Below is a description of the current internship being advertised. I expect there will be two additional internship opportunities posted in the near future. The rate of pay for this opportunity is $15.35/hour and the ideal candidate would have skills and interests in accounting. To apply for the internship, students must submit an online application by June 13, 2013, and submit their information at the following link: PUC Internship.

I’m excited to offer this opportunity and I am hopeful that you can identify students who may benefit from this experience. For more information, please see our posting at Oregonjobs.org under Volunteer/Internships.

DESCRIPTION:
The Oregon Public Utility Commission (Commission) values the energy of teamwork, diversity, and innovation to provide the highest quality work product possible. The Commission regulates customer rates and services of the state’s investor-owned electric, natural gas and telephone utilities; and certain water companies. The Commission ensures consumers receive utility service at fair and reasonable rates, while allowing regulated companies the opportunity to earn an adequate return on their investment. This internship opportunity is available in the Commission’s Utility Program whose research, analysis and technical support makes sure regulated companies provide safe, reliable and high-quality service at reasonable rates. Their efforts also promote effective competition in those industries.
