As a public power utility, Nebraska Public Power District’s (NPPD) mission is to make sure you have power when you need it. But, it’s also so much more. It’s to empower lives, strengthen communities and ultimately, create a better future for all. With more than 2,000 dedicated teammates spread across the state, NPPD has built a culture centered around purpose and people. For professionals seeking more than a paycheck, particularly those who value impact, community and growth, NPPD stands out as one of the state’s most attractive employers.
At the heart of everything we do is our mission: “Safely generate and deliver reliable, low-cost, sustainable energy and related services, while providing outstanding customer service.” This focus resonates deeply with our team, fueling pride and commitment in daily work.
Our vision? It’s to be a premier energy provider bringing the best of public power to Nebraskans, powering everyday life and a brighter future. NPPD is committed to progress, and we want team members who are inspired to lead that charge.
Our values include safety, customer focus, employees and teamwork, environmental stewardship, integrity, excellence, public service and diversity and inclusion. But, they aren’t just wall posters. They are guiding principles, reflected in how we serve customers and support one another.
NPPD isn’t just a place to work. It’s a place to belong. It's common for our teammates to celebrate 10, 20, or even 30+ year anniversaries here. That kind of longevity is no accident. It’s the result of a deeply connected culture where people care about the positive impact they can have with their colleagues, customers and communities.
Whether you’re just starting your career or a seasoned professional, living in Nebraska or outside our state lines, you’ll find a team here that values your contributions and wants to see you grow.
Nebraskan values are engrained in us. We live in the communities we serve, and our neighbors are our customers. That connection fosters a sense of purpose and responsibility that permeates our organization. Just as we show up for work each morning, we also show up for each other.
From lineworkers and engineers to graphic designers, IT specialists, and finance professionals, NPPD offers a wide range of careers for individuals with diverse skills and backgrounds. We welcome high school graduates, college-educated professionals, military veterans, and those with technical training or associate degrees.
We’re also big believers in continuous learning. NPPD offers extensive opportunities for personal and professional development. This includes on-the-job training, leadership programs, and tuition support. Growth is possible, and it’s also encouraged.
At NPPD, we offer more than a job. We offer a career built around balance, stability and security. Our compensation package is one of the best in the region:
As a public power utility, NPPD serves all or parts of 84 of Nebraska’s 93 counties. That gives our team a chance to make a statewide impact while living in communities that feel like home. From Scottsbluff to Plattsmouth, Ainsworth to McCook, our people power our purpose.
We’re proud to be at the forefront of Nebraska’s energy innovation. With a generation mix that already includes coal, solar, hydro, natural gas, wind and nuclear – the state’s largest source of emission-free electricity – NPPD consistently generates electricity that is more than 50% carbon-free annually for our Nebraska customers. With our emPOWERING Nebraska’s Tomorrow program, our new generation facilities will complement our existing fleet. Investments in our infrastructure will strengthen our ability to be the affordable, reliable, resilient provider Nebraskans have come to know and trust.
The energy sector is one of the fastest-growing job markets in the U.S. At NPPD, you’ll be part of something bigger: a company that’s mission-driven, community-focused and employee-centered.
