Chief Financial Officer - Duck River Electric Membership Corporation : Job Details

Mountain Parks Electric is a member-owned electric cooperative that serves some of the most majestic Rocky Mountain terrain imaginable. Less than 90 miles west of Denver across the Continental Divide, MPE employees are proud to call this high-country mecca home. Some prefer the winters, with bluebird days and countless ways to experience the snow – world-class downhill and cross-country skiing, thousands of miles of trails for snowmobiling or snowshoeing, ice fishing, and more. Others of us prefer the mild temperatures of the other seasons to explore Rocky Mountain National Park and the countless other hiking trails, Colorado River rapids (blue ribbon fishing and world-class rafting), downhill mountain biking, camping, big game hunting…endless opportunities!

At MPE, the balance of work and life is a key tenet of our culture. Staff enjoy three-day weekends (as do the area schools) with a 4/10 work week. MPE offers an excellent benefit package including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, LTD, 401k, retirement security defined benefit plan, HSA employer contributions, and paid time off programs. The generous benefits package offered at MPE includes an annual Work Life Balance bonus for each employee to use toward any of their favorite MPE-area activities.

As a member-focused cooperative, MPE also encourages employees to engage in the community. One way is through Community Activity Time (CAT), in which employees volunteer or participate in MPE-sponsored functions for up to three paid hours each month.

MPE is a forward-thinking co-op at the forefront of an evolving industry. Our recent progress includes being awarded more than $100 million over 20 years from the USDA Rural Utilities Services Empowering Rural America (New ERA) program and transitioning away from the traditional generation and transmission power supply model and executing a new 20-year fixed price power supply contract with Guzman Energy. A successful CFO at Mountain Parks Electric will play an integral role in both bringing the funding from New ERA back to MPE and helping lead MPE through this exciting power supply transition to energy independence for MPE!
