Our employees are committed to the company's foundational values: integrity, excellence, teamwork, environmental stewardship, and community commitment.

Hawaiian Electric's Human Resources Rotational Internship Program offers students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across multiple Human Resources disciplines while contributing to meaningful projects that support our employees and business objectives.
