How we hire

At PSE we’re always looking for new talent that has a unique perspective and can bring valuable ideas to the team.  We look forward to the possibility of you helping us drive the mission to deliver safe, reliable energy at an affordable price. 

We have been listening to your feedback and have worked to make the hiring process a better experience for you as a candidate.  When you apply for a job, your application materials are instantly shared with the hiring team and manager for the position. 

We take the time to carefully consider all applications to ensure you are the right match for the role.  After assessing the qualifications of those who have applied, a member of the PSE team may contact you by your preferred notification preference (i.e., email or call) for an assessment, phone interview, and/or a face-to-face interview.  Most of our interviews are conducted by an interview selection panel, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet 3-5 members of the PSE team.  If you are selected for the position, you will hear from the Recruiter with information to offer details.

We are committed to a fair and equitable hiring process.  If for any reason you are not selected for the role, you will be notified directly.

We are honored by your interest in joining PSE and look forward to your ideas and contributions!
