FirstEnergy

We’re known for our energy

FirstEnergy comprises one of the nation’s largest investor-owned electric systems with more than $16 billion in annual revenues, approximately $48 billion in assets and more than 17,000 employees ready to take on the most difficult energy challenges.

For more than a century, FirstEnergy and its predecessor companies have provided safe and reliable electric service to customers in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Our success rests on the foundation of trust and confidence our customers, employees and other stakeholders place in FirstEnergy as we strive to meet the growing demand for electricity in an increasingly complex environment.

An award winning Fortune 200 company, we offer our employees significant opportunities to build challenging and rewarding careers in a dynamic environment. For example, our employees are taking leading roles in testing new environmental and electric distribution technologies to reduce the impact of our operations and improve system reliability.

Our goal is to provide a work environment where you can expect innovation, strong leadership, accountability and integrity – and where your efforts will be rewarded.
