    Default job background
    Description

    Under limited supervision, at the supervisory or technical expert level, performs at the advanced level, in supervising, such as planning, directing, and evaluating, the activities of a moderate size group of Utilities Analysts engaged in the examination of the financial books and records of various utilities requesting a rate change before the Public Service Commission, subject to ex parte contact rules of the Commission, or serves directly and not subject to ex parte contact rules as a technical expert, advising the Commission on a variety of highly technical regulatory issues, including new, emerging issues.

    The incumbent performing in the advisory capacity to the Commission is required to work independently, and with a minimum of direct supervision, formulate work plans on new issues as they arise.

    May be required to travel both in-state and out-of state. Performs related work as required.


    Distinguishing Characteristics:


    The Utilities Analyst 4 will be assigned full responsibility for the most complex cases and be expected to fully carry out the duties necessary to protect the interest of all ratepayers.

    The Utilities Analyst 4 will follow one of two career paths, case processing staff or Commission advisory staff: 1) The incumbent involved in case processing supervises Utilities Analyst working on various types of cases; advises utilities analysts on proper work plans and/or procedures, recommends procedures to be followed in analyzing appropriate data related to new, unusual or unexpected issues arising in a case, and/or assumes responsibility for a particular area of the case previously assigned to another analyst, and is subject to ex parte contact rules; 2) The incumbent serving in an advisory capacity to the Commission and not subject to ex parte contact rules, provides technical expert advice and formulates independent recommendations on policy and matters before the Commission.

    Work at this level requires a great degree of knowledge, skill and ability in order to provide original research and advisory services on highly complex and technical issues.

    The advisory role also requires the incumbent to draw upon own expertise in analysis of issues, without the benefit of a large advisory unit or consultation with other Utilities Analysts.
