Position Summary

PG&E's Building Electrification & Efficiency Strategy (BE&ES) team is tasked with iterating and executing on PG&E's strategy that recognizes building electrification as one of the least cost ways for PG&E to achieve a net zero energy system by 2040 - five years ahead of California's carbon neutrality goal. Achieving this goal will require a holistic plan for PG&E to electrify buildings that supports our customers, manages energy affordability, and meets our climate goals.

To execute on this strategy, the BE&ES team will focus on these strategic workstreams:

  • Build: reimagining how we build and plan for integrated electric and gas systems to support building electrification at scale,
  • Deploy: strategizing how we can enable and deploy interoperable pro-electrification technologies at scale,
  • Invest: investing in sustainable funding approaches that can benefit all customers to enable PG&E and California's vision of an equitable, affordable, decarbonized, and resilient state,
  • Serve:working to serve the electrification customer experience in a way that inspires joy and builds trust; and,
  • Create: creating a repeatable and scalable pathway to enable widespread electrification via partnerships and policy advocacy.

This role will primarily support the Build workstream, providing strategic analysis and coordination to support integration of PG&E's electric and gas planning processes to enable building electrification at scale. The successful candidate must be comfortable communicating with internal leaders, other IOUs, the CPUC, and other internal and external stakeholders, and possess the ability to support the development of the appropriate communication materials for any of those stakeholders.

This person must also be comfortable working both autonomously and in cross-functional teams. Finally, the ideal candidate must demonstrate high accountability, strong organizational and project management skills, and be energized and passionate about learning.

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.
