Department Overview

The Clean Energy Transportation (CET) group is dedicated to accelerating clean vehicle adoption in California and has an ambitious goal of electrifying 3 million vehicles by 2030. CET manages a $0.5B portfolio of transportation electrification (TE) programs to address one of the largest contributors to climate change. We serve PG&E’s customers by deploying electric vehicle programs to increase access to charging infrastructure and reduce total cost of electric vehicle ownership, while educating our customers and pursuing innovative strategies to unlock additional benefits to EV drivers and the grid.

 

Our team values safety, quality, and collaboration. We strive for excellence, build trusted relationships, and approach challenges with intellectual curiosity and a sense of urgency. We are seeking passionate and thoughtful individuals who want to make a meaningful impact in advancing clean energy transportation.

 

Position Summary

The CET team is looking for a seasoned Program Manager to lead our Panel & Flexible Electrification Support program, an expansion of the Residential Charging Solutions program. This program aims to make it easier for income-qualified customers to charge their EVs at home. The existing Residential Charging Solutions program offers rebates for charging technology that avoids panel upgrades, and the Panel & Flexible Electrification Support expansion will add incentives for panel upgrades and circuit extensions. In addition, the expansion will add a “point-of-sale” option for distributing incentives through a network of qualified contractors and provide education to both customers and contractors on flexible electrification options. The successful candidate will also ensure that the key objectives of PG&E’s residential electrification customer experience are integrated into the design and execution of this program.

 

Key responsibilities:

• • Oversee all aspects of the program development and implementation, including developing workflows, creating timelines, managing budgets, tracking metrics and progress toward program goals
  • Engage and collaborate with key internal and external stakeholders
  • Manage contracts to meet goals and stay on budget
  • Handle regulatory compliance and reporting, including regulatory reporting to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) or the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
  • Make recommendations and develop processes to ensure a positive customer experience

 

The ideal candidate has a strong background in program and project management within regulated environments (e.g. CPUC, CARB), excels at problem solving, and can communicate complex technical information effectively to diverse audiences.

 

As this program focuses on overcoming barriers to EV adoption, the candidate should be eager to tackle undefined challenges, collaborate effectively, and apply curiosity and data driven methods to program development.

 

Experience with transportation electrification, electric vehicles, EVSE installation and construction projects is highly preferred.

 

This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and your assigned work location based on business need. The preferred work location is Oakland, CA. The assigned work location will be within the PG&E Service Territory.

The actual salary paid to an individual will be based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to, specific skills, education, licenses or certifications, experience, market value, geographic location, and internal equity.
