About Us
The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, the State’s voice for millions of Ohio residential utility consumers, seeks an employee with a passion for public service to serve as Federal-State Energy Analyst in the Analytical Department. This position is an opportunity to help consumers, including at-risk and low-income Ohioans, regarding their electric services (with some involvement in natural gas services). Since the legislature created the agency in 1976, we have sought lower utility bills and reliable utility service for residential consumers. At OCC, we put Consumers First.
