RICHLAND, Wash. – A recent Associated Press article on some companies' struggles to find qualified job candidates led to dozens of calls to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory after one of its managers was quoted about needing to fill energy-related positions.

Unfortunately, because of the high volume, PNNL staff are unable to respond personally.

Potential candidates are encouraged to consult PNNL's Jobs site, http://jobs.pnl.gov/, and formally apply for positions for which they meet the minimum requirements.

PNNL has more than 100 positions open - of those, more than 50 would support the Laboratory's energy and environment mission. In the buildings research area, which was mentioned in the AP article, PNNL is hiring senior buildings engineers, junior buildings engineers, senior commercial buildings energy analysts, senior residential buildings energy analysts, and building energy modelers.

Other openings cross the science and technology spectrum, in areas as diverse as electricity infrastructure, nuclear engineering, biology and information technology.

 

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is a Department of Energy Office of Science national laboratory where interdisciplinary teams advance science and technology and deliver solutions to America's most intractable problems in energy, national security and the environment. PNNL employs 4,650 staff, has a $918 million annual budget, and has been managed by Ohio-based Battelle since the lab's inception in 1965. Follow PNNL on Facebook, Linked In and Twitter.
