Engineering Internships – Protection & Controls Engineering Group
The Eversource Engineering Co-Op Program is designed to deliver students with the opportunity to apply both classroom and prior experience learning to real life application. The program is 6-months in duration and provides everyone an opportunity to gain experience working in assigned engineering areas.
Protection & Controls (P&C) Engineering Group at Eversource is responsible for the design and operation of the devices and systems used to detect abnormal system conditions, such as electrical faults, and take automatic or supervisory control actions to isolate, mitigate, and restore the Transmission and Distribution system. Internship assignments can either be with the P&C Projects teams, which are focused on design and upgrade of these P&C systems or with the P&C Compliance Standards and Support (CSS) Group which is responsible for the monitoring and analysis of these P&C devices and systems in response to disturbance events.
