Job Description

ENERGY FOR WHAT’S AHEAD
Are you looking to make a difference in your career? We’re working on smarter grids, cleaner energy and tools to help people manage energy more efficiently.
About Customer & Operational Services:
Southern California Edison’s (SCE’s) Customer Service Organizational Unit (CS) shares the responsibility to safely deliver reliable, affordable electricity to our customers. We support this effort by working to meet customer expectations. Customer Service is dedicated to operational excellence and innovative thinking through our workforce in our call center, field operations, billing and payment center, outage and demand-side management and other service offerings.
The job is…
Recent policy changes and company objectives have resulted in the need for transformational change of the utility business model in California. In the past few years, the focus on GHG emissions reductions and environmental health has resulted in significant requirements on the California IOUs to modernize the grid and its associated processes to incorporate significant amounts of Transportation Electrification opportunities.
We have 10 years to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40%. However, we have a longer-term goal of 80% reduction by 2050. Our mission is to find a way to get there in a way that is affordable, sustainable, good for the economy and good for our customers. We need new ideas, new partnerships, new infrastructure, and a lot of support from industries across our economy and the government to find practical alternatives.

Meeting these goals will require a new responsibility in the newly formed eMobility organization to develop new and improved objectives and plans with intra-department management collaboration which will have significant impact to the company.

  • Analyze, interpret, and present data on key business developments, resources, and operational activities to executive leadership, respond to CPUC data requests, and collaborate on the development of future SCE Transportation Electrification filings.
