  • Ensuring designs meet all safety, reliability and regulatory requirements
  • Maintaining accurate project documentation, records and mapping data
  • Participating in field inspections and assisting with troubleshooting and problem resolution as needed
  • Supporting departmental needs for training and development

You’ll join a company where all employees live by corporate values of innovation, public-service heart, passion, respect and making an impact. We do more than just speak to those values. We live them out every day — and so will you!

We offer an excellent benefits package, which includes medical, dental and life insurance; 401(k) matching and a pension retirement plan; education reimbursement; and many opportunities for professional growth and mentoring. 

Required Skills

  • Associate’s degree or technical degree in engineering technology, electrical technology or a related field
  • Three to five years of experience in electric utility distribution design, staking or a closely related role
  • Working knowledge of electric distribution systems, construction practices, and applicable codes and standards
