Equal Employment Opportunity

NREL is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status or any other status protected by applicable law.

Drug-Free Workplace

NREL complies with federal law prohibiting the possession and use of illegal drugs and is committed to a drug-free workplace. Colorado Amendment 64 does not change NREL's policy on marijuana. Marijuana is considered a controlled substance under federal law and its possession and use are not permitted by NREL. To maintain a drug-free workplace, NREL requires pre-employment drug testing as a condition of employment. If you have any questions, please contact your recruiter.

E-Verify

NREL validates right to work using E-Verify. NREL will provide the Social Security Administration and, if necessary, the Department of Homeland Security, with information from each new employee's I-9 Form to confirm work authorization.
