Electrical Engineering at Fayetteville PWC: Where Power Meets Purpose

Work alongside experienced engineers on Distribution and Transmission design projects, including involvement with the GRIP Transmission Grant project.
From Substation to Meter:
Gain hands-on exposure to the full utility engineering lifecycle—from substations all the way to the meter point—while learning how real-world power systems operate.
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.
