FPL operates the largest electric utility network in the US, serving over 12 million customers across Florida. The tech stack reveals a hybrid operational model: legacy industrial control systems (PLC, DCS, Maximo) anchoring grid operations, paired with modern data tools (Python, Spark, Redshift, Power BI) for analytics and cost optimization. Active hiring skews heavily toward engineering and operations roles, reflecting ongoing grid modernization projects—from OT network implementation to proactive outage planning—while pain points center on fleet reliability, maintenance costs, and regulatory compliance.
