ECO Intern

The Environmental Collaboration Office (ECO) strives to make Milwaukee a world class eco-city on America’s Fresh Coast. ECO develops practical and racially equitable solutions that improve people’s lives and the economy while working to protect and restore the natural ecosystems that support our long-term prosperity. ECO collaborates with the community, develops global partnerships, offers award-winning programs, and implements the Milwaukee Climate and Equity Plan.

The intern will support the development and implementation of policies and programs to reduce energy use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and reduce utility costs in the buildings sector. The intern will also assist with the implementation of projects to make City of Milwaukee buildings more energy efficient, to reduce energy use, GHG emissions, and costs from internal city operations.

The intern will work under the supervision of Pam Ritger de la Rosa, Environmental Sustainability Program Manager. Additional responsibilities include other projects as needed, as well as supporting tabling and other community outreach events for the Environmental Collaboration Office. Because ECO collaborates with many other agencies in City government and community organizations, interns will be exposed to and encouraged to participate in networking opportunities.
