Job Description:

Join the Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) for an opportunity to shape Oregon’s evolving energy landscape! The PUC is at the forefront of the state’s efforts to transform our energy systems to provide clean, safe, reliable, and equitable utility services at affordable rates.

The PUC sets utility rates and terms of service through broad delegated legislative powers and must balance the interests and rights of multiple organizations and individuals representing divergent and conflicting business, consumer, and public interests. Investor-owned utilities currently receive approximately $5 billion in revenues annually from 2.4 million Oregon consumers. The PUC’s decisions on individual issues may be more than $100 million in annual revenues paid by Oregon consumers. The PUC receives no General or Lottery funds and instead is funded through a dedicated per-month fee on regulated natural gas, electric, telecommunication, and water utility bills.
