We work with developers and communities on proposed energy facilities, with schools and manufacturers looking to save energy and money, and with other agencies and stakeholders on meeting the challenges of climate change. Oregon is one of the most energy-efficient states in the country, routinely landing near the top of annual national rankings. ODOE is committed to helping Oregon remain an energy leader, and that starts with hiring engaged team members ready to deliver for all Oregonians.

Additionally, the division manages human resources, including strategic workforce planning, recruitment, classification and compensation, employee relations, leave administration, training, wellness programs, and personnel action processing.
