Veterans and EWEB
The Eugene Water & Electric Board encourages qualified veterans to apply for positions. As a public employer, the Oregon Veterans’ Preference in Public Employment Law requires EWEB to give preference for eligible veterans. To be eligible for preference under the law, veterans must identify as covered veterans and submit supporting documentation as outlined in the implementing regulations. When applying for positions, it is important for all applicants to clearly demonstrate that they meet minimum and special qualifications. It is important for veterans to highlight transferable skills from their military or other experience that might enhance their candidacy.
The opportunity to self-identify as a veteran occurs during the online application process. Before an application is submitted for an open position, the candidate is given an opportunity to identify as a veteran and submit supporting documentation.
EWEB offers a Veterans Employees Resource Group to celebrate and support our veteran employees.
For more information about applying as a veteran, please contact Human Resources at RecruitingTeam@EWEB.org.

It takes skilled, dedicated individuals to power our community—from restoring power after natural disasters to modernizing the grid and planning how to meet future electricity needs.

Protect Public Health
Clean water is vital to public health, safety and the economy. We are hard at work making sure safe, reliable water continues to flow even as critical infrastructure ages and new challenges arise. In addition to programs aimed at protecting water at the source, we are renovating our filtration plant, replacing water mains, rebuilding water storage facilities, improving water pump stations, developing neighborhood emergency water stations and planning for alternative water sources.
When you work for a water utility, you enjoy more than a good, stable job. You get the satisfaction of benefiting your community to ensure a good quality of life for generations to come. Learn more about careers in the water industry.
