WORKING AT THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

At the Oregon Department of Energy, we're helping shape the state's energy future. Our team is dedicated to keeping Oregon on the leading edge of renewable energy and efficiency while supporting energy innovation, investment, equity, and resilience. From helping Oregonians save energy at home; to overseeing the state's interests in the world's largest environmental cleanup at the Hanford nuclear site in Washington, our work is challenging, rewarding, and diverse. We work with developers and communities on proposed energy facilities, with schools and manufacturers looking to save energy and money, and with other agencies and stakeholders on meeting the challenges of climate change. Oregon is one of the most energy-efficient states in the country, routinely landing near the top of annual national rankings. ODOE is committed to helping Oregon remain an energy leader, and that starts with hiring engaged team members ready to deliver for all Oregonians.

The Central Services Division is responsible for the critical operations that ensure the agency functions effectively, efficiently, in support of its mission, and in compliance with state and federal requirements.

The division also oversees information technology and database management, providing secure, innovative, reliable systems that support agency operations. Facilities and records management, risk management, and employee safety functions ensure a safe, organized and compliant workplace. Additionally, the division manages human resources, including strategic workforce planning, recruitment, classification and compensation, employee relations, leave administration, training, wellness programs, and personnel action processing.

The Information Services section helps achieve the agency’s mission by building and maintaining a modern, reliable, and readily accessible technology infrastructure.

In addition, the Information Services section provides internal services focusing on securing information and infrastructure, and coordinates enterprise technology efforts with Enterprise Information Services.
