Department Overview
The Electric Compliance Assurance department is part of the Electric Risk & Compliance organization, where together we will embed compliance and risk in all that we do and achieve regulatory outcomes that support the business’ needs. The work of this department is critical in our efforts to find compliance challenges and identify areas of risk so that we can fix them. The main functions of this new department are identifying areas of compliance risk and opportunities to mitigate those risks, including through incident reporting and investigations, overseeing Electric Operations and Power Generation Corrective Action Program (CAP), and validating the controls on the organization.
Position Summary
As the Manager of the Corrective Action Program, you lead the Corrective Action Program (CAP). This program is part of a series of programs that work together to reduce risk, address root causes, and prevent serious incidents while strengthening internal accountability through focused reviews of high-impact cases. With a focus of operational risk, investigative discipline, and cross-functional leadership, you ensure serious incidents or issues are prioritized appropriately and bring visibility to leadership as appropriate to ensure they are completed timely—ensuring that PG&E not only meets regulatory expectations, but continues to protect its people, the public, and the communities it serves.
