Job Description:  

This position will provide the opportunity to directly apply your knowledge of distribution engineering for medium to high voltage distribution and sub-transmission systems. Will lead and support distribution and sub-transmission projects with other engineers and designers. The complexity of the projects will determine individual’s involvement in the identification of engineering deliverables for the projects. Individual will perform various system studies and make recommendations for system improvements and perform cost analyses as needed. Position will organizing design activities, including quality reviews of the design, monitor and maintain project schedules, report changes that affect the schedule and budget, identify risks that may affect schedule and costs, and presenting opportunities to improve the design and construction of distribution and sub-transmission projects.

Responsibilities:

• Provide leadership, training and mentoring to develop engineering team.

• Analyze distribution and sub-transmission circuit studies to identify potential normal and emergency overloads and abnormal voltage conditions, and make recommendations for alternative solutions.

• Prepare short and long range distribution system studies for client system protection, short circuit and relay coordination, under-frequency, load flow, power quality, reliability, voltage drop, losses, and other engineering plans, reports, studies and presentations.

• Perform Arc-Flash Analysis on client’s distribution equipment as needed.

• Prepare and/or review schematics and wiring designs, grounding design, design calculations, and other engineering studies on projects.

• Plan, design, and oversee the design of relays, protection and controls for substation projects.

• Demonstrate working knowledge of SCADA systems and communication interfaces.

• Develop one & three line diagrams, schematics and wiring diagrams, relay settings and calculations, control and relay panel layouts and specifications, control and relay panels and equipment wiring diagrams.
