About The Division
State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) partners with Texas local governments, county governments, public K-12 schools, public institutions of higher education and state agencies, to reduce utility costs and maximize efficiency. SECO also adopts energy codes for single-family residential, commercial and state-funded buildings.
Working in the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) is not your typical government job. If you want to work in a small office where you are involved in managing projects from cradle to grave and you help represent our states interests at national meetings, this is the ideal position for you.
While we have many programs at SECO that help public entities in Texas reduce utility costs and maximize efficiency, this opportunity focuses on the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) nuclear weapons complex and environmental cleanup, by leading cooperative efforts with DOE, state and local governments to ensure their activities in our state do not adversely impact public health, safety, and the environment. In addition, travel to regional and national meetings with other states and tribes who host DOE facilities provides a network of organizations to work with and learn from. These groups partner with DOE to tackle challenging issues such as environmental cleanup across the nuclear weapons complex, as well as future nuclear reactor designs to provide clean energy across the nation and the world.
