Jobs at Oorja Development Solutions

Oorja is an award-winning social enterprise based in New Delhi, tackling some of the most pressing challenges in the energy sector today: renewable energy expansion and energy poverty. Oorja’s focus is on powering beneficial appliances that help users to generate stable incomes, create jobs, and mitigate carbon emissions. Despite urgent need, around 90% of farmers cannot afford to invest in solar technology for their farms. Oorja wants to close this gap. We install, operate and maintain off-grid solar energy systems for community use and sell irrigation, milling and refrigeration as affordable services to marginal farmers. We focus on rural areas of northern India where farmers are currently reliant on polluting and expensive diesel motors for their energy needs. Our core strengths are our inclusive, customer-centred model and a diverse and driven team with shared passion in sustainable development. We are determined to scale up access to solar power among the most marginalised communities. Some of our supporters and partners in this mission are: DOEN Foundation, Cisco, Echoing Green, Vista Ventures Social Impact Fund, and Villgro. Oorja is an equal opportunity employer. It offers exciting high-impact assignments, a collegial and creative work environment, attractive wages, and the opportunity for committed professionals to thrive and grow within flat hierarchies and in the pursuit of an inspiring mission.
