Advisor, Labor

CGC is a nonprofit investment firm that finances and originates clean energy, water, and resilient infrastructure projects to accelerate clean air, clean water, and affordable energy for communities across America.

We collaborate with the public and private sectors to bridge financing gaps and mobilize private capital into projects that deliver measurable economic and environmental impact at scale. Every dollar we invest is structured to multiply, generating durable returns for people, markets, and the environment.

Over the past decade, CGC has demonstrated the power of public-private investment by helping catalyze economic accelerators nationwide and mobilizing billions of dollars toward affordable clean energy and resilient infrastructure. Our model fills market gaps, unlocks private capital, and proves that economic growth and environmental progress can advance together.

A career at the CGC is grounded in impact. Our six core values guide how we invest and how we work together.

Under the direction of the Director, the Advisor will play a critical role in executing CGC’s labor pilot, a two-year effort supporting the abilities of three green bank partners to identify pipelines of projects that meet financial parameters, while also advancing the priorities of local labor and community stakeholders. CGC and our green bank partners are committed to creating high quality 21st century jobs, strengthening local workforce development, and ensuring that the benefits of the clean energy economy reach every community. The CGC labor pilot would execute activities intended to increase labor and community engagement in the development of clean infrastructure projects in three targeted states, and to ensure those projects support job quality, workforce development, and community benefits objectives. The Advisor will help design the milestones for achieving the goals of the labor pilot and implement the day-to-day activities in one of the three targeted states.
