Senior Electric Division Manager
The Position
SVP is seeking a candidate who is a strategic thinker, enjoys challenges, and will work collaboratively with other areas of the organization and City to elevate the use of technology in all aspects of operating an electric utility. SVP is in a unique position among electric utilities in experiencing dramatic growth over the next 5-10 years, primarily due to energy intensive data centers but also due to electrification. The successful candidate will continue efforts to elevate technology to support SVP’s growth plans and other goals while at the same time ensuring a focus on core functions and continuous improvement in the way SVP operates, including:
- Develop, manage, and continually update a proactive Cybersecurity portfolio for the Electric Department, including a Utility Cyber Security Policy that maintains NERC CIP Compliance yet promotes Utility Business functionality.
- Develop Utility Strategic Technology Plan that identifies core competencies and principles of SVP focused Systems Support Group. This plan should leverage existing abilities of City IT group, Cloud computing opportunities, and consultants to deliver current and emerging technology
- Support, maintain, and administer more than 50 databases (Oracle, SQL), all on-prem, cloud, and hybrid/hyper-converge servers
- Support and administer AMI network, NERC CIP and other compliance initiatives, technology needs, SharePoint (corporate and NERC), GIS platform, and security cameras and monitoring
- Provide physical security planning support for Electric Dept facilities and substations; and
- Develop and implement workforce technology changes
- This position will play a critical role over the next few years to not only support SVP’s ambitious goals, but also the City of Santa Clara as it hosts several high profile events, including the February 2026 Superbowl and several Soccer World Cup Games later in Summer 2026
The position is housed at SVP main offices in Santa Clara but may also have the flexibility to work partially from Northern California Power Agency’s Satellite Office in Citrus Heights in Sacramento County.
