About The Position

Lead engineering oversight of 230kV high‑voltage systems, including breakers, transformers, switches, relays, protection systems, grounding systems, and associated infrastructure. Provide technical support for the design, installation, commissioning, energization, and operation of utility‑scale electrical equipment. Develop specifications, protective relay settings, equipment purchasing requirements, and construction standards for high‑voltage systems. Own the reliability strategy for 230kV and substation equipment condition assessments, predictive maintenance, health monitoring, and life‑cycle planning. Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for electrical events, failures, mis‑operations, or disturbances and implement corrective actions. Ensure system capacity, redundancy, switching procedures, and single‑line documentation are maintained accurately and continuously. Ensure all engineering practices meet OSHA, NFPA 70/70E, IEEE, NERC, and local utility standards. Drive Electrical Safety Program elements for HV systems, including LOTO procedures, arc‑flash compliance, and HV training for personnel. Work closely with facilities engineering, operations teams, utility partners, design consultants, and construction contractors. Mentor junior engineers and technicians on HV power systems, protection schemes, and safe operating practices. Develop and maintain substation documentation, one‑line diagrams, schematics, operating procedures, and emergency response plans. Deliver technical reports, outage plans, and substation event documentation to communicate system status and improvement recommendations.
