Engineering in Action:
As an intern, you’ll support data collection and analysis, assist with work order creation, and help troubleshoot system issues that impact everyday operations.
If you’re curious, detail-oriented, and eager to learn how engineering directly supports a community’s power needs, this is your opportunity to gain real utility engineering experience with meaningful impact.
