Hiring

<< < (2/3) > >>

redline:
Yes Duke Energy is hiring at all sites in all departments. They plan on replacing more than 5800 employees within the next five years due to attrition. If you check throughout the year the jobs will be posted.

As far as Operations; they keep and open job posting whether they're currently hiring or not, they want your resume' especially if you're right off the boat or just out of school. They do not want experienced (older) new hires but experience does not prevent your hiring just makes you less valuable to them in the future which is when they need you. I imagine after several years of the job posting the resume' bank is pretty full.

For RP; yes Duke sponsors an AA program in Spartanburg. It remains to be seen if they will only hire from that program in the future. There's probably zero chance of being hired unless your a Spartanburg student or well known by them. Duke expects to hire 16 students this summer as RP trainees.

When Duke posts jobs (except for operations) it's there for two weeks then it's gone.

Hope this helps

I can almost bet my salary if I told them I had SRO Licenses and am qualified as a Shift Manager on both a BWR or a PWR the word "experience" would not be a factor :)

I think Duke is confused!?!

It takes less effort, time and money to bring someone with experience up to speed than it does to train someone with no experience at all.

By "appropriating" experience from other plants, a company can learn and gain a small advantage over their counterparts.

Experience trains inexperience.  They are the ones with the OE.

redline:
Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse anyone or sound confused. The fact is Duke likes to grow their own. There is currently an over abundance of OSM's, SRO's, RO's and folks in licensing class. There are also many who have given up their licenses simply because they will never use them again. Take out the word experience and just use 'age', not politically correct, but Duke is hiring for the distant future, not tomorrow. Again that doesn't mean they will not hire someone who is seasoned, experienced or licensed some where else. It's just not their philosophy in hiring right now. With any luck they will break ground on a new plant in the next couple years and the hiring will continue.

I would recommend anyone looking for a change to apply. It's a great company to work for and the Carolinas are a great place to live, especially if you're family oriented. The pays a little lower than most other areas, but the cost of living is lower also.

Redline is right, when I talked with their Ops Manager and Hiring managers, they basically told me that they didn't care to talk to outside people; they liked to grow their own and hire engineers and NLO's from outside while supplying the RO/SRO/SM ranks from within.  BZ, I PM'd you some contact info if you are interested.
