Employee Quotes

Austin, Former Intern,
now Associate 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.”

Fara, Associate
Efficiency Consultant

Meet Fara

“I am an Energy Efficiency Consultant for Eversource Energy. I joined the company as a Co-op/Intern while in graduate school, working out of the Berlin, CT office. After graduating, I was hired full time to join the Energy Efficiency Gas team in Westwood, MA. Eversource has a goal to be carbon neutral by 2030 and it helps in reducing our customers carbon footprint which in turn helps to protect the environment. My role is like that of a project manager. I manage the process from sourcing for opportunities to save energy up until final installation of these energy efficiency measures. A lot of these measures are also incentivized through the offerings from the states we operate in, so our customers don't have to cover the entire cost. It is a very fulfilling job because I get to see in real time carbon emission reduction while also helping our customers save money.”

Julia, Associate
Transmission Development
Program

Meet Julia

“In the Transmission Development Program, I have the opportunity to explore different aspects of the energy industry and the future of this industry. I currently guide project teams through engineering, design, siting, permitting and construction of both substation and line projects. I have the opportunity to understand the process of how energy is bought and sold, and I participate in conversations with customers about construction on transmission lines. Graduating, with a business degree, I never thought I would be working in the energy industry but this program and has given me an understanding and appreciation of the way energy systems work. The people at Eversource Energy are willing and ready to help you develop as a young professional and grow into your career.”
