What our employees say

"My job provides the opportunity to get involved in the full spectrum of engineering tasks. I’m not sitting in a cubicle all day, every day. I have the chance to get out in the field and do hands-on work."
Lara Downs, Staff Engineer (Civil)

"The number one thing I like about working at EWEB is the people. I have been here 29 years and have had great supervisors and co-workers. There are not too many other places I would rather be than EWEB."
Percy Luvert, Customer Service Field Representative

"EWEB has the traditional values of a public utility—caring about community, customer and employee needs—rather than the investment needs of shareholder interests."
ida Sajor, Short Term Power Trader

"If there is a way to prevent an injury or make my job easier, EWEB's Safety Department has always provided me with the necessary tools."
Brandie Caster, Storekeeper

"I have the opportunity to do things well, with excellence, not just using the cheapest or quickest method."
Tom Teutsch, Staff Engineer (Electrical)

"One of the nice things about this work is there are so many aspects—using knowledge to maintain water quality and safety, the physical work and customer relations. I do so many things including testing hydrants, maintaining the water analysis equipment and helping with water outages. Every day is different."
Lisa Bean, Utility Mechanic

"There are lots of training opportunities here. I have had three different apprenticeships. You can’t do that other places. I am proud to say that I work at EWEB and appreciate the opportunities I have been given here."
Rick McCalligan, Substation Crew Leader

"What I like most about being a crew leader is being able to help the guys I work with. I like having the opportunity to help the apprentices learn the trade."
Tavita Ma’o, Line Crew Leader
