Department Overview

Electric Transmission & Distributionensures the delivery of clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy to nearly 16 million people in Northern and Central California.The Electric Transmission & Distribution Team is responsible for ensuring the electric grid's reliability and resiliency through the ongoing maintenance and operations of PG&E's 100,000 miles of distribution lines and over 18,000 miles of Transmission lines. Coworkers in Electric Transmission & Distribution actively engage in the Lean Methodology through the use of visual management in operating reviews to cross-functionally identify and solve problems, and create standard work. By working together as One Electric. One Team. We are delivering for our hometowns. Electric Transmission & Distribution is comprised of approximately 6,500 coworkers.

Position Summary

The Applied Technology Services (ATS) staffprovidesadvanced analytical, modeling, testing, and risk assessment services across multiple disciplines to support company organizations in identifying, quantifying, and addressing complex operational and asset-related risks. The team develops and applies statistical, probabilistic, and machine learning-based approaches to evaluate system performance, asset condition, degradation trends, and probability of failure, enabling data-driven decision making for reliability, resilience, and lifecycle management.

Staff integrate and analyze diverse data sources to develop predictive models, risk metrics, and analytical tools that support asset strategy, maintenance planning, investment prioritization, and operational decision making. Services include asset health assessments, reliability and risk evaluations, failure investigations, scenario analyses, and development of quantitative methodologies for complex infrastructure systems, including transmission and distribution assets, distributed energy resources, and generation facilities.

The team provides technical consultation and analytical insights to internal clients, helping organizations proactively manage risk and improve asset performance through the application of advanced modeling techniques, data analytics, and industry best practices. Staff collaborate with business and technical stakeholders to develop analytical solutions, support project proposals, and communicate complex model results and risk insights to decision makers. Incumbents maintain knowledge of and adhere to all company and regulatory safety, quality, and governance requirements.

This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and your assigned work location based on business need.

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