What's in It for You

Turbo-charge your IT career
Plenty of positions will let you get hands-on with different application and technologies, but at Clean Energy you'll also support very different business units. In addition, we change and add technologies on a regular basis, so you can count on a steady stream of challenges and learning opportunities.

Great team
You'll join a close-knit "family" in IT, both in application support and other areas. We're a smaller team, so we all help out beyond our job descriptions, giving us opportunities to learn about new technologies and processes.

Compelling value proposition -- you probably already knew that natural gas burns much more cleanly than gasoline and diesel, producing significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. Clean Energy helps companies and public organizations meet aggressive environmental goals. But natural gas fuel is cheaper (~$1.50 cheaper per gallon than diesel), domestically abundant, and it works. And using natural gas reduces America's dependence on foreign oil.

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.

Solid growth -- Clean Energy has the right solutions at the right time, as more and more organizations are exploring alternative fuel vehicles and solutions. For instance, in October 2016 we opened a new state-of-the-art CNG station, in partnership with FedEx, in Oklahoma City. The station that will allow over 100 FedEx Freight Class 8 trucks (big-rigs) to use the convenience of fast-fueling as well as money-saving time-fueling.

Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary and bonus incentive 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.

Video: Clean Energy produces Redeem™, the first commercially available, renewable natural gas vehicle fuel. Derived entirely from organic waste streams, it's available in either CNG or LNG form for commercial vehicles including fleets, heavy-duty trucks, refuse trucks, transit, and airport service vehicles.

Keys to Success

We are ready to help you expand your knowledge and gain valuable hands-on experience. In return, we'll look you to you take the initiative in your own training. We'll help you set up a learning plan, and then you should be proactive in ensuring that you follow it -- rather than waiting for someone to tell you what to do, you should be proactive about getting the information you need. There will be a lot to take in, so you should be organized in taking notes and absorbing insight about diverse technologies. In addition, we'll expect you to start contributing even as you are getting up to speed.

The help desk work may not be the most attractive aspect of this role, but you should approach it as yet another opportunity to learn. We are a smaller team and everyone is willing to pitch in and do what needs to be done. In all aspects of the role you'll work directly with users, whom we consider our customers, and your interpersonal skills will be as important as your technical knowledge. You should be patient in probing for information, helping non-technical people convey their needs and issues clearly.

We maintain a business formal environment and display a high level of professionalism here at Clean Energy, as customers and investors visit our offices frequently. The culture is casual, entrepreneurial and results oriented, and people truly enjoy working here.
