Licensing & Permitting Co-op: Eversource is committed to the highest standards of environmental performance. In all aspects of our business – we strive to manage the impact of our operations as stewards of our environment. Licensing & Permitting provides project support for all maintenance and new construction projects conducted by Eversource, which include working with a team to development of a permitting strategy, outreach, and consultation with local, state, and federal agencies, contracting and supervision of outside consultant services, ensuring regulatory compliance, observing the company's BMPs and overseeing mitigation requirements. All responsibilities are performed with attention to cost and schedule.

The Environmental Affairs Department uses co-ops to support the Licensing & Permitting staff. Students will assist in conducting environmental reviews using GIS mapping and remote desktop applications and on-site field inspections on incoming maintenance work and new projects for both electric and gas operations. These preliminary reviews will assist in determining permits necessary for construction projects and the protection needed for wetland resource areas, endangered species, flood zones, and hazardous sites and materials. Students will also help prepare maintenance notification letters to ensure clear communication between the company and regulators on project scope

The co-op student will work primarily at the BERLIN, CT facility. However, the co-op will be required to visit area stations, new construction sites, and company Right-of-Ways to inspect and maintain the surrounding environment’s resource areas as well as supervise consultant groups.
