Employee Success Stories

I attended Maine Maritime Academy and graduated with a degree in Power Engineering. Westbrook Energy Center (Calpine) hired me as an intern and after my internship they were able to find me an entry level operator position at a combined cycle power plant in Delta, Pennsylvania. My main goal was to gain experience while working in PA and hopefully be transferred back to Westbrook Energy Center, when there was a position open. After working in PA for two years I received a call from Westbrook Energy Center And I was offered a full time operator position. I have been working at Westbrook Energy Center for a year now and I'm very excited to be back home!
