CBRE Energy & Renewables represents and advises commercial and industrial customers in the origination, structuring, and execution of energy transactions. Our DG Advisory practice has a long history of structuring creative transactions across community solar, on-site solar and storage, and both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter solutions for corporate clients.
This is a senior role on a small, high-performing team responsible for delivering an integrated on-site DG offering across solar, storage, BESS, fuel cells, and adjacent reliability products. You will be the right hand to the practice lead, with significant exposure to Fortune 500 energy, sustainability, finance, procurement, and real estate decision-makers, and a clear runway to expand commercial responsibility over time.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Deal execution. Originate, structure, and close complex C&I energy transactions end-to-end, including PPAs, ground and rooftop leases, and value share agreements across a range of energy solutions.
- Transaction ownership. Serve as transaction quarterback, supported and overseen by the Senior Director, from first conversation through customer engagement, RFP, developer selection, and definitive agreement. Drive project management, problem-solve transaction issues, and build strong relationships with customers and developer partners to support successful transactions and great client outcomes.
- Senior client engagement. Engage Fortune 500 energy, sustainability, finance, procurement, and real estate leadership, including regular interaction with CFOs and other C-suite stakeholders. Write and design convincing presentations and other communications.
- Developer-side fluency. Build and maintain credibility with developer counterparties. Understand market-clearing terms across solar, BESS, and fuel cell structures, and flag where proposed terms are off-market.
- Cross-functional translation. Translate client needs into actionable transaction structures, and translate developer constraints back into terms clients can absorb.
- Be an energy market expert. Be a trusted advocate and expert in the DG energy space. Stay current on policy changes, shifting market dynamics, and emerging incentive programs, and help our customers and team capitalize on valuable opportunities as they appear.
- Team development. Mentor and direct analyst and associate-level team members on analysis projects and client communication.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Energy Jobs
Verify your role qualifies as specialty occupation
Energy titles like petroleum engineer, power systems analyst, and grid operations specialist clearly require a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. Review the O*NET occupation profile for your exact role before applying to confirm the specialty occupation threshold is met.
Search verified H-1B1 sponsorship history on Migrate Mate
Filter by energy sector and Singaporean nationality on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active H-1B1 visa LCA filings. DOL Labor Condition Application records show real sponsorship patterns, not just job postings that may never materialize into visa support.
Target employers already familiar with H-1B1 Singapore filings
Many energy companies default to H-1B visa processes they know. Prioritize firms with upstream, midstream, or renewables operations that have previously filed LCAs for Singaporean nationals, since those HR teams won't need to build a new process from scratch for your offer.
Request the LCA before your consulate appointment date
Your employer must file and receive DOL certification for the Labor Condition Application before you can attend the consulate interview. Build at least three weeks of LCA processing time into your offer negotiation timeline so your appointment isn't delayed by a filing that started too late.
Check prevailing wage requirements using OFLC Wage Search
Your offered salary must meet the DOL prevailing wage for your specific energy role and work location. Use the OFLC Wage Search tool to look up the wage level before finalizing your offer, since a non-compliant salary triggers LCA rejection regardless of employer intent.
Prepare credentials showing a directly related degree field
Consular officers scrutinize whether your Singaporean degree maps directly to your energy role. A petroleum engineering degree for a reservoir analysis position is straightforward. A general engineering degree for a specialized renewables role may require a credential evaluation letter explaining the field connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which energy roles qualify for H-1B1 Singapore visa sponsorship?
Roles that require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related technical field qualify as specialty occupations. This covers petroleum engineers, electrical power systems engineers, renewable energy analysts, environmental engineers, and grid reliability specialists. General project management or field technician roles without a specific degree requirement typically don't meet the specialty occupation standard for H-1B1 purposes.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to H-1B for energy professionals?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa has no lottery and no USCIS petition, so your employer doesn't face the April registration gamble that eliminates most H-1B candidates before interviews even begin. The annual cap of 5,400 visas for Singaporeans has never been exhausted. The trade-off is that H-1B1 doesn't permit dual intent, so it's a nonimmigrant-only path unless you separately pursue an immigrant visa route.
How do I find energy employers who will sponsor an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Migrate Mate lets you filter job listings by H-1B1 sponsorship history using DOL Labor Condition Application data, so you can identify energy companies that have actually filed for Singaporean nationals rather than guessing from job postings. Focus on employers in sectors like oil and gas, utilities, and clean energy development, where specialty occupation filings are most common.
Can my employer file the H-1B1 LCA at the same time as my job offer?
Yes, and that timing is standard. The DOL Labor Condition Application is your employer's filing, not yours, and certification typically takes around seven business days. Your employer can initiate it immediately after your offer is accepted. You can't schedule your consulate interview for an H-1B1 until the LCA is certified, so early filing avoids the most common bottleneck in the process.
Does my Singaporean engineering credential transfer directly to U.S. energy roles?
Your degree is evaluated for equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's degree in the same or a closely related field. A four-year degree from a Singapore university in chemical, electrical, or mechanical engineering is generally accepted without additional evaluation. If your degree title is non-standard or your specialization is unconventional for the role, a formal credential evaluation report from a recognized agency strengthens your consulate application.
