Regional electric utility serving 600K+ customers across southwestern Pennsylvania
Duquesne Light operates a legacy utility infrastructure stack centered on Oracle (ERP + Financials), GIS systems (ArcGIS), and industrial control (SCADA, Maximo). The hiring mix—27 engineering roles against 11 ops and 8 finance—reflects capital-intensive operations focused on grid reliability rather than software acceleration. Active projects around subtransmission rehabilitation, distribution system development, and ADMS implementation signal ongoing infrastructure modernization, while pain points cluster around NERC compliance, deferred maintenance, and cost recovery—typical constraints in regulated utilities managing aging assets.
