Electric and natural gas utility serving 10M+ customers across six states
Duke Energy operates one of America's largest utility networks, serving 8.4 million electric customers and 1.7 million gas customers across six states. The tech stack reflects traditional utility infrastructure—SCADA, Maximo, Primavera P6—paired with enterprise productivity tools (Microsoft 365, Power Platform). Hiring momentum clusters in engineering (87 roles) and operations (58 roles), with minimal sales capacity (7 roles), typical of a regulated utility business. Current projects center on grid modernization, storm restoration workflows, and renewable generation deployment, all anchored to the company's dual net-zero commitments: methane emissions by 2030 and carbon emissions from electricity by 2050.
