Every minute of every day, we keep the power flowing. The safe and reliable operation of our system and energy of our people contribute to the vital connection between where power is generated and where it is needed. We are experts at what we do: planning, maintaining, operating and protecting the regional electric grid.
Since ATC was formed over two decades ago, the energy landscape has rapidly evolved. Our customers and other organizations across the Upper Midwest are pursuing new energy policy goals that are affecting changes to generation sources. At the same time, we are developing efficiencies and technology that strengthen the grid during this transition to provide a safe and reliable pathway for all forms of power.
Our fast-paced and innovative environment offers employees exciting opportunities to build meaningful careers. We also invest in community and educational programs focused on science, technology, engineering and math to help empower youth with the skill sets needed for success in tomorrow’s energy sector.
In this role, you’ll use your bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in government relations, public affairs or communications to develop and maintain stakeholder trust and credibility in communities impacted or potentially impacted by ATC projects, ensure representation of the interests of impacted communities within ATC’s processes and among project teams and be responsive to local issues and concerns while meeting the needs of ATC customers. You’ll also develop possible routes with project teams for projects requiring new rights-of-way and implement appropriate means for public involvement for these projects, anticipate and facilitate responses to local community concerns, and support project teams by leading identification and implementation of local relations activities associated with needed transmission work and specific ATC projects.
ATC embraces flexibility in our work and our workplace. We trust our employees to get work done where and when it makes sense, depending on the schedule for the day and the needs of the business.
If you have experience in government relations or public relations and knowledge of the utility industry, we want you to energize your future at ATC!
