The Times-Picayune and The Advocate are seeking an energy and industrial development reporter to join our growing business desk.

Louisiana is in the midst of a boom in new industrial projects, with tens of billions of dollars in investments set to arrive in coming years. Liquefied Natural Gas terminals are turning coastal Louisiana into a crucial hub for global energy markets. At the same time, wind and solar projects on land and offshore are under development, potentially reshaping how Louisiana generates power even as it remains tied to fossil fuels.

All of these projects bring the promise of jobs and economic growth while raising fresh concerns about pollution, quality of life and the taxpayer incentives they often entail. We’re seeking a reporter who can cover it all, with a keen eye for big scoops along with enterprise stories that show how these industries are reshaping lives in our state.

The Advocate is an equal employment opportunity employer, committed to recruiting, developing, and promoting a diverse workforce while providing unique opportunities and career paths for our employees.  We encourage applicants of all backgrounds and experience levels to apply.

Salary: Commensurate with experience

Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, Life, Short Term Disability (STD), Long Term Disability (LTD), Paternity Leave, PTO and 401k Retirement Savings company match.
