Department Overview
The work performed by the Corporate Security Department (CSD) is key to the company's success in protecting employees, the contract workforce, the public, and the company's physical assets, including several which are critical to the nation's power grid infrastructure. The CSD provides a variety of opportunities, including involvement in developing, communicating and implementing processes and tools relating to investigations, formal communications with company officers, personnel development, and coordination of the company's physical security efforts. Importance is placed on developing close partnerships with other Lines of Businesses and law enforcement, to ensure quick response and appropriate communication of issues and mitigation plans.
Fraud Investigators are primarily assigned to investigate allegations of fraud against PG&E, from both internal and external actors. Fraud Investigators work closely with the company's Internal Auditing Department which provides independent, objective assurance over the adequacy of processes and controls to manage business risk and to provide control advisory services. Fraud investigators also work with CSD Security Investigators to assist with the investigation of employee misconduct, workplace violence and non-fraud crimes against the company. Fraud investigators may also be called upon periodically to assist with executive protection and security-related emergency response assignments, and will be expected to participate in delivering employee security-related training provided by the CSD.
