Engineering and Technical Services Fossil-Hydro Generation / Nonregulated Commercial Businesses
Engineering and Technical Services manages capital improvement projects and provides technical support for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of Duke Energy’s regulated and nonregulated generating facilities, to ensure an efficient and reliable electricity supply. Fossil-Hydro Generation is responsible for operating our regulated fossil and hydro generating stations, while Nonregulated Commercial Businesses operate our nonregulated fossil, hydro, and wind generating stations. The Engineering and Technical Services co-op program integrates across the three functions.
While Duke Energy is always interested in engineering graduates, we strongly encourage participation in an engineering co-op program.
