For over 85 years, we have powered rural communities across 26 counties in western and northern Michigan. We serve over 128,000 meters as the third-largest Michigan-based electric utility and the state's largest member-owned power company.
We prioritize enriching the lives of our community members. We not only provide electric service, but we also provide reliable and robust fiber technology through Truestream, a communication solutions subsidiary of Great Lakes Energy.
We have over 300 employees who are more than just colleagues - we're a close-knit family of diverse professionals united by a shared vision. Our collaborative environment encourages creativity, empowers growth, and fosters a sense of purpose in everything we do.
A Day in The Life of an Electrical Engineer
Your day is a mix of coordination, collaboration, and support. You help manage the development of construction work plans, load studies, distribution system long-range plans, sectionalizing studies, and environmental reports. You support and collaborate with all departments, specifically the engineering department. You assist with load forecasting, energy use trending, and planning of residential, commercial and industrial developments.
Who You Are
You're the kind of person who thrives in a fast-paced environment and finds it a breeze to tackle tricky technical challenges.

You help identify and mitigate power quality problems and perform engineering studies and analysis to improve reliability.
You've got some impressive credentials too. A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and at least one year of related experience? This is the kind of stuff that makes you stand out.
