Staff Accountant

Juhl Energy is a leading provider of competitive, clean energy solutions. Formerly Juhl Wind, for over 35 years Dan Juhl led the development of community-based wind power with our farmer partners in rural America. Together with our professional engineering services group, Power Engineers Collaborative, we provide a full range of clean energy solutions with a focus on wind, solar, biomass, and combined heat power systems.

Maybe you’re that person who “took what they could find” a year ago when Covid-19 impacted workplaces? Have you graduated (or are soon graduating) with a finance and accounting skill set? Want to help us in doing something about climate change?

We're looking for that attentive person who can provide an accounting mindset and also likes to be part of a team that develops and builds stuff like wind/solar/hydroelectric/CHP plants.
