Looking to join a motivated, professional team in one of the most beautiful, outdoor-centered parts of the country?

Jefferson County PUD’s service territory is located on the northeast corner of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Nestled between the snowy peaks of the Olympic National Park and the deep saltwater of the Salish Sea, Jefferson County’s abundant shoreline, temperate climate and evergreen forests make it a beautiful place to work, live, and recreate.

Jefferson County has a renowned cultural scene, with multiple arts festivals and numerous food and drink venues. It is also home to a large community of wooden boat builders, sailors, and enthusiasts. With a total population of 30,000, there is plenty of opportunity to engage with community or enjoy a quiet walk on the beach or in the woods.
