Regulated utility delivering electricity and natural gas across multiple US states
PPL Corporation operates a regional utility business spanning electricity distribution, transmission, and natural gas delivery. The tech stack reflects operational maturity in grid management (SCADA, PSS/E, GIS) paired with heavy SAP integration (S/4HANA, HANA, ABAP, SAPUI5) for enterprise resource planning—a pattern common in large regulated utilities managing capital-intensive infrastructure. Hiring skews engineering-heavy (68 roles) with substantial ops and construction focus, while projects concentrate on transmission asset management, grid modernization, and regulatory compliance.
