Our Story

Why we founded Julius

The energy transition over the next 30+ years will rely on people as much as technology. While we know there will be millions of new energy jobs by 2032, today, 85% of energy companies already struggle to hire. We founded Julius to address the talent needs of the energy transition, supporting companies' mission critical needs while also providing inclusive pathways to attractive jobs and careers for more Americans.

About our name

Those who serve in the infrastructure community are part of a vital profession going back thousands of years. In honor of that legacy, we derive our name from Sextus Julius Frontinus (35-103 AD), the public servant, military general, and innovator who was appointed by the emperor to head Rome’s water commission. He led pioneering initiatives to improve the city’s nine critical but aging aqueducts, as well as its infrastructure workforce.

Our values

Julius is proud of its diverse and innovative team, made up of industry experts, educators, data scientists, and AI engineers. We are focused on ensuring everyone can participate and benefit from the opportunities created by the energy transition.
