That’s such a great mindset! It’s awesome you want to leverage your electrical engineering skills to fight climate change.

You’re totally right about all the greenwashing on LinkedIn and Indeed. I’d suggest checking niche job boards like ClimateJobs or Energy Jobline for real roles in renewables, energy storage and grid modernization. Don’t just trust the “sustainable” tags — always look into what the company actually does. Networking with IEEE renewable energy groups can also help you find solid opportunities.
