Job DescriptionJoin the Clean Energy Revolution

Become a Senior Manager of Rates & Regulatory Affairs at Southern California Edison (SCE) and build a better tomorrow. In this job, you'll be responsible for retail sales forecasting and marginal cost of service determination, both of which represent key inputs used in retail rate designs for all of SCE's nearly 5 million customers. You will directly and through the management of staff, ensure accurate forecasting and costs determination through existing methodologies or the development of new methodologies. In SCE's Phase 2 General Rate Case proceedings, you will either directly sponsor or manage a staff that directly sponsor testimony related to marginal cost, and where applicable, revenue allocation, and rate design. As part of this and other rate design proceedings, you will work with senior attorneys, managers, directors and VPs within SCE and various CPUC Energy Division staff on a routine basis. In addition to developing SCE testimony, your work team will be responsible for the reviewing other party's testimony; workshop coordination; and other general project coordination activity.

In addition to sales forecasts and marginal costs' determination, you will interact with senior internal/external personnel to drive issues and organize work vital to addressing critical strategic goals for SCE and other California utilities (e.g. Port of Long Beach Rate Application, Economic Development rates, Net Energy Metering avoided costs analyses, streetlight rate designs, Green Pricing alternative assessment, electric transportation rate developments-e.g. cold ironing/Alternate Fuel Vehicle-OIR proceeding) and a variety of other marginal costs driven rate projects and proceedings as they materialize. As a Senior Manager, your work will help power our planet, reduce carbon emissions and create cleaner air for everyone. Are you ready to take on the challenge to help us build the future?
