In today’s competitive and ever-changing business environment the ability to learn quickly and perform effectively is more important than ever before. The ability to identify talented individuals with these skills is critical to ensuring the reliable electrical service to our 320,000 customers.   One way that The United Illuminating Company has found to identify and assess the abilities and skills needed for certain jobs is through pre-employment testing.

Our pre-employment tests have been shown to be job-related, fair, objective and a consistent means to help identify qualified candidates for these jobs. The tests and associated procedures are administered consistently for all candidates. We partner with the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) for several of our employment tests.

Types of Test:

Construction and Skilled Trades
Customer Service Representative
SASS
Clerical Aptitude Test
Key Board Skills
System Operator Power Dispatching Test
