Engineer, Electrical Engineering

Primary Purpose

Independently performs technical tasks and contributes to the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of Exelon's utility infrastructure, including electric or gas distribution, transmission, substations, and related systems. This role involves performing engineering studies, technical calculations, specifications, permitting, work packages, and performance evaluations to ensure system safety, reliability, and compliance with internal standards and regulatory requirements.

Work can include:

• Analyzing electric, gas, and/or communications system performance and analyzing outage data
• Identifying and implementing improvements in safety, reliability, and grid performance
• Supporting cost estimation, budgeting, and integrated system planning
• Collaborating with engineering, operations, construction, and external partners
• Conducting field inspections and supporting project execution; may be required to work extended hours for coverage during storms or other energy delivery emergencies

Note:
This is a hybrid position (in-office with remote flexibility). Employees are required to be in office at least three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). This position must sit out of our Oakbrook Terrace - IL office.

• Performs engineering assignments while exercising independent discretion under the guidance of an experienced engineer (e.g., collect data, perform complex analysis, interpret results, draw conclusions, and clearly present a recommendation to management)
• Performs engineering tasks associated with large projects or a number of small projects (e.g., analyze and interpret the results of complex power flows and perform complex engineering tests, and analyze non‑specific and ambiguous results)
• May direct the engineering tasks associated with a large project or a number of small projects (e.g., verify and validate studies, blueprints, or designs against accepted engineering principles and practices. Design high voltage transmission and distribution circuits, meeting all engineering standards and criteria)
• Evaluates effectiveness of current technical systems and processes. Participates on teams (e.g., design high voltage transmission and distribution circuits, meeting all engineering standards and criteria)

• Provides technical assistance in support of senior engineers, managers and others.
• Applies technical knowledge to help promote a safe work environment and to enhance customer satisfaction.
• Reliability Analysis develops and maintains system models required to run studies on the transmission system to ensure adherence to reliability criteria. This includes but is not limited to running thermal and voltage steady state powerflow studies and maintaining modeling data (connectivity, impedances, ratings, contingency information, etc.).
• Reliability Analysis analyzes the risk on the transmission system both in the short term and future year, which provides critical information to anticipate unidentified and prioritize existing risks.

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering
• 2–4 years of professional engineering experience
• Ability to analyze and interpret complex electrical and mechanical systems.
• Knowledge and ability to apply problem solving approaches and engineering theory.
• Knowledge of engineering designs, principles and practices.
• General knowledge and experience with regulations, guides, standards, codes, methods, and practices necessary to perform assignments for a specific discipline, various installations, or services.

• Graduate degree or graduate level work in Engineering, Business Administration or Project Management Certification
• Possess Engineer-in-Training (EIT) Certification
• Strong written and oral communication/presentation skills, report generation & technical writing skills
• Interpersonal skills & the ability to collaborate with peers and managers
• Consulting and needs assessment skills
• Time, project management and multi-tasking skills
• A working knowledge of analysis software packages such as CYMDIST, PSS E, TARA, Python, PSCAD, MATLAB, etc. to perform and analyze load flow modeling, contingency studies, and…
