Company Profile
Pedernales Electric Cooperative
Company Overview
The PEC difference
We’re more than an ordinary utility — we are guided by principles that put the needs of our members, employees, and communities first. Serving nearly one million Texans across an expansive, diverse territory takes strength, commitment, and teamwork. At PEC, we rely on each other, so our members can rely on us.
As the largest electric cooperative in the United States, PEC is made up of a diverse team of talented individuals who work hard every day to bring safe, reliable power to nearly one million Central Texans. Whether you’re kicking off a career as a lineworker, building on your experience as an engineer, or want to propel PEC into the future as part of our Executive Team, you’ll have an important role to play in the cooperative’s success – something we can only achieve together.
Company History
We’re proud to be the cooperative that illuminated the Texas Hill Country more than 80 years ago. Everything we do, we do with pride and care for the communities we serve. From the lineworkers who keep the lights on, to the member relations agents who answer the phones and lend a helping hand, PEC employees are proud to carry on the legacy that a young Lyndon B. Johnson started so many years ago.
Benefits
We believe our cooperative is extraordinary because we have exceptional employees. PEC is among the elite 1% of companies nationwide that sets its wage scale midpoint to 75% or higher. In other words, the midpoint of our wage scale is targeted to pay higher than 75% of other organizations who compete for employees with similar skills and expertise.
PEC matches 401(k) contributions at 10% – nearly three times the national average! According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 10% of employers provide a contribution of 6% or greater. You deserve a secure future, and PEC goes above and beyond in helping our employees plan for life after work.
At a time when many companies are cutting benefits, PEC remains a strong supporter of continuing education. PEC will reimburse up to $5,250 per year for tuition, textbooks, and certification fees or application costs. Plus, PEC offers a variety of training options that help build skills and grow careers.
