Department Overview

Information Systems Technology Services is a unified organization comprised of various departments which collaborate effectively in order to deliver high quality technology solutions.  The Billing Modernization team resides within the Customer Systems & Solutions (CSS) group and is part of the Enterprise Platforms & Infrastructure group that supports IT projects, operations, risks & compliance.  This team is in the midst of a large customer transformation journey with a main emphasis of modernizing and re-architecting our Billing and rates platforms.

Billing Modernization Background

PG&E is modernizing its billing systems to support evolving rate structures, programs, and customer needs.  Known as PG&E’s Billing Modernization Initiative, the program will move customers to a unified customer care, service order, metering, and billing platform while minimizing disruption during the transition. The work is planned in three stages:

• Stage 1 replaced ABS for electric complex billing customers through the Billing Cloud Services (BCS) solution, deployed in Q3 2025.
• Stage 2 is currently underway and will upgrade Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing from version 2.4 to CC&B 25.4, with release planned in 2026.
• Stage 3 is restarting in 2026 and will complete the transition to Oracle Customer to Meter (C2M), consolidating CC&B, BCS, ABS gas, and L&G MDMS capabilities.

This complex challenge is anticipated to span 4 or more years from the restart of the C2M project through eventual production deployment and stabilization phases.  We are seeking individuals to support the entirety of Stage 3 project, from project restart through delivery, as part of a unified Billing Modernization team.
