Please note the Transmission Services Consultant (6544) & the Senior Transmission Services Specialist (6543) are linked job postings for one opening.

Join PSE's Transmission Services Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) Administration team as a Senior Transmission Services Specialist and take on a leadership role in ensuring reliable electricity transmission across the Pacific Northwest. In this senior-level position, you'll oversee all phases of transmission and generator interconnection requests in alignment with PSE's OATT, handling moderately complex customer applications to meet regulatory deadlines and ensure compliance requirements are satisfied.

As a seasoned professional, you'll provide support in researching, planning, developing and implementing PSE's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) transmission and OATT compliance programs to ensure the company meets all regulatory requirements. Your expertise will be instrumental in mentoring teammates, developing comprehensive training programs, and analyzing federal regulatory policy to provide strategic advice to internal departments based on that analysis.

This strategic role combines deep regulatory expertise with leadership responsibilities as you monitor and interpret applicable regulations, orders, and rules to provide input into federal and state rule making proceedings. You'll work with management, developing complete and executable plans while communicating complex regulatory proposals across the organization and aligning them with company objectives. Your advanced problem-solving skills will be essential as you support internal and external audits, implement corrective solutions, and manage multiple high-priority projects simultaneously.
