Our commitments, which include safety, integrity, customer focus, and diversity & inclusion, are the fabric of our culture and help drive the success of our business. We are fortunate to have an outstanding workforce of diverse and highly skilled talent who move us forward in our operational excellence journey. PSEG has more than 12,000 employees who are dedicated to the communities we serve and embody our vision: People providing Safe, Reliable, Economic and Greener Energy.
This position is responsible for developing and implementing strategic outreach and communication plans to advocate and gain support for critical Enterprise priorities, legislative and regulatory proposals, and utility projects to a wide range of external audiences. Primary audiences include local, county and select state elected officials as needed, in addition to key business leaders, policymakers, and influential members of the community. The position often requires engagement of corporate executive officers on matters of critical importance to the company and entails advising executives on the external implications and cost/benefits of decisions. The position primarily serves PSE&G, but will also serve PSEG Power and all Enterprise lines of business as the corporate representative in the over 300 towns and 11 counties. The position will also serve as a secondary representative in state legislative districts and congressional districts, as requested by State Government Affairs and Federal Affairs respectively. Responsibilities entail leading internal teams from Enterprise organizations to develop plans and strategies that achieve milestones and goals while minimizing the disruptive impacts in communities.
Examples include DP&C transmission projects, Gas System Modernization Program, environmental upgrades to generating stations, and renewable energy installations in communities. The position also requires the ability to educate and advocate with stakeholders on the local level regarding corporate initiatives.

PSEG has more than 12,000 employees who are dedicated to the communities we serve and embody our vision: People providing Safe, Reliable, Economic and Greener Energy.
This position is responsible for developing and implementing strategic outreach and communication plans to advocate and gain support for critical Enterprise priorities, legislative and regulatory proposals, and utility projects to a wide range of external audiences. Primary audiences include local, county and select state elected officials as needed, in addition to key business leaders, policymakers, and influential members of the community. The position often requires engagement of corporate executive officers on matters of critical importance to the company and entails advising executives on the external implications and cost/benefits of decisions. The position primarily serves PSE&G, but will also serve PSEG Power and all Enterprise lines of business as the corporate representative in the over 300 towns and 11 counties. The position will also serve as a secondary representative in state legislative districts and congressional districts, as requested by State Government Affairs and Federal Affairs respectively. Responsibilities entail leading internal teams from Enterprise organizations to develop plans and strategies that achieve milestones and goals while minimizing the disruptive impacts in communities.
Examples include DP&C transmission projects, Gas System Modernization Program, environmental upgrades to generating stations, and renewable energy installations in communities.
