  • Develop and implement maintenance and operational procedures and standards for electric utility system equipment.
  • Review and approve test reports, as-built switchgear drawings, system one-line diagrams, and associated system documentation to ensure system load parameters remain within limits during abnormal circuit configurations.
  • Monitor existing electric utility system parameters and provide engineering recommendations to maintain the system within allowable limits.
  • Conduct electric utility system arc-flash assessments and determine appropriate in-field personal protective equipment.
  • Collaborate with colleagues, mid-level management, and customer representatives on matters requiring cross-organizational coordination.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.
Additional Responsibilities at the TSS.4 Level
  • Lead technical teams in creating detailed engineering designs and construction packages for electric utility system equipment upgrades and replacements.
  • Oversee project coordination and provide construction oversight for Electric Utility Division projects.
  • Guide the review process for site-wide electric utility systems projects from initial concept through construction, ensuring compliance with design, code conformance, safety, environmental standards, equipment specifications, and acceptance testing criteria.
Qualifications
  • Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (with a focus on power systems) or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience, and the ability to obtain professional registration as an Electrical Engineer in California or through reciprocity from another state within 12 months.
  • Advanced knowledge and experience in one or more of the following areas: (1) electric utility substation and distribution system engineering, maintenance, and operations; (2) California Public Utility Commission General Orders and other applicable codes and standards; (3) electric utility system analysis software to perform load-flow, fault-duty, protective device coordination, and arc-flash studies; experience in conducting engineering economic studies and making recommendations to management and stakeholders.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, with experience using AutoCAD for design drawings.
  • Significant experience in electric utility system safety practices in accordance with relevant codes and standards.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills to effectively collaborate in a team environment and present technical information to management.
  • Self-motivated to perform, execute, and enhance work practices for oneself and the department.
Additional Qualifications at the TSS.4 Level
  • Required professional registration as an Electrical Engineer in California or another state.
  • Extensive experience in preparing engineering designs and construction packages for electric utility system equipment upgrades and replacements.
  • Expert communication and collaboration skills to effectively interact with all levels of personnel and present technical information to senior management and external stakeholders.
