    Positions: SGA 5038, 5123 & 5160

    These positions are based in the PUC’s Policy Advisory Unit, which directly supports the Commissioners on the Colorado Public Utilities Commission and the Commission’s Administrative Law Judges (ALJs).  Advisors manage cases and assist the Commissioners and ALJs in reaching their decisions in formal proceedings, such as adjudicated cases and rulemakings. Advisors also occasionally assist the Commissioners and ALJs with research and analysis outside of formal proceedings, such as through hosting workshops and overseeing special projects.  Nearly all of the work completed by the Policy Advisory Unit is conducted within a privileged deliberative process that is distinct from all other members of the Commission’s staff.

    These positions make recommendations to Commissioners and ALJs in matters involving the provision of safe, reliable, economic, and equitable service to utility customers using data from diverse sources, including testimony, third-party reports, and industry-specific resources. The positions will focus on electric and/or gas industry proceedings, which make up the majority of the Commission’s adjudicated caseload. Cases may address topics as varied as beneficial electrification, gas infrastructure planning, review of utility rates and riders, demand-side management programs, energy affordability, environmental justice, electric resource planning, and other technology or policy issues which may at times be at the forefront of industry trends in Colorado and nationwide.

    The positions:
    • Analyze and evaluate filings by utilities and other stakeholders in formal Commission proceedings, including petitions, applications, advice letters, tariff filings, testimony, plans, reports, rules, statutes, and other requests or proposals;
    • Prepare recommendations on technical and policy issues for decision-makers, such as Commissioners, ALJs, and other senior Commission staff;
    • Prepare memorandums, information summaries, draft orders, and other materials to assist with decision-making in matters addressed by the Commissioners;
    • Assist Commissioners and ALJs to prepare for pre-hearing conferences and evidentiary hearings;
    • Present concise and informative explanations and recommendations to Commissioners in open meetings; and
    • Answer Commissioner inquiries based on expert knowledge of proceeding records, including assisting legal counsel regarding the technical, policy, and practical aspects of utility regulation.
    While specific tasks may vary, examples of work conducted by Advisors include:

    • Reviewing utility applications to identify where additional testimony could be requested, in response to Commissioner concerns.
    • Developing proposals for workshops or informational meetings which may involve identifying and coordinating with potential speakers.
    • Identifying key requests by utilities and other stakeholders and synthesizing information in the evidentiary record to make recommendations to Commissioners on how they should resolve those requests in their orders.
    • Developing the scope, providing preliminary research, and suggesting redlines for potential industry rule changes for discussion with Commissioners prior to a formal proceeding being initiated.
    MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS (MQs):
    • Graduation from an accredited college or university with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, public administration, public policy, political science, economics, finance, engineering, environmental studies, or in a field of study closely related to the work assignment;

    **Formal supervisory experience requires accountability for the quality and quantity of work of employees of the organization; responsibility for making decisions that affect the pay, status and/or tenure of subordinates; and authority in the hiring, performance planning and evaluation and progressive discipline processes.
     
    ***Senior authority experience involves leading program efforts as a pacesetter with a unique level of technical expertise in a field that is critical to success of the organization; and designing programs and systems to be used throughout the organization with external effects.
