What's the best first job to get, in order to pursue a Sustainable Energy career?

I just finished my MsC in Mechanical Engineering,and specialized myself in Energy and Environment. I am super interested in the way our energy as a whole is evolving, and all the interactions and sectors it covers: renewable energy, energy efficiency, eletric transportation, heating and cooling, energy storage, smart cities, so on. I would like to be responsible in managing some projects and making decisions regarding them in the far future.

So far, most of the job positions that cover more than one of these topics either ask for X years of experience, or ask for an eletrical engineer. On this last month, I could only find very specific jobs - mainly, AVAC and solar PV. I'm not that interested in AVAC, and the solar only had chores of structural design or commercial, which really go a bit far from the energy knowledge.

I don't mind expertising myself in only one of the fields as a starting point, but my main professional objectives would be to focus on several of them. As such, what type of job you suggest I look for, in order to aim for a future job in the sustainable energy field?
