Become part of the team that is developing and shaping the industry as one of the largest Voltage Optimization (VO) energy efficiency programs in the US. Although the VO program was created out of energy efficiency, the VO operations is a central managed distribution automation system designed to intelligently control the voltage on a particular distribution line. The role not only involves the ongoing project execution, maintenance, and operations support of the VO program, but also includes several project related engineering initiatives to automate and improve the processes of the VO system.

The successfully individual will contribute to the team though support of SCADA, distribution system, communication networks, computer programming, metering, and power system models.

The new member of the team will support the Com Ed Voltage Optimization (VO) program and the operations and maintenance of the VO system including design engineering, technical analysis, remote commissioning, innovation, troubleshooting, software, data analytics, regulatory requirements, and general management. Engineering tasks include SCADA, drawing analysis, data analytics, GIS system model integration, and programming development. Technical analysis of capacitor bank controllers, voltage regulator controllers, transformer tap changer controllers, conservation voltage reduction, volt-var optimization, communication networks, and AMI metering data.

Operations and maintenance include in-depth system troubleshooting, VO device preventative/corrective maintenance, process improvement, and report automation. Provides consultation and recommendations to the Company within and to other business units and/or customers.
