WHAT KIND OF JOBS ARE THERE AT WFEC?
We have jobs for engineers and technicians.
WFEC has a variety of needs in multiple disciplines. Transmission, generation, and communication are some of those.
Our transmission engineers design high voltage transmission lines and substations. Some design control systems to operate those substations remotely and communications networks to coordinate the operation of the transmission system. Our generation engineers maintain and improve the efficiency of our power plants to reduce costs and ensure availability. Our communications technicians design and expand WFEC’s microwave communications network to enable all our facilities to work together. Our system operators control our generation or transmission networks. If your degree is in engineering or technology, you will find WFEC offers challenging and dynamic opportunities.
We have jobs for those who enjoy the challenge of working outdoors in all kinds of weather.
Our transmission system extends more than 3,600 miles and includes 267 substations. Our power line technicians, systems technicians, and station technicians keep it operating with preventative and restorative maintenance activities. Whether it is a snake in the substation or a tornado that causes an outage, our transmission and substation crews mobilize to rebuild and restore electric service to our members. We have jobs that involve operating heavy and light equipment. These include bull dozers, semi-trucks, bucket trucks, digger trucks, and other types of construction equipment. If you like working outdoors and accept the “get the lights back on” challenge, then the transmission and substation jobs are just what you want.
WFEC has jobs that mean generating energy.
Our power plants utilize various disciplines in the electric generation process. There are jobs in plant operations, maintenance, fuel handling, water treatment, electronics, and system controls. They are all integral to the generation process. These jobs incorporate advanced technology. They offer the satisfaction of maintaining sophisticated machinery at a high level of availability and efficiency. Power Plant Operators, Maintenance Mechanics, Fuel Systems Operators, Electrical and Instrumentation Technicians, and Computer Technicians are among the jobs that create the electricity our members need. If your experience includes hands-on skills needed to run a power plant, there are excellent job opportunities at WFEC.
We have challenging jobs supporting and operating a major business.
Hundreds of millions of dollars flow through WFEC each year. A committed professional support services staff is necessary to keep WFEC financially strong. These jobs include professionals including accountants, supply chain, analysts, network and data base administration, human resources, legal and regulatory compliance, and marketing. If your experience includes these areas, WFEC has jobs of interest for you.
