CAP Employee Benefits

Our CAP employees consistently state that having access to Central Arizona Project’s top benefits is one of the top two reasons they chose to spend their careers with us. The other top reason was working with good people. CAP’s annual employee turnover rate is significantly lower than industry standard.
