Helpful Tips

  • To request a copy of your test qualification letter, contact PG&E’s HR Testing Department at hrtestinghotline@pge.com. Include your legal first and last name, phone number and last 4 of your social security number.
  • You cannot sign up for testing. Testing opportunities are offered on an as needed basis. PG&E’s Hiring Hall Administration Team will work and communicate with the respective union to determine if there is a business need to invite applicants to test.
  • PG&E’s Hiring Hall Administration Team cannot provide your placement status on the union’s list or tell you if you are close to being dispatched. Contact the respective union directly for this information.
  • Hiring Hall employment does not guarantee regular status employment. You must apply as an external candidate to any position.
  • Hiring Hall employees can stay onboard no longer than 12 months. Anything over 12 months requires approval by PG&E and by the respective union.
