Utility companies have a long-established tradition of hiring young adults for summer jobs beyond the need for temp jobs. This is in part due to the fact that the utilities own extensive infrastructure and sites that require maintenance best done in the summer.

Moreover, Reykjavík Energy believes that employing young adults in summer positions, offers them valuable insights and knowledge about its operations, thereby fostering their interest in pursuing future employment opportunities with the company.

RE and its subsidiaries buy a substantial amount of services from large companies, such as engineering firms and building contractors. Some employees, from both large and small contractors, work for the most part for RE or one of its subsidiaries. That segment of employees has not been defined, and Reykjavík Energy has no numerical data on its composition.
