• Leads small engineering projects or tasks, coordinating with cross‑functional teams to ensure technical requirements and standards are met (e.g., analyze and interpret results of power flows, perform engineering tests, and resolve ambiguous findings)
• Provides technical support and consultation to engineering and operating groups, assisting in the design, installation, and maintenance of systems and equipment (e.g., review and validate studies, blueprints, or designs against accepted engineering principles and practices).
• Participates in the evaluation and improvement of technical systems and processes, contributing to project planning and implementation, and may assign and review work as needed.
• Lead scope of work development for new 138kV, 345kV and 765kV substations, expansions, rebuilds, and major equipment additions.
• Define assumptions evaluate alternatives and build strategies.
• Responsible for developing high level scope, one‑line diagrams, conceptual layouts, and preliminary designs for greenfield substations and capacity expansion projects.
• Coordinate input from civil structural and protection & control to deliver integrated, high‑quality solutions

• Influences project decisions having a moderate impact on the company that may include leading employees or contractors in the commissioning of electrical systems and equipment to be placed On System.
• Applies technical knowledge to help promote a safe work environment and to enhance customer satisfaction.

• 50% complete (by hours) with advanced technical degree, M.B.A. 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).
