When we heard the name Lime Energy, our first thought was of a lime battery (close relative of the more common lemon battery). Since they’re a company that is all about energy efficiency, they’re probably not proponents of running a building entirely off of lime power. Although that may sound like a green alternative, we’d imagine that it would be extremely inefficient. Here’s a consulting interview type question - how many limes would it take to power Lime Energy’s office building for a day?
Lime Energy offers energy efficiency solutions that “allow clients to spend dramatically less on energy and building operations.” That sounds like a whole lot of fluff, right? Wrong. NYU hired Lime Energy and the result was $589,000 in annual savings. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center hired Lime Energy and realized annual savings of $52,000. P.C. Richard and Son saw savings of $1,750,000 per year. Lime Energy puts your Dad and his turning off every light in the house to shame when it comes to energy efficiency.
Lime Energy is looking to hire multiple interns to help them with projects on improving energy efficiency for commercial buildings. The focus will be on working on the selection and design of lighting systems for small and medium sized customers. We’d imagine that a background in engineering would be preferred, but it’s probably not necessary. We found the details of the internship in a Career Services newsletter (.doc file), since Lime Energy doesn’t have any information about their internships on their website. Unfortunately, the posting didn’t mention whether the internships are paid, nor did it tell students how to apply. For full-time jobs, Lime Energy accepts applications at work@lime-energy.com, so we’d imagine that you should send your cover letter and resume there if you want to apply for an internship too. We do know that internships are available in Glendora, Ventura, and San Diego (all in California).
