Careers

ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES ARE UNLIKE OTHER UTILITIES. 

Co-ops are owned by the people we serve. This subtle fact impacts everything that happens at the cooperative.
People – the members we serve – always come before profits, and our employees are serious about the responsibility that we have to provide power to our communities. The work that we do not only makes life more comfortable and convenient, but we also make the hospitals operate, the factories run and the cell phones, computers and other technology that we rely on each day function.
Our employees power everyday life for our region. It is a serious – and sometimes hazardous – job that is incredibly rewarding and full of opportunity.
