer proven, performance-based solutions for our utility, government, and institutional customers.</div>Are you excited about the intersection of data analytics and employee engagement? Are you curious about how a People and Culture team makes research-based decisions for the benefit of its employees?  Then come join our team as a People and Culture Intern! The People and Culture (PC) Intern will leave a long-lasting mark on our team and across the company by supporting critical People Analytics research and automation.  In this part-time (15-30 hours/week) role, you’ll develop an entirely new onboarding survey for our new hires. This survey structure will be used to assess onboarding processes and the new hire experience at Energy Solutions. Developing this survey means collaborating with multiple teams across different departments, including our IT team, Marketing team, and PC’s own Learning and Development (L&D) team, all of whom are key stakeholders in the onboarding process. It will be your responsibility to take their input into consideration—and offer yours—as you build the new survey.  You will find success in this role by being proactive, researching best practices, and translating data into actionable insights. Using your research, collaborative input, and data visualizations, you’ll define how and to whom results should be presented, tell a story with the data, and present your findings to senior leadership within the People & Culture team.   In addition, you will partner with our Compensation Specialist to conduct essential competitor market research. Finally, you will spearhead the creation of a PC team bot in Slack, using AI tools to build and validate their effectiveness. Your work will directly help ease team workloads by making our response to frequently asked questions (FAQs) automated and improve our overall response time.   This experience will grant you:  <ul> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Proficiency in research and developing best practices for employee engagement surveys </li> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Insight into the critical role people analytics plays in supporting workforce planning and strategic decision-making </li> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Access to senior leadership during presentations on research recommendations and findings—and the public speaking skills to address them directly </li> </ul>   You will also gain or deepen:  <ul> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Data analysis skills by working with complex data sets focused on people data </li> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Competence within Tableau to build compelling people analytics dashboards and data visualizations </li> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Hands-on experience using AI automation within the HR field </li> </ul>   To enable you for success, we are seeking candidates with these qualifications:  <ul> <li style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Intermediate to advanced experience in Excel </li> <li style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Enrolled full- or part-time in an undergraduate program as a second to fourth-year student or enrolled in a graduate program </li> <li style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">US Citizen or permanent resident </li> <li style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Available to meet weekly full-time hours requirement between August and November </li> </ul>   While not required, we would love to see candidates who are located on the East coast or in the greater Boston area, and/or who are willing to work between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST).   Compensation:  <ul> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Undergraduate student: $21/hr</li> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Graduate student: $24/hr</li> </ul> <h3> </h3> <h3>In order to be eligible for this position, you must be: </h3> <ul> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Currently enrolled full- or part-time in an undergraduate program as a second to fourth-year student or enrolled in a graduate program <ul> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Please note we are unable to accept applications from first-year undergraduate students or recent graduates who are not enrolled in a program</li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">A US Citizen or permanent resident <ul> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Please note we are unable to host international students</li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Available to meet your weekly hours requirement between May and August for Summer and between September and November for Fall</li> <li style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Motivated by the Energy Solutions’ mission to reduce carbon emissions with an equity lens</li> </ul> You may apply to up to 2 positions per cycle. <h3> To apply, please submit:</h3> <ul> <li style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Your updated resume/CV.</li> <li style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">2 short essays that meets the criteria below.</li> <li style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">A work sample that meets the criteria below.</li> </ul> <h3> Your short essays must:</h3> <ul> <li style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Be original documents written by you.
