About the role

We safeguard the economy and well-being of 30 million Californians by operating the grid reliably 24/7.
The California ISO's function is often compared to that of air traffic controllers.
It would be grossly unfair for air traffic controllers to represent one airline and profit from allowing that company's planes to go through before others.

Engages with company-wide business units to provide network design solutions for business requirements, and works to ensure the highest level of associated systems operations, reliability and security.
Leads vendor management activities to ensure continued reliability, availability, and security of company's telecommunications and data network infrastructure.
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) manages the flow of electricity across the high-voltage, long-distance power lines that make up 80 percent of California's power grid.
As the impartial grid operator, the California ISO opens access to the wholesale power market that is designed to diversify resources and lower prices.
In the same way, the California ISO operates independently-managing the electron traffic on a power grid we do not own-making sure electricity is safely delivered to utilities and consumers on time and reliably.

Must be self-starting and willing and able to work independently in a dynamic corporate organization under pressure of tight deadlines and aggressive expectations.

Good attitude, communication and interpersonal skills.
