Epg - Permitting Intern

**About us**:
Hello We are Samara, the solar installation startup that goes beyond self-consumption. We are here to accelerate the energy transition of households towards a more efficient, smarter and more sustainable model.

We are a high-growth startup that, above all, prioritizes people and the planet. We have the support of investors such as Seaya Ventures and Pelion Green Future and our team is constantly growing. We are looking to expand our **Energy Engineering** team.

In line with our values, at Samara we firmly believe that the climate crisis is the biggest challenge facing our generation. Housing, in particular, is one of the main sources of carbon emissions in developed countries.
