I think that depends on how you set your dbtimezone? Mine returns:

SYS AS SYSDBA @ emrep> select to_char(next_run_date,'TZR TZD') from scheduler$_job;

TO_CHAR(NEXT_RUN_DATE,'TZRTZD')

-05:00

SYS AS SYSDBA @ emrep> select sessiontimezone from dual;

SESSIONTIMEZONE

---
-05:00

Also, you might want one of these:

SQL> select sessiontimezone from dual;

SESSIONTIMEZONE

-08:00

SQL> select to_char(next_run_date,'TZR TZD') from scheduler$_job;

TO_CHAR(NEXT_RUN_DATE,'TZRTZD')
