Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
2 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is the independent regulatory commission that oversees the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil, licenses and inspects non-federal hydropower projects and reviews proposals for interstate pipelines and liquefied natural gas terminals. USAJOBS lists it under the Department of Energy, where it sits for administrative purposes, but its commissioners make decisions independently. Its workforce is built around engineers, economists, accountants, attorneys and energy industry analysts.
Recent listings have included civil engineers, including a structural engineer and one filled under direct hire authority, an accountant, an energy industry analyst for recent graduates and a director of the legal division.
Applying tip: FERC’s civil engineers largely work on dam safety and hydropower inspection, so structural, geotechnical or hydraulic experience with dams should lead the resume. The recent graduate title is a Pathways position with its own eligibility window after graduation. The engineering guide explains federal engineering qualifications, and the entry-level guide covers Pathways.
