Our people are our greatest asset. That’s why we are so focused on sustaining and building the skilled workforce PG&E needs to thrive today and in the future—a workforce that embraces a safety-first culture in all aspects of our operations.

And it’s why, starting with each employee’s first day on the job, we are cultivating a diverse workplace that prioritizes their safety, health and well-being; engages them in continued growth and learning; and emphasizes connections with our communities.
