Careers at GESA

Roles across field service, shop execution, controls, and operations and maintenance for power generation assets.

Execution depends on people.

Power University

GESA develops technicians through hands-on training tied directly to real-world turbine and generator work.

Training covers safety, tooling, procedures, and site execution so teams can operate effectively from day one.

Maine Maritime Academy Partnership

GESA is proud to announce a growing strategic partnership with Maine Maritime Academy (MMA) focused on developing the next generation of power generation professionals. Through this collaboration, GESA has supported the modernization of a dedicated campus lab to enhance hands-on learning and better prepare students for real-world careers, while also contributing to scholarship opportunities that invest directly in student success.

This partnership has already produced tangible results, including GESA's first full-time hire from MMA and the onboarding of three interns supporting both field service operations and business administration. Looking ahead, GESA and MMA are exploring expanded opportunities such as hosting GESA's internal Power University on campus, as well as potential program growth in Texas, including discussions around a presence in Corpus Christi and engagement with Texas A&M's maritime programs in Galveston.

Together, GESA and MMA are building a long-term pipeline that connects education, industry, and workforce development to strengthen the future of the power generation sector.
