Tampa Electric and its sister companies serve a role in providing critical services to our community during an emergency. Team members are required to participate in the response/recovery activities related to emergencies/disasters to maintain service to our TECO Energy customers. Team members are required to work in their normal job duties or other assigned activities. Proper compensation will be made in accordance with the company's rules and procedures.

The TECO Energy Cooperative Education Program offers college degree‑seeking students the opportunity for professional growth while meeting the business needs of the company. The program is an extension of the educational process, providing practical experience to complement formal classroom work. The co‑op program recruits students from colleges to give them an opportunity to work in a professional environment related to their field of study.

Work assignments are consistent with the work needs of the department and the company and provide meaningful and challenging work to the student. These project management co‑op positions will report to Energy Supply project managers and support a variety of technical projects ranging in complexity, scope and time spans. Work will consist of a split between commercial (office building renovations and new construction) and industrial projects (power generation maintenance and improvements).

Typically, in addition to office work, students will work 50% of the time in the power stations and service areas, and will need to be hands on and be willing and able to work at heights on raised walkways, etc., and to work in industrial environments which can be dirty.
