Hydroelectric Production Managers

Explore the hydropower field by reading news and publications offered on the Web sites of professional associations, such as the National Hydropower Association (https://www.hydro.org/waterpower) and the International Hydropower Association (https://www.hydropower.org). The U.S. Energy Information Administration provides information on the various types of renewable energy, data about its usage in the United States, and other helpful resources at https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/renewable-sources.

Conduct an information interview with a hydroelectric production manager to learn more about the job and how to get started in the field. Ask your school's career services office for help setting up an interview and be sure to prepare a list of questions. Perhaps you could even job-shadow a hydroelectric production manager to learn even more about the field.
