Primary Purpose

The T&S Projects & Standards Team is responsible for maintaining and developing design standards and engineering practices that ensure standardized, safe, and cost-effective substation designs.

This position is responsible for a specific class of T&S Design Standards including module/template drawings, material specifications, construction specifications (S-Sheets), Job Processes (JPBs), and Engineering Practices (EPBs) for substation voltages of 13kV, 34kV, 115kV, 230kV, and 500kV. The role serves as a Subject Matter Expert and design authority for substation design and engineering within T&S, focusing on High Voltage/Physical Design and Substation Equipment.

Position may be required to work extended hours for coverage during storms or other energy delivery emergencies.

• Serves as a Subject Matter Expert for a specific class of T&S Design Standards including module/template drawings, material specifications, construction specifications (S-Sheets), Job Processes (JPBs), and Engineering Practices (EPBs) for substation voltages of 13kV, 34kV, 115kV, 230kV, and 500kV.
• Point of Contact for technical questions related to material application and design standards.
• Works with vendors on material design improvements and implementation.
• Collaborates with Equipment Specialists, Protection & Control Engineering, Substation Engineering, Transmission Engineering, Capacity Planning, Transmission Reinforcement, Substation Operations & Maintenance, Relay Testing and other field groups to set the design and material standards and applications while ensuring safety, effectiveness, and constructability of standards.
• Performs assignments while acting independently and may lead multi-discipline teams.
• Provides recommendations to management and implements action plans to improve reliability.
• Provides detailed technical training, mentorship, peer review, and/or guidance to others.
• Interfaces with applicable industry groups such as IEEE, EPRI, EEI, MEA, etc. to introduce new design improvements and materials.
• Investigates common point of failure modes and trends for the purpose of material or design standard improvements as well as supporting the analysis of extent of condition.

• Influences project decisions having a significant impact on the company.
• Applies technical knowledge to help promote a safe work environment and to enhance customer satisfaction.

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or Licensed Professional Engineer (2) (3) Knowledge of engineering designs, principles, and practices.
• Ability to analyze and interpret complex electrical and mechanical systems.
• Knowledge and ability to apply problem solving approaches and engineering theory.
• Detailed knowledge of applicable standards, codes methods, and practices unique to areas of expertise.
• 7+ years of professional engineering experience (1) (3) (See Note
  3). Thorough knowledge and experience in unique areas of engineering expertise.
• Ability to apply advanced engineering principles to identify and resolve complex issues.
• Minimum of three related career experiences (4) (i.e., changes in technical job responsibilities, which may or may not include a change in department) or Lead Member of a recognized industry committee or Professional Engineer's License (2), advanced technical degree, MBA or Project Management Certification (1). Master’s Degree in Engineering reduces the OJT experience requirement by 1 year. (2) License must be issued by the state in which you are practicing.
  
  (3) PE License reduces the OJT experience requirement by 1 year. (4) Career related experiences is defined as changes in technical job responsibilities and does not have to include a change in department.
• Note:
  
  Items (1) and (3) are mutually inclusive, whereby the maximum experience requirement reduction is one (1) year (e.g., in the case of an employee with both a Master’s degree in Engineering AND a PE license, the minimum experience requirement would be reduced by one (1) year).

• Graduate degree (1) or Graduate level work in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or similar field.
