Utilities VP Jobs in California

A Utilities Vice President (VP) plays a crucial role in the utilities industry as they are responsible for overseeing all aspects of utility operations, including strategic planning, project management, budgeting, and regulatory compliance. They implement changes in policies and procedures to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in all utility operations, and they also develop and execute strategies to meet the organization's financial and operational goals. Additionally, they collaborate with other executives to make decisions on company-wide issues and they often represent the company in dealings with government agencies and other external entities.

These roles provide the necessary experience in managing utility operations, understanding regulatory compliance, and developing strategies. Essential skills and certifications for a Utilities VP include a deep knowledge of the utility industry and relevant regulations, strong leadership and decision-making abilities, excellent communication and negotiation skills, and a strong aptitude for financial and strategic planning. Importantly, a Bachelor's degree in a related field is typically required, and a Master's degree or an MBA is often preferred. Certifications such as the Certified Energy Manager (CEM) can also be beneficial.
