Why Clean Energy

Strategic impact -- we take a proactive approach to risk management and you'll play a key role in ensuring our risk programs keep pace with our ongoing growth . . . today and into the future. You'll help the executive team build solid programs and contribute to our innovative entrepreneurial approach, such as supporting acquisitions and other new business opportunities.

Professional development -- given the breadth of the role and the diversity of our company, there are at least a few things you'll learn. You also will gain a broad global understanding of our business, which will serve you well as your career evolves. Our short-term goal is for you to assume complete ownership of the risk management function. A longer-term goal, depending on your aptitude and performance, is for you to take on additional areas of responsibility.

Diverse challenges -- no two days will be the same in this position. In the morning you may review contracts, in the afternoon meet with the Safety Manager and tomorrow you might work with a broker on claims. You might go several weeks without a claim of any kind and then, all at once, find three or four on your desk. You'll administer programs covering people, buildings, vehicles and other assets.

Solid growth, fresh momentum -- Clean Energy has the right solutions at the right time, as more and more organizations are exploring alternative fuel vehicles and solutions. And that growth is accelerating:

We recently entered into a partnership with Chesapeake Energy Corporation, the nation's second largest natural gas producer, to develop America's Natural Gas Highway (ANGH), a network of 150 liquid natural gas fueling stations at Pilot Flying J Travel Centers throughout the US.
In mid-November 2011 Clean Energy shares rose more than 15% in response to the introduction of new US Senate legislation (the New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions Act of 2011) offering tax credits and other incentives to promote the development of natural gas as an alternative transportation fuel. Clean Energy is ideally positioned to take advantage of these incentives.

Proven strong leadership -- you will join a team of accomplished, seasoned professionals at Clean Energy, led by Andrew Littlefair. Mr. Littlefair served as President of Pickens Fuel Corp (PFC), predecessor company of Clean Energy, which he co-founded in 1997 with Boone Pickens and was Staff Assistant to then President Ronald Reagan in the Office of Presidential Advance from 1983 to 1987. Our executive team's profiles can be viewed at CleanEnergyFuels.com..

Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary and incentive bonus program, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes all you would expect plus some pleasant surprises, such as a discretionary match on our 401(k) plan -- in four of the last five years the company has matched 50% of the employee's annual contribution. We also have an onsite fitness center staffed by a personal trainer.

While natural gas is 23% cleaner in carbon emissions than diesel in heavy-duty vehicles -- and far cleaner in NOX and PM emissions -- biomethane enables an 88% reduction in carbon emissions when displacing diesel or gasoline.

Keys to Success

Your technical knowledge will be essential, but just as important will be your interpersonal skills. We'll look to you to be proactive about establishing yourself as a value-adding business partner, and you'll need a collaborative approach as well as the ability to influence and motivate others. You also will need to back up your ideas with compelling arguments and / or solid business cases; at the same time, in some situations you may need to be assertive. You'll need robust attention to detail but also a strong grasp of the bigger picture and how the details fit into it. As we transform from manual to automated processes, you'll need to be willing to get hands-on in order to achieve your goals.

The Clean Energy vision extends beyond servicing the high fuel-use requirements of fleet operators. We are committed to helping businesses access the measurable advantages of clean-fuel solutions. Simultaneously, we are committed to protecting our environment as the leader in clean-air transportation. Clean Energy has proven that business and environmental goals can indeed find common ground, with mutually profitable results. Our vision and efforts have received recognition and awards from business and environmental organizations alike.
