Austin, Engineer
Meet Austin
“My internship at Eversource in the Grid Modernization department was nothing short of amazing. My thoughts opinions, and ideas were always valued and then some. My work was always meaningful and challenging enough to keep me interested and eager to learn more about the Electric Utility. As an engineer you never stop learning, and working along side all people of many different backgrounds and knowledge makes being a part of this company just that much better! Because of my experience, I joined Eversource as an Associate Engineer after Graduation.”
