Ultra boring work. You live and breath excel sheets with random numbers and data. Zero engineering background is necessary for this job, except to get hired. They basically audit PGE's gas service/maintenance records and help manage the replacement of old gas lines (more or less). Upper management couldn't care less about project engineers. Some middle managers watch your every movement, making sure you're not late, don't take long lunches, don't leave early, don't surf the web or talk too much to coworkers. They will monitor your activities even when there is zero work to do, which was the case most of the time because the company lost tons of work from PGE. Very high turnover rate at all levels. This experience is utterly useless for any other engineering career path, all you need to be able to do is use excel and read maps. Depending on your project you may have tons of driving and spend a lot of time at different PGE locations by yourself or with a teammate.
