About the position

AVANGRID is a destination employer where talented and committed people build long-term careers. We are committed to unleashing every employee's potential. Our 2-year Local Rotational Program is guided by three foundational principles: Exposure, Experience, and Engagement. This program provides exposure to multiple business and engineering functions, allowing participants to connect with managers, teams, and resources across the organization to build a strong network. Participants will gain experience through a variety of challenging project-based assignments, immersing themselves in on-the-job learning. These carefully structured experiences will expose participants to each of the key elements of our Engineering Development Program, which includes rotational assignments across multiple businesses and functions, self-development skills training, and technical advancement opportunities through Graduate Certificates at UConn, WPI, and GTI. The core of the program consists of three rotating job assignments, generally every 6-9 months, across one of several potential tracks. Depending on the track, participants may establish broad experience across engineering groups or deeper experience within a more specialized area. Each rotation is designed to develop the experience and critical skills needed for future roles after graduating from the program. Participants will be tasked with challenging but rewarding assignments that will positively impact the communities we serve while also providing opportunities to develop as future engineering leaders. Members may also have opportunities to work on process improvement or cross-functional projects related to their rotations. Depending on the degree, desired career path, and business needs, these rotations could include experiences in Orange, CT, Rochester/Binghamton, NY, and Augusta/Portland, ME. The rotations will be in tracks such as Gas Engineering, Design & Delivery, where participants will learn about regulatory requirements, construction standards, and project management practices associated with natural gas facilities. The next cohort is set to start in July 2025.
