Department Overview

Help us change the electric utility industry from the inside! Join a small, high-performing team within Pacific Gas & Electric Company that is working on a portfolio of exciting and innovative projects to transform the electric grid into a smarter grid. The Grid Innovation team is charting the future of the utility and the energy industry as part of the Engineering, Planning & Strategy division of PG&E.

 

Grid Innovation evaluates and demonstrates emerging technologies, concepts and processes that PG&E will need to design and operate the resilient energy system of the future. Toward that end, the team works collaboratively with diverse stakeholders across the enterprise to design, build and test product strategies, roadmaps and implementation plans for innovation. The current focus of the Grid Innovation team is to build and advance products and processes to operationalize Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) including battery energy storage (BES), Solar PV, microgrids and Remote Grid Solutions.

 

Position Summary

The Microgrid Strategy and Implementation (MSI) Team is seeking a detail-oriented candidate who embraces curiosity, is driven to continuously learn and grow, and is nimble enough to take on whatever challenges may come our way.  While the day-to-day work may change, the goal is always the same: do whatever is necessary to grow PG&E’s best in class portfolio of microgrid offerings. 

 

The responsibilities of this role can be divided into two primary buckets:

 

MIP Program Management: This role will partner with the Microgrid Incentive Program Manager (MIP PM) to ensure best in class program management.  Under the guidance of the MIP PM, the successful candidate will execute program administration tasks including financial management and reporting, program development, and leading various program implementation workstreams. 

 

Ad Hoc Tasks: Microgrids touch on nearly every aspect of PG&E’s business, thus leading to an exceptionally diverse portfolio of work for the MSI team.  At the direction of the MSI Sr. Manager, this role will support and/or lead various workstreams that come our way.  Executing such work will typically involve learning aspects of a subject area, process, or skill necessary to understand the workstream/challenge, developing a preferred plan of action, engaging stakeholders and business partners as necessary, and seeing the task through to completion. 

 

We are at the forefront of the microgrid and community resiliency space, creating new policies, programs, standards, and processes, often from whole cloth.  This requires innovative and original thinking.  It requires a learning mindset that embraces challenge.  The ideal candi
