The Environmental Coalition of Prince Edward Island (ECO-PEI) is a

Qualifications:

The successful applicant will have a degree from a post-secondary  
institution to at least the Bachelors level and be knowledgeable on  
issues relating to climate change, energy and community development.   
Experience with renewable energy and energy efficiency (technical and/ 
or research) is considered an asset.  The ECO-PEI Energy Project is  
seeking a highly motivated and self-directed individual who works  
effectively in an unstructured environment and in collaborative  
partnerships.  The candidate should have excellent interpersonal and  
communication skills including public speaking and writing skills.   
This position will require strong analytical, planning and

The Energy Strategy Coordinator will be required to become familiar  
with energy and climate change issues at the provincial and regional  
level.  The successful individual will be responsible for policy  
research and analysis as well as outreach and education with respect  
to energy efficiency and renewable energy and their link to community  
economic development.  The individual will work with other members of  
ACSEC to share information, develop joint energy strategies and  
participate in regional meetings and events.  Some travel will be  
required.  The Energy Strategy Coordinator will be the primary  
administrator of the ECO-PEI Energy Project and therefore responsible  
for all reporting and other administrative tasks.  Duties will also  
include media relations, conducting public meetings and fundraising  
(i.e. writing grant proposals).

energy at ecopei.ca or mailed to 126 Richmond St., Charlottetown, PEI,
