A Career at ATCO Electric

A summer job that works for you

 

"It's an extraordinary working opportunity because you learn so much. I really value the working relationships between the company and the customers. I respect that."
- Ashley, 2010 Summer Student, Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation

If selected, you’d be placed in a four-month work term at one of our 38 offices across northern and east-central Alberta or at our headquarters in Edmonton.
