Engineer II or Engineer III - Protection Settings

Duke Energy•Charlotte, NC

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role performs engineering studies, calculations, and settings development for substation protective relays in the Duke Energy Carolinas West Transmission Region. Responsibilities focus on applying new protective relaying for planned projects, as well as successful integration of new designs into existing legacy designs where required. This role also provides support and troubleshooting for implementation and commissioning of designed relays/protective systems as needed by field technicians. Additional tasks include support requests for stakeholder teams including Transmission Planning, Account Management, Tech Support, Operations, Asset Management and Compliance teams. 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. The Engineer III position is the advanced level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees in the Engineer III position solve complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with limited supervision. An Engineer III is expected to develop advanced skills, and the ability to work with greater independence. An Engineer III effectively applies fundamental concepts and procedures to work that is progressively complex and varied.

Requirements

Must have obtained Bachelor of Science in Engineering from an ABET accredited program or PE (A Master's degree in Engineering will be considered in lieu of the B.S. Engineering degree)
Minimum of 2 years of engineering experience (for Engineer II)
Minimum of 4 years of engineering experience (for Engineer III)
