System Operator Trainee's will be required to demonstrate mastery of the training material as measured by formal evaluations and by observation of the work being performed. The job is measured based on both quantity and quality of results achieved. Some examples of qualitative factors include wholesale costs, risk mitigation (how often automation or redundancy is in or out of service and when), logical analytical response to system events, proper analysis, and application of real-time data to mitigate issues, and ensuring all systems are updated and functioning properly. Quantitative factor measures include items such as reporting, system updates, or other measures of productivity.

  • Analyze the impact of requested system configuration changes (such as switching, cautions, etc), to determine the risks of each request. Appropriate steps must be taken to reduce risk based on the analysis.
  • Update and maintain the accuracy of all electric system operations data. This includes real-time statuses of the configuration of the system, outage statuses, and other processes that are required for efficient operations. This also includes data that will be used for historical purposes to analyze the system for possible reliability improvements or answer inquiries from customers.
  • Efficiently restore service to customers.
  • Perform root-cause analysis of major outages and prepare formal reports that include a complete timeline of events, cause, conclusions, and corrective actions.
  • Effectively communication concerning system changes and events, both internally and externally, is required.
  • Use the field workforce efficiently to perform operation and restoration activities.

Education and Experience

  • A minimum of a 2-Year Associates Degree in an Electrical Engineering discipline with a 2.5 GPA or higher (or equivalent education and experience as determined by EPB) is required.
  • 3-5 years of experience in distribution utility operations is preferred.
  • Strong computer, reporting, and analytical skills. These skills will be required to develop measures, retrieve data from systems, analyze that data, create reports, draw conclusions, and develop action plans useful for measuring and improving the performance of the electric system.
  • Good working knowledge of electrical theory and electric power system operations.
  • Capability to become certified as a NERC Transmission Operator. This is a potential future requirement of EPB operators or may be selected by EPB as the best option to comply with NERC regulations.
  • The individual is subject to Continuing Education (including regular Refresher Training) and Proficiency Exams.
