Overview & Purpose

From the hiring manager:

The Electrical Engineering team at CAP is looking for a skilled and experienced candidate to fill our open Electrical Engineering position! What I usually tell people my favorite thing about working at CAP is, is that you really have a lot of freedom and decision-making authority as an engineer. The different type of projects you will get to work on will keep you constantly learning and working on something different. A great thing about working on the owner side of a utility is being involved with a project from the conceptual phase all the way to commissioning, and being able to see how your project works over time and get the satisfaction of a satisfied internal customer. The position will challenge you; I encourage everyone to get out of their comfort zone and learn new things. You will get the opportunity to work on huge machines and systems you would not see in many places in Arizona. Please apply if you are interested in a challenging, rewarding career that also provides a flexible work-life balance!
