SRP enrolls approximately 12 recent engineering graduates in our rotation program, typically six in January and six in July. The ideal candidate for the program has completed a bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET‑accredited program.

In addition to meeting the academic degree requirement, we are looking for candidates who exhibit good communication skills, an ability to work on a team or individually, and a passion for the engineering discipline.

Engineering majors currently under consideration include electrical, mechanical, civil and chemical. This position will provide engineering services to SRP in a technically sound, safe, timely and cost‑effective manner to enable SRP to realize its goals and objectives for providing water‑ and energy‑related services.

• Upon hire, you will be assigned a company mentor. The mentor will provide you with guidance and advice to build your rotational career plan. Mentors are engineers, many of whom began their careers at SRP through the rotation program.
• You will work four six‑month rotations in your selected departments.
• You can select engineering assignments from 69 different departments across our water or energy businesses.
• At the end of the two‑year rotation, you will perform an evaluation with your mentor.
• When you successfully complete the program, you can apply for open engineer positions or request placement within the company. SRP business needs and your interests determine placement.

Locations are primarily in Phoenix, Arizona. However, some assignments will require travel to facilities around Arizona outside the Phoenix area.
