ERM leads the implementation and continuous improvement of PG&E's risk decision framework, enabling data-driven decision-making across the organization.

The team partners across the Electric Organization to support all aspects of transmission and distribution operations, including system planning, engineering, maintenance, construction, asset management, business planning, emergency response, and system restoration. Through these partnerships, ERM helps ensure that risk considerations are incorporated into strategic, operational, investment, and regulatory decisions.

This role develops and applies quantitative risk methodologies to evaluate electric system risks, assess risk mitigation effectiveness, and support investment planning decisions.

The successful candidate will play a key role in advancing PG&E's transition to more granular and integrated risk-based evaluation frameworks that align risk modeling approaches across the enterprise. This position will conduct complex analyses, develop executive-level reporting, support regulatory filings and data requests, and collaborate with stakeholders across multiple organizations to monitor operational and enterprise risks.
