Solar Operations & Financial Analyst Summer Student

At Enbridge, ‘energy’ means more than lighting up businesses, heating up our customers’ homes, or fueling cars, buses and trucks. It’s our way of life!

As a summer student working for Raise at Enbridge, a first-choice energy delivery company, we commit to providing you with an exciting, rewarding and engaging experience.

We know that when your initiative and talents align with our vision and values, we create good energy. You will work as part of an innovative and collaborative team to develop the practical skills needed to build your future career.

In the role of Solar Operations & Financial Analyst Summer Student, you will provide Solar OPEX Planning and Analysis. It’s an excellent opportunity for someone with business/finance (possibly Engineering) skills who is interested in solar/battery storage and renewable energy.

Placement Details:

This is a 4-month placement starting in May 2027, located in Houston, TX.

What you will do:

• Assist in streamlining a solar Operational Expenditure (OpEx) Pro Forma that provides an initial annual operating-cost estimate for new or existing solar projects.
• Work within an Excel-based estimating model that allows users to enter key project characteristics and assumptions.
• Develop cost assumptions and unit-rate benchmarks (from actual or historical data, where available) that let the model calculate a preliminary annual OpEx budget from project characteristics. Document how the estimates were built so future users can understand the method and update it as costs change.

Who you are:

• You are currently enrolled in a full-time post-secondary program studying Business, Finance, Analytics or Engineering and will be returning to full-time school immediately following the work term.
• Effective and professional communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to communicate with all levels within the organization.

• Ability to actively and consistently represent Enbridge’s core values (Safety, Integrity, Respect, Inclusion, High Performance).
• Good analytical and data analysis skills, with the ability to identify cost drivers.
• Ability to organize data and turn it into a simple, usable budgeting model.
• Attention to detail and willingness to work independently.

Working Conditions:

• Office-based role located in Houston, Texas, with opportunities and an expectation to visit solar sites across Texas, including Corpus Christi, Abilene, and San Antonio, to gain firsthand exposure to site operations.
• Relocation assistance is not provided.
