CET leads a ~$0.5B portfolio of transportation electrification (TE) programs to increase the adoption of clean vehicles in California as we work to address one of the largest contributors to climate change – and we need a motivated, organized strategic thinker to help us determine how to expand this portfolio. We serve PG&E’s customers by deploying electric vehicle programs to increase access to charging infrastructure, reduce total cost of electric vehicle ownership, educating our customers and pursuing innovative R&D on the future of transportation electrification, focused on vehicle-grid-integration.

We focus on safety and quality, invest in our team’s success, solve problems, and strive to be better, work as an integrated team, and build trusted relationships. We collaborate and are intellectually curious. We are looking to collaborate with passionate, thoughtful people who want to make a real impact.

Position Summary

The CET team is looking for a highly skilled Program Manager to lead our Affordable Public Charging Program which aims to provide subsidized public EV charging through preloaded debit cards to income-qualified EV customers. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in increasing EV charging across PG&E’s services area. This will require an ability to track and manage all budget and regulatory requirements, provide direct support to customers, and creatively problem solve. It will also require collaboration with other internal teams and engaging with external parties, like investor-owned utilities (IOUs).

Specific areas of responsibility for this role will include:

• Finalizing program design, launching the program and handling all details of implementation.
• Overseeing the day-to-day implementation of the program including the technical elements, regulatory requirements, customer and external stakeholder engagement, budget monitoring, and metrics reporting.

• Managing contracts to confirm goals are met and the program stays within budget.

In addition to program management, specific areas of regulatory compliance include reporting to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) or the California Air Resources Board (CARB.)

The successful candidate will have a strong background in program, product and/or project management with experience operating in a regulated environment under the jurisdiction of the CPUC or CARB, identifying and collaborating with key internal and external stakeholders to formulate ideas, develop well-reasoned solutions, and resolve issues will be essential to the position. The candidate will have excellent critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills while demonstrating knowledge of and attention to details. Experience with transportation electrification, electric vehicles, EVSE installation and construction projects is highly recommended.

This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and your assigned work location based on business need. The preferred work location is Oakland, CA. The assigned work location will be within the PG&E Service Territory.
