Distributed Energy Resources Engineer

About Us

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Wabash Valley Power is a not-for-profit electric cooperative and wholesale provider of reliable, affordable electricity to our 21 electric distribution member cooperatives. These cooperatives in turn serve more than 280,000 homes, businesses, and farms in Indiana and Illinois.

As a not-for-profit co-op, we do things a bit differently—and that’s the point. Because we aren’t influenced by shareholders, we make our decisions with our members in mind. That means we value things like teamwork, and putting families first. It also means a business model that’s designed for stability and growth. It’s a Deliberately Different approach to the energy industry, and that’s great news for the people who count on us.

These aren’t just slogans: We offer continuing education, flex time, health benefits, a 401(k) match and pension plan, and much more. Here are just a few of the things that make our company culture unique:

• No Sweat

We offer a wellness program offers extra HSA contributions (for qualifying plans), access to an on-site fitness center for your convenience and extra vacation days for participating. We’ll even throw in a fitness device reimbursement to keep you on track!

Our flexible schedule means you can work in your appointments or family events and maintain a comfortable work-life balance. Speaking of flexible, we offer a hybrid work environment for those who enjoy a mix of working both at home and in the office. Our core office days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So if you like working from home, you can do that on Mondays and Fridays!

• Stay in School

We value employees who have a desire to learn, so we provide funds for continuing education. We also offer in-house training and ongoing development through our internal GROW program.

When you work for us, you work in comfort. Blue jeans are the norm in our office and we make them look good!
