Provide engineering analyses and support for substation capital projects. Apply electrical engineering theories and protocols to areas such as grounding studies, lightning shielding studies, insulation coordination studies, substation configuration and layout, substation equipment and material application, NESC (National Electric Safety Code) compliance, power fuse coordination studies, knowledge of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations, and mitigation of environmental issues. Apply the following to substation design practice: protective relay schemes and controls, structural and foundation installations, transmission and distribution construction, and operation and maintenance performance concerns. Demonstrate familiarity with the NEC (National Electric Code) and the ability to research and apply its requirements. Work with project planners to develop alternative substation solutions and determine the most effective approach considering cost, construction, and operation and maintenance performance perspectives. Participate in preliminary substation project scoping meetings involving all project stakeholders. Provide accurate and complete engineering estimates for authorization of substation projects including detailing project equipment, material, labor, overheads, and contingencies. Provide project closeout data on all projects and conduct debriefing meetings as needed to determine lessons learned regarding quality, cost, and schedule results. Develop and maintain substation project schedules and/or work in conjunction with Project Management on schedule commitments. Ensure timely order and arrival of equipment and materials, timely issue of construction prints and documents to meet project milestone dates, and interface with field construction personnel to resolve issues and concerns. Act as a project lead on projects not assigned to the Project Management organization. Interface with several other groups including Transmission Regions, Transmission Line Engineering, Distribution Engineering, Transmission and Distribution Operations, Transmission and Distribution Asset Management, Project Management, and Telecommunications.
Minimum Requirements
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (or foreign equivalent). Four years of experience as an Electrical Engineer, Design Engineer, or related engineering occupation in the electrical power industry (utility and/or equipment development/manufacturing) that includes the following: 1. Specification of electric utility substation facility layouts and utility power system equipment such as circuit breakers and buswork, 2. Analysis and compliance with safety practices and codes, such as IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standards, ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards, the NESC (National Electric Safety Code), the NEC (National Electric Code), and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations, or comparable codes and regulations, 3. Project management including multi-company and multi-discipline projects, 4. Planning and development of substation configurations and schemes relative to power system reliability and load flow requirements in a given area. Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (or foreign equivalent) and two years of experience in the above acceptable. All experience requirements may be gained before, during or after degree, and any suitable combination of education, training or experience is acceptable.
