  • Bachelor's degree in Economic, Engineering, Business, Public Policy, Environmental Sciences, or a related discipline.
  • A minimum of three (3) years of related power systems engineering, economics, policy development, natural gas systems engineering, environmental issues management, or regulatory standards experience required.


Appropriate level will be determined based upon experience and knowledge.

This is a unique opportunity to help modernize and secure the energy systems that power millions-if you're ready to lead with insight and shape what's next, we want to hear from you.
