In honor of National Intern Day this week, we'd like to spotlight some our amazing Eversource Interns. Meet Jordan- Community Relations Intern "My name is Jordan Rogers, I'm a Community Relations and part-time Talent Acquisition Intern at Eversource. I have been with the company for a little over a year now, and working here has been an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experience. One of the aspects I enjoy most about working at Eversource is the opportunity to network and connect with colleagues from various departments. The employees are not only kind but also provide guidance that I will carry with me throughout my career. A standout moment during my time at Eversource was organizing an Eversource Day at the New Bedford, MA Boys and Girls Club. We engaged with the kids through workshops such as a lineworker relay race and lessons on how batteries work, helping them understand more about energy and Eversource's role as a company. Seeing the kids have fun and stay engaged was incredibly rewarding and showed the positive impact Eversource can make on the community. The culture and community at Eversource are supportive and inclusive, with everyone dedicated to making a positive impact both within the company and in the communities we serve. This commitment to community involvement and professional development has made my time here truly special. I am excited to continue growing with Eversource this summer and to be a part of its positive community impact."
Today, July 10, Eversource joins the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and other industry groups in celebrating National Lineworker Appreciation Day. Our lineworkers maintain power lines, working in harsh conditions, 50-plus feet in the air and underground, to keep our homes, businesses, and communities powered each day. Today holds special significance for the IBEW and our utility partners in the Edison Electric Institute. On this day, IBEW founder Henry Miller was killed while performing storm restoration for Potomac Electric Light and Power Co. in Washington, D.C. “Henry Miller is far from the only lineworker who has made the ultimate sacrifice to keep the lights on and power flowing,” said International President Lonnie R. Stephenson. “A single day will never be enough to show our gratitude, but I hope everyone will take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices these brave men and women make to ease our lives.” The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) recognizes July 10 as Lineworker Appreciation Day. In 2013, the U.S. Senate designated April 18 as National Lineworker Appreciation Day.
“Eversource is where I discovered I had passions for troubleshooting, teaching, and helping others. As my career’s progressed, I’ve been able to use my engineering skills while working with a highly-skilled team to solve unique problems every day.” – Sean Morrissey, Substation Operations Manager Are you interested in an exciting and rewarding career in the electric power industry?
