This position can be hired as either an Engineer I or one level higher as an Engineer II depending on experience
Description
The Engineer I position is the entry level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees in the Engineer I position solve problems in engineering areas of specialization with close supervision. An Engineer I is expected to develop skills, and the ability to work with greater independence. An Engineer I has knowledge of fundamental concepts and procedures.
The Engineer II position is the intermediate level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees in the Engineer II position solve complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with general supervision. An Engineer II is expected to develop advanced skills, and the ability to work with greater independence. An Engineer II effectively applies fundamental concepts and procedures to work that is fairly complex and varied
This position performs engineering studies, calculations and settings development for substation protective relays. Primary job responsibilities will be focused on the application of new protective relaying for existing infrastructure (protection upgrades) or new transmission system capital investments. Additional responsibilities include providing protective relay settings support and troubleshooting for relays and protective systems as well as the development, implementation and maintenance of protective device settings templates (transmission line protection, transformer protection, bus protection, capacitor protection, etc.).
Transmission P&C Settings projects will include 4.16 kV, 12.5 kV, 24 kV, 44 kV, 100 kV, 230 kV, and 525 kV voltage levels. The candidate will be expected to manage multiple ongoing projects and interface with other engineering disciplines, project management, and construction/maintenance crews as dictated by the work. The candidate is expected to excel in adhering to project schedule demands and finding solutions to problems collaboratively.
