Jacob Bechtold Email & Phone Number

I am an industrial systems engineer that is passionate about sustainability and climate. Since May 2023 I have worked as a Project Manager for Renewable Energy Partners. During the 2022-2023 school year, I was a project management intern at Renewable Energy Partners. I learned about the solar industry, project management, and focused on the interconnection process of solar projects. In the summer of 2022, I was a sustainability intern at the Toro Company. At Toro, I focused on corporate greenhouse gas emissions where I lead Toro in finding the best system to track scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. In the summer of 2021, I had an internship with the city of Saint Paul working with their greenhouse gas inventory. I also had an internship as a building science intern for Midwest Aerobarrier. In both roles, I learned valuable skills for my career as well as where I want my career to be headed. In college, I was the Founder of 365Green, a student group focused on sustainability. Starting 365Green in a global pandemic taught me the value of perseverance, and the importance of surrounding yourself with driven, passionate people. The most valuable thing I have learned from 365Green is how to work and lead an effective leadership team. I am a huge people person and love talking and learning from people. During my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, disc golf, hiking, camping, and spending time with family and friends.
