Summer Internship Opportunity - Georgia Power
Georgia Power's line crews (distribution and transmission), network underground and metering services play an integral part in Georgia's economy. Hospitals, government agencies, schools, businesses, and individuals rely on lineworkers and other essential workers to provide reliable electric service. If you're looking for a position in which you can make a difference and serve Georgians, consider becoming a lineworker or metering tech, to name a few, with Georgia Power.

• The program is approximately 8 weeks, with a preferred start time in June.
• Schedule: Monday through Friday – 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (may vary based on work location and team)
