Are you an experienced professional with an interest in public utility regulation?
The Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) currently has the following job openings. These positions will be located at Ten Franklin Square, New Britain, CT, with an opportunity for a hybrid teleworking arrangement.
Supervisor of Technical Analysis
Position Highlights
PURA is seeking a skilled energy and utilities professional to work within the Office of Education, Outreach and Enforcement. The Office of Education, Outreach and Enforcement plays a unique and important role within the Authority, as the "ex parte" rules that apply to PURA's decisional staff do not apply to EOE, meaning ratepayers and other parties may pose questions and concerns to the office and EOE can appear before the Authority as a party on formal investigations. This means you’ll play a crucial role on upcoming assignments associated with PURA's implementation of its Equitable Modern Grid Initiative including, but not limited to, engagement in utility rate cases, enhancing customer service experiences for ratepayers and stakeholders, examining electric utility interconnection procedures, and conducting inspections, audits, and investigations across regulated electric, gas, water, and telecommunications sectors.
Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a key point of contact, liaison, and subject matter expert for stakeholders, ensuring alignment with EOE’s mission and priorities.
- Program Implementation and Oversight: Play a critical role associated with PURA's Equitable Modern Grid Initiative and Public Act 23-102, including utility rate cases, electric utility interconnection procedures, and conducting inspections, audits, and investigations across regulated utilities.
- Staff Management and Oversight: Report to the Director of EOE and manage the scheduling, assignment, and review of work across the three EOE units: Education and Outreach, Licensing and Certification, and Mediation and Enforcement.
- Administrative and Policy Support: Assist with establishing and maintaining office policies, oversee daily administrative management, and focus on consumer assistance outreach, compliance, licensing, and enforcement actions.
The position will be hybrid with in-office attendance located at Ten Franklin Square, New Britain, CT, and are 40 hours per week, Monday-Friday, between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm.
