Description
Requisition ID #
Job Category: Engineering / Science; Information Technology; Maintenance / Construction / Operations
Job Level: Individual Contributor
Business Unit: Electric Engineering
Work Type: Hybrid
Job Location: Oakland
Team Summary
Help us change the electric utility industry from the inside Join a small, high-performing team within Pacific Gas & Electric Company that is scaling up distributed energy solutions to transform the electric grid from the edges inward.
The Remote Grid team's current mission is to stop catastrophic wildfires by deploying permanently islanded microgrids, Standalone Power Systems (SPS), with solar, batteries, and fuel-powered generation. Remote Grids deliver energy 24/7/365 to utility customers, as a full replacement for high-risk overhead or high-cost underground power lines. Remote Grids are also a cost-effective solution to address rebuild and reliability needs for rural, hard-to-reach customers.
The vision of the team is to validate and scale up innovative solutions SPS and similar solutions as standard offerings in the utility toolkit. Currently PG&E has a fleet of six operational SPS, grow to two dozen in the next two years. See the Remote Grid Program page here, as well as media coverage from the PG&E newsroom here.
Position Summary
The Expert-level Grid Innovation Engineer will be an electrical engineering thought leader who builds the knowledge base and product vision for new utility assets, collaboratively developing solutions to reduce costs and to increase safety, reliability, and decarbonization. Grid Innovation Engineers also serve as project engineers, taking full ownership of the technical execution of each project to PG&E standards, developing new standards and process documentation. They also support Operations and Maintenance (O&M) performance analytics and root cause investigation. A strong applicant will be an organized and diligent collaborator, proactively driving a broad range of technical and cross-functional tasks with PG&E technical subject matter experts, including four other Grid Innovation Engineers, and external Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) vendors.
This position is hybrid, primarily working from your remote office and PG&E's new Oakland General Office based on business need. In-person activities (a couple times a month) focus on synchronous collaboration, affinity building, ideation, or planning activities. The role will also require travel to sites throughout the PG&E service territory (one to two times a month).
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:
Core Responsibilities:
Solution development and engineering process development:
Project engineer for deployment of Remote Grids:
O&M support and asset management processes
