  • Liaise with contractors, consultants, agencies, and internal teams.
  • Provide construction management and field inspections.
  • Contribute to rate case filings, annual capital budgets, and technical reports.

  • Work Model and On-Site Requirements :

  • On-Site in one of the four listed California offices (San Jose, Bakersfield, Chico, or Torrance)
  • Potential hybrid schedule for the right candidate
  • Standard 9 / 80 work schedule (80 hours over 9 workdays, with every other Friday off).
