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.

Electric utility industry experience including emphasis in power system planning or operation.
Familiarity with California Electric System or other portions of the WECC system.
