About The Position

The Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL) is an applied workforce research initiative that builds methodology-transparent workforce intelligence. WIL is assembling a California team to respond to the California Energy Commission's Charger Service Skills Accelerator grant solicitation (GFO-26-601). This solicitation funds training for credentials in servicing electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment, including installation, commissioning, verification and testing, maintenance, repair, technical support, and decommissioning. Funded projects must provide training, collaborate with worker, employer, and educational provider partners, and offer a clear path from training to quality jobs. This is a contingent proposal opportunity, not a funded vacancy. Applications are due October 30, 2026. If an award proceeds, WIL may offer full-time employment or a project-based contract engagement. Engagements are remote-first, with travel as required for California partner and training sites.
