Employment Testing

Certain positions may require applicants to pass aptitude and skill tests. Our pre-employment tests have been shown to be job related, fair, objective, and consistent to help identify qualified applicants for jobs at Hawaiian Electric. Tests and associated procedures are administered consistently for all applicants.

We partner with Edison Electric Institute (EEI) for several of our employment tests including:

• Technical Occupations Selection System (TECH)
• Construction and Skilled Trades Selection System (CAST)
• Power Plant Maintenance Positions Selection System (MASS)
• Plant Operator Selection System (POSS)
• Support and Administration Selection System - BCAB (SASS)
• Customer Service Representative (CSR)

For more information on the EEI employment tests, testing tips, and/or practice tests, please visit EEI's website. Being prepared to take a test is an important part of the testing process and may improve your chances of qualifying on the test. However, there is no guarantee that by reading the brochures and the test preparation guides you will qualify.
