Generation Engineer II

Arizona Public Service generates reliable, affordable and clean energy for 2.7 million Arizonans. As the state's largest and longest-serving energy provider, our more than 6,000 dedicated employees power our vision of creating a sustainable energy future for Arizona.

Summary

The Generation Engineer applies in-depth technical, power plant knowledge and expertise to the development of complex, multi-disciplinary engineering, and construction projects for implementation under the Capital Projects program utilizing 3rd party engineering and construction services. The Engineer works with power plant personnel and engineers to examine system and component health problems and determine if a project is needed to maintain the reliability of system(s) and component(s). With input from plant and engineering stakeholders, the Engineer develops the scope, cost, schedule, risk matrix, and justification for large to small scale Generation projects for annual presentation of the Generation (non-nuclear) Capital Budget and 10-year LRF.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Engineering & Planning: Conceptualize design of plant retrofit projects to correct current plant system and component issues. This includes developing scopes, schedules, and costs of capital projects for yearly budget presentation.
• Cross Functional Collaboration: Work within interdisciplinary teams, including operations, maintenance and planning, aligning project objectives and technical requirements. Interface with Resource Planning and Marketing to justify capital project retrofits through economic analysis and presentation to management.
• Engineering Analysis & Problem Solving: Apply advanced engineering methods and analysis to assess system and component performance, address operational challenges, and drive decision making.
• Strategic Planning: Create ten-year long-range forecast for critical systems and components throughout the APS Generation fleet.
