Department Overview

The Electric Compliance Assurance department is part of the Electric Risk & Compliance organization, where together we will embed compliance and risk in all that we do and achieve regulatory outcomes that support the business’ needs. The work of this department is critical in our efforts to find compliance challenges and identify areas of risk so that we can fix them. The main functions of this department are identifying areas of compliance risk and opportunities to mitigate those risks, including through incident reporting and investigations, overseeing Electric Operations and Power Generation Corrective Action Program (CAP), and validating the controls on the organization.

PG&E is seeking an experienced business professional to be a member of the Electric Compliance Assurance Team as an Incident Investigator. The Investigator will be responsible for investigating incidents or items of interest. The investigations could be of interest to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), or other areas of compliance risk to determine the cause and any corrective or preventive measures to mitigate reoccurrence. Tasks of this team may include some of the following, or similar tasks:

• Validating policy implications pertaining to FERC and Electric Delivery
• Partnering with Functional Area Compliance Teams on risk mitigation strategies impacting FERC compliance
• Investigating potential self-reports to FERC Office of Enforcement
• Developing Investigation Forms for FERC Compliance
• Prepare and respond to FERC data requests

This role will have a high level of visibility with PG&E leadership and will support one or many aspects of Compliance Assurance’s scope. A strong applicant will be an organized, motivated, curious, a consensus builder, and seeks to understand the “bigger picture”. Location of this position is flexible within PG&E service territory and will requires travel to incident sites and other locations throughout PG&E’s service territory (approximately 10-20% of the time) to coordinate investigations, meetings, and site visits. This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and assigned office based on business needs.

The selected candidate must live within PG&E’s service territory.

PG&E is providing the salary range that the company in good faith believes it might pay for this position at the time of the job posting. This compensation range is specific to the locality of the job. 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. Although we estimate the successful candidate hired into this role will be placed towards the middle or entry point of the range, the decision will be made on a case-by-case basis related to these factors.​

A reasonable salary range is:

Minimum Base Salary (Bay Area) $105,000.00

Mid Base Salary (Bay Area) $137,000.00

Maximum Base Salary (Bay Area) $169,000.00
