Xcel Energy field internship starts June 13 for 6 weeks,
three days each week, 8 hours per day. Start time is around
7:30am. The students are paid $10.15 per hour. They
will be given a stipend in a form of a gift card to purchase steel toe shoes.
We will pay for their first week on the bus to their work location.
They will need to pass the EEI CAST test to receive an
interview. Students can be 17 or 18 years old.
They will spend time in the field where they will job shadow
with field employees who are digging trenches to install electric wire and gas
lines. They will not be doing any physical labor due to safety
concerns. They may take tools off the trucks, may clean up the
tools and possibly use a shovel or rake a few times. They will see how we
test meters at the meter shop. They will spend time with employees who
work on the gas side of the business and with employees who work on the
electric side of the business. The employees they will spend most of
their time with is where they could possibly start as a full time
employee. The Utility Services department is where we have entry level
work for people interested in working for us in the field.
We will have an orientation on day one so they can see what
we are all about as a utility company. We will have the students tour a
power plant, a distribution center, and our trading floor.
Here is the link for the sample EEI CAST
test. The actual test will take place on April 8.
Students must be at 1800 Larimer St at 2:30pm. It is a three hour test
and they will not be able to use calculators. They will need to pay for
parking which can be around $11 unless they take the bus downtown.
