External Description:

We're one of the country's largest energy companies, with a vision of powering a future where people use less energy, and it's cleaner, safer and delivered more reliably than ever. We're also deeply connected to the communities we serve, with more than 13,000 employees working together to support our customers and make a difference every day.
Here, you'll have the stability and exciting opportunities that come with being a Fortune 500 company — along with a supportive, friendly work environment where your contributions are valued.

We know life isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is work. That's why we offer flexible work options depending on the role.
In support of this model, roles have been categorized into one of three work location categories:
1. Onsite – roles where employees are expected to be onsite daily.
2. Hybrid fixed – roles that are a mix of remote work and onsite work fixed days each week 
3. Hybrid flexible – roles that are a mix of remote work and onsite work, but the onsite requirements have greater flexibility. (i.e. 5-8 days a month vs. set days each week).

As an employee, if you are regularly scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week, you will have access to a wide range of comprehensive benefits from day one, designed to support your total well-being: medical, dental, vision, parental leave and family leave programs, behavioral health programs, 401(k) with company match, life insurance, tuition reimbursement, and generous paid time off.

More than 13,000 people already call PSEG their work home, taking pride in providing safe, reliable service to millions of customers. If you're looking for a place where you can build a meaningful career and help power and support our communities, we'd love to welcome you to the team.
