Prin Proj Outage Coordinator

Primary Purpose

Responsible for optimizing the practices, policies, procedures and programs to operate the electric transmission, sub- transmission and distribution systems in a safe, reliable and efficient manner with the welfare of employees, customers, the public and shareholders in mind. Submits outage requests for planned project work in support of the project management department. Analyze project diagram related work and coordinate the addition of new equipment to the system.

Create electrical zones of protection for field personnel to work within, satisfying all safety tagging procedures. Works with the OCC, TSO and project managers to resolve conflicts between outage requests and system operating constraints. Maintain and apply a working knowledge of the Exelon Management Model for business controls and meet management's expectation for conducting effective business. Position may be required to work extended hours for coverage during storms or other energy delivery emergencies.

• Collect and analyze system data to determine the feasibility of switching requests for transmission, substation and distribution equipment. Ensure the safe, efficient and secure operation of the electric system and manage the impact on system reliability. (30%)
• Work with project managers to determine required zones of protection and outage sequencing to execute planned project work. (30%)
• Review and follow the progression of project diagram work on the transmission, sub transmission and distribution system. (15%)
• Support the project manager in work bundling activities to minimize the impact to the system. (15%)
• Work with the OCC, TSO and project managers to resolve conflicts between outage requests and system operating constraints. (10%)

• The Principal Arranger supports project managers in determining the required zones of protection and outage sequencing required to execute planned transmission and substation project work. The individual must submit outage requests to the OCC and TSO in accordance with Com Ed and PJM requirements. The individual will also work with the PM, TSO & OCC to optimize project outage schedules to minimize the impact to the system.
  
  The individual must be able to work independently to avoid unplanned interruptions to customers and verify that all scheduled work does not place our customers or electric system at undue risk.
• The consequences of operating errors or improper system operation could cost the company millions of dollars in direct, indirect and intangible costs such as the loss of customer good will, damaged company equipment, damaged customer equipment and damage to the company's public image. The individual must be able to analyze issues, prioritize and provide direction under extreme stress and conflicting demands for attention.
  
  The impact on the corporate initiatives for O&M would be severely impacted without the Principal Arranger's ability to minimize risk during planned outages.
