Phyllis has been with PSEG for 18 years, beginning her career here as an Associate Engineer right out of college. After 8 years of learning and growth in that area she moved on to become a Senior Environment Engineer, becoming aware of that opportunity through our CareerLink service. Two years later, she broadened her experience by becoming a Plant Engineer (a position she also learned about through CareerLink) at Sewaren Generating Station and subsequently at NJ Peaking Operations, where she gained exposure to a broad range of new technologies. Her next role, as Production Manager at Sewaren Generating Station, enriched her knowledge of plant management, safety, maintenance and budgeting. Today, Phyllis is the Plant Manager at our Linden Generating Station.
