The P&C Test Engineer II is a developing field professional responsible for executing assigned commissioning and testing scopes under the oversight of a Senior or Lead Test Engineer. This role is actively expanding from component-level task execution toward independent system-level understanding and is expected to demonstrate growing confidence in protection testing, drawing navigation, and safe work execution with decreasing reliance on step‑by‑step direction.

This role is the bridge between entry-level directed execution and the independence expected at the Senior level. The Test Engineer II is expected to bring a questioning attitude to every task, seek to understand the "why" behind each test, and actively pursue the technical knowledge required to advance. This position supports commissioning projects involving relay protection systems, breaker controls, CT/VT circuits, transformer protection, and substation equipment testing across distribution and transmission substations up to 765 kV.

• Execute assigned relay protection testing tasks using Doble, Omicron, RTS, SEL AcSELerator, GE Enervista, and equivalent testing platforms under Senior or Lead oversight.
• Perform relay input/output testing, analog‑to‑digital metering checks, and individual element pickup and timing tests with accurate documentation of results.
• Perform CT and VT testing including ratio, polarity, phasing, and single‑point grounding verification on familiar configurations with oversight available for complex arrangements.
• Execute breaker control circuit testing including trip path verification, auxiliary contact checks, and breaker functional tests as directed.
• Read and navigate one‑lines, three‑lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, and panel layouts with confidence on standard configurations.
• Identify station phasing and equipment orientation with guidance on novel or complex configurations.
• Apply developing knowledge of AC/DC power system fundamentals and basic power calculations, protection zones and equipment relationship, overcurrent/differential/basic impedance protection concepts, instrument transformer behavior and accuracy class, and breaker control circuits including trip coils, auxiliary contacts, and DC battery systems.
• Navigate relay manufacturer instruction manuals and settings files to support assigned testing tasks.
• Begin connecting individual test results to the broader protection scheme with Senior or Lead coaching.

• Actively engage with POWERX Academy training material, study protection theory, relay platforms, and commissioning standards, and apply all learning directly to field assignments to accelerate progression toward Senior level.
• Develop test plans and task‑level isolation plans for routine scopes with Senior or Lead review.
• Review assigned drawing packages prior to testing, identifying questions and potential inconsistencies for discussion with the Senior or Lead before work begins.
• Ensure all testing aligns with utility standards, NETA practices, and client‑specific commissioning requirements as communicated by the Senior or Lead.
