Senior Analyst, Sustainable Workforce

Join us in shaping Canada’s sustainable energy future

The Pembina Institute is seeking a Senior Analyst to join our Sustainable Workforce team in a term position (maternity leave coverage) ending September 2027. This position may be based out of Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary or Ottawa.

You will join a dedicated team advancing Canada’s sustainable energy future, through research, analysis, writing, and policy advocacy. This role contributes to the development of sustainable workforce solutions that support workers in Canada’s evolving industrial landscape.

Who we are

At the Pembina Institute, it’s all hands on deck and it has been for the last 40 years. 
Our 50+ person team, distributed across the country, are passionate and dedicated, but we don't sweat the small stuff. We’re too busy tackling one of the most important issues of our time: Canada’s clean energy transition.
In that transition, we don’t leave anyone behind and believe each member of our team plays a critical role in achieving our goals. We ensure equity but promote individuality. We lead with curiosity — challenging our own ideas and limiting beliefs, being open to diversity of thought and opinion. We use evidence-based thinking to inform our recommendations to decision-makers and understand that to make long-lasting changes, we need to take a practical approach when collaborating with others. 
Our commitment to responsible development, and our “tough, but fair” approach, using research, consulting and convening, gives us credibility with decision makers whose actions today are setting the direction for the planet. Are you ready to join us?
