This process seems like a formality for OFCCP compliance. For a mid to senior level role, they probably already have an internal candidate in mind. Expect to spend a lot of time and emotional energy waiting for the 60-day SLA, even after 2-3 interviews where it seems like you're the top choice. By the time the requisition is closed, you'll likely just get an automated rejection email. It's not about your qualifications; it's about the company's internal decisions.

The interview process was direct and formal. They asked multiple challenging questions, not typical ones, so be prepared to dig deep into your experiences. This interview was not easy and will test you. There's a reason it takes many people years to get into PGE.

So, first you apply online and they look at your resume. If they like it, you might have to do some tests. Then there are a few interviews, like phone calls and a panel interview. They'll ask about working together, safety, and managing projects, usually using the STAR method. They really care about safety and meeting deadlines. If everything goes well, they do background checks and drug tests, and then you get the offer. Make sure to talk about leading projects, being safe, and communicating well.
