Natural gas utility serving 4.2M customers across four states
Southern Company Gas operates regulated natural gas distribution across the Southeast while managing wholesale, storage, and liquefaction assets. The tech stack—SCADA, Maximo, GIS, Oracle, and Power BI—reflects operational complexity typical of critical infrastructure; current hiring emphasis (6 engineers, 4 finance roles) and active projects around SCADA upgrades, LNG expansion, and billing system overhaul suggest focus on modernizing aging distribution networks and regulatory compliance systems.
Southern Company Gas is a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Company, serving approximately 4.2 million natural gas utility customers through regulated distribution companies in four states. The company operates distribution infrastructure, wholesale asset management, and natural gas storage and liquefaction facilities. Day-to-day operations span distribution, transmission, and peaking generation projects, supported by legacy ERP (Oracle) and field-operations systems (SCADA, Maximo). Work spans both capital-intensive projects (LNG expansion, transmission mains) and routine operational reliability (outage reduction, billing accuracy).
Oracle ERP, SCADA for grid management, Maximo for asset maintenance, GIS for infrastructure mapping, Power BI for analytics, and Python/R for data analysis—typical stack for large regulated utilities managing distributed critical infrastructure.
Data accuracy in billing systems, outage reduction and minimization, infrastructure capacity planning, regulatory compliance, and delivery of high-risk capital projects like LNG expansion—reflected in active projects around billing enhancement, SCADA modernization, and transmission infrastructure.
