Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors: Accelerating the transition to a clean, low-carbon energy future
Welcome to DUNSKY ENERGY + CLIMATE ADVISORS . We're a mission-driven (B-Corp certified) firm focused on exactly that: helping our clients accelerate the transition to a clean, low-carbon energy future . We didn't come to this lately: we've been at it for nearly 20 years – meticulously supporting leading governments, utilities, businesses and others across North America.
Our team of more than 50 professionals are whip-smart, super-kind, fun, and deeply dedicated to the mission.

You're at ease with a fast pace, but also want a reasonable work/life balance, because your weekends and evenings should by default be yours. And of course, you want to be properly compensated.
