Entergy
Process Owner
At Entergy, we've been planning for the future for more than 100 years. We've experienced a lot of change, generating power first from sawdust to splitting atoms, harnessing sunlight, and using abundant, clean and efficient natural gas. We are leading the clean energy transformation for the utility industry and continue to explore alternative technologies. We are on the verge of a monumental technology convergence, where reality swiftly catches up to possibility. The utility of the future does much more than keep the lights on and the gas flowing. It's knowledgeable and skillful workforce will solve challenges and fuel a brighter, smarter, cleaner, and more prosperous future for everyone. Having the lowest retail electricity rates of any utility in the United States drives economic growth within Entergy's region, a key ingredient to sustained growth for any utility. We also believe in an inclusive workforce committed to personal and professional growth is critical to our success. We place a high priority on developing talent to meet current and future needs, giving employees opportunities to grow their careers their way. We've committed over the next three decades to reduce our carbon emissions from our operations to net-zero by 2050. Entergy's Power Generation group operates a fleet of more than 30 owned, leased, or operated natural gas, coal, hydro and solar plants, with a total engineering capacity exceeding 20,000 megawatts. Entergy continues to build or acquire megawatts from new hydrogen capable natural gas units, solar, wind and other technologies to complement its existing megawatts of nuclear, natural gas, coal, hydroelectric, and solar facilities. Entergy is also on the leading edge of pursuing carbon capture technology on new and existing combined cycle plants to reach carbon neutral goals. This position is responsible for establishing and maintaining a standard for control system commissioning, monitoring instrumentation, graphics design and alarm management for new generation assets. This position will also be responsible for ensuring consistent integration of Power Generation network security infrastructure and NERC CIP standards to facilitate remote operations, remote tuning and cyber security. This position will take the lead on working with the EPC contractors to ensure consistency of control system design for new build power plant facilities. This position will broadly integrate across projects being developed in Power Development and executed by Capital Projects (CP). This position will support all Board approved projects as well as those in development for future consideration. Partner with Power Generation Engineering and Technical Services to establish and/or maintain an alarm management standard for Power Generation. Partner with Power Generation Engineering and Technical Services to develop startup sequencing standards, instrumentation requirements and control schemes to successfully implement a "one-click startup". Partner with the Capital Projects execution team, plant lead team and EPC control system personnel to ensure consistent alarm management standard is implemented at each new generation site. Collaborate with the each of the new plant operations teams to establish consistent alarm response strategy for the new build fleet. Partner with Power Generation Engineering and Technical Services and Remote Operations Control Center to establish and maintain a graphics standard for Power Generation assets. Partner with the Capital Projects execution team, plant lead team and EPC control system personnel to ensure graphics standards are implemented consistently at each new generation facility to support standardization and remote operability of the facility. Train the plant staff on fully functional checkout of the plant instrumentation and control systems and ensure consistency from site to site. Collaborate with Information Technologies and ROCC employees to ensure consistent implementation of network security architecture that enables remote operations integration and remote tuning capabilities for the new assets. Partner with risk and compliance on critical infrastructure standards and implementation plans for the new build assets. Partner with the EPC controls engineers to ensure consistent implementation of control philosophy at each of the new build sites. Minimum education required of the position Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent work experience in power plant operations, power plant systems, power generation policies and market operations. Preferred: Advanced technical certification or bachelor's technical/engineering degree or equivalent work experience. Technical degree in instrumentation or controls. Minimum experience required of the position Candidate must have a minimum of 3-4 years of experience in utility instrumentation and controls or equivalent outside industry experience or at least 5 years power plant experience for candidates with degrees. A Supt, Process level I position for 15 years experience or equivalent outside industry experience for candidates without degrees.
