This Electrical Engineer 3 position is located within the Substation Design organization, which is responsible for developing technical electrical designs and standards for substation projects such as reactor groups, capacitor groups, station service overhauls, power transformer replacements, power circuit breaker replacements, fiber optic cabling, motor operated disconnects, Sequential Events Recorder (SER), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions (SCADA), relaying, metering, Digital Fault Recorder (DFR)s and Remedial Action Schemes. Substation design engineers’ responsibilities begin with leading a technical team that develops the scope of the project and then continues by developing technical designs for applicable project and continue as a subject matter expert through the construction and closeout phases. This position will perform electrical engineer design services for multiple complex high voltage substation projects and will work closely with the assigned Project Managers, Real Property Services, the Construction Acquisition Team, Environmental and Cultural Resources and other representatives from a wide variety of organizations across the corporation.
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
Serve as an Electrical Design Engineer on multiple client manager‑assigned projects in collaboration with senior management, Asset Management, the Project Definition Team, Project Engineering, high voltage Engineers, Environmental and Cultural Resources, Real Property Management and other Subject Matter Experts and representatives from across the corporation, providing expert electrical design engineering guidance, including:
Receive and review preliminary project documentation, such as the Concept Design Document, the Asset Plan Item document, and other associated documents
Collaborate with applicable Project Manager to set the design due date.
Review project SharePoint site to verify complete and accurate documentation; elevate concerns with missing or inaccurate site or data
Arrange, coordinate, and facilitate multiple meetings, including with the design project team, decision making teams, status update meetings, etc.
Provide background information, technical input, options and recommendations that facilitate project decision‑making. These decision‑making sessions include the “Stage Gate 3 Review” and meeting with the Construction Contract Decision Team leading to the Stage Gate 4 authorization for construction.
Arrange, coordinate and facilitate site visit(s) for the project design team and other essential personnel. This work may include drafting the agenda, arranging travel and logistics, communication and coordination, possible overnight accommodations, introductions, facilitating the walkthrough, note and picture taking, etc. with all available parties and as much field representation as possible.
Facilitate regular design team meetings and coordinate activities of sub‑teams and other technical resources.
Create / draft routine project documents, presentations, and communication, including meeting agendas, meeting notes, status reports, corrective action / issue / risk obstacles and mitigation recommendations, procedurally required project documentation, specifications and requirements, etc.
Provide recommendations to the assigned PM and project team regarding project expectations, approach, roadmaps, schedule, scope, work plans, deliverables and goals, etc.
Facilitate, assist and shepherd the project design team members through completion of the project design, collaborate with other design groups for non‑electrical design elements; work with the client’s Drawing Distribution to ensure all drawings, designs, and documentation are distributed for Construction.
Create technical electrical designs and standards for substation projects such as reactor groups, capacitor groups, station service overhauls, power transformer replacements, power circuit breaker replacements, fiber optic cabling, motor operated disconnects, SER, SCADA, relaying, metering, DFRs and RAS.
Review and comment on technical electrical designs of substation projects submitted for review by engineering firms contracted to provide drawings to the client.
Interact and collaborate with external stakeholders, often navigating complex business relationships.
Conduct appropriate review of Stage Gate 3 estimates
Attend, participate and present any project overview documentation in coordination with the PM
Serve as point of contact for the assigned PM and project team, providing technical input and recommendations, developing and/or reviewing Statements of Work (SOWs), coordinating technical SME communication and other technical / electrical engineering support.
Provide or coordinate with SMEs to provide technical support as needed throughout the design and construction support phases.
Complete and facilitate technical design efforts for high voltage (69kV‑500kV) substation projects including new greenfield substations, bay additions, bay modifications, transmission line re‑terminations, bus replacements and re‑routes, and high voltage equipment replacements.
Create, revise, enhance and review engineering standards to support substation design and engineering.
Facilitate planning, engineering and design efforts for installation of substation equipment and other electrical systems in client substations.
Serve as technical liaison during design phase verifying that the completed design meets all requirements stipulated by the client’s planning organization and that were planned for during the scoping phase. Help resolve any differences between design and original plan and/or scope; provide technical review and input during design phase.
Serve as technical liaison during construction phase and verify that completed project is installed per design and/or original scope.
Provide input and recommendations for engineering requirements and technical design parameters in the development of substation equipment and facilities, while verifying they meet all functional, operational, maintenance, reliability, and safety requirements.
Coordinate with internal and external technicians
Make recommendations on the application of the National Electrical Code, the National Electrical Safety Code, and North American Electric Reliability Corporation critical infrastructure protection (NERC CIP) to substation work and other related projects.
Coordinate and facilitate planning and organization of substation design projects including troubleshooting design problems, resolving problems, and recommending appropriate design methods.
Perform print verification and project planning in client energized substations, including the examination of open cabinets in substations
This position may require multiple site visits to existing corporate substations and proposed substation sites while unescorted (voltages in substations can range from 120 volts to 500,000 volts) to verify design prints, meet with electricians or for on‑site coordination and other construction meetings.
May serve as escort to client employees and contractors that do not hold permits for access to corporate stations.
