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.

Learns and participates in proactive enhancements, process improvements, issue remediation and execution of the Full Network Model build and deployment processes.
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.
Assists and supports troubleshooting technical problems that result from data communications, equipment, or systems failures.
Learns to provide 24x7 technical support to ISO Real-Time Operations and other departments on EMS, PI & Synchro-Phasor.

This is an entry-level position, no experience required.
Knowledge of Energy Management System operations and principles, California power generation and transmission networks and structure, and network modeling desired.
Demonstrates the ability to work effectively in a team environment as a facilitator and team member.
Strong analytical skills are required, including the ability to effectively communicate complex technical materials and concepts in a non-technical manner.

Strong interpersonal, communication, and writing skills required.
Must be able to handle a dynamic and changing work environment, and work independently.
Strong computer skills in Microsoft Office Suite.
Self-motivated, problem solving skills and the ability to influence others without direct authority.
