About The Position

Entergy’s Project Delivery Engineering Department is responsible for the planning, designing, constructing, maintaining and operating over 16,000 miles of transmission lines and over 2,700 substations across the four-state territory. Intern Job Description : Working in a team environment to assist engineers in day-to-day activities including but not limited to: Performing design based on project scoping and site visits Utilizing CAD software to create construction drawings for projects Preparing relay operational one-line drawings Validate estimating prices and equipment units, ensuring material is properly ordered and staged for upcoming projects Managing projects that are in construction Completion of as-built documentation Participate in weekly planning coordination calls Work on special projects to assist in improving grid reliability Responding to equipment failures Support lab testing and operations Support of business analytic processes through data mining and reporting, as well as performing a wide variety of detailed engineering analysis in transmission-related areas such as planning, economic analysis, maintenance, design, project management and construction, and operations Support and participate in project scoping activities for substation projects. Review existing relay settings. Coordinate with design and construction organizations to develop project scope and estimate sheets. Support project schedules and processes by using activity tracking applications such as Primavera. Model power systems using APA (previously known as PSS CAPE). Maintain master model for relay fault analysis. Support wide area coordination. Occasionally use additional tools such as ETAP, EMTP and Hypersim. Develop relay settings for substation protective relays. This includes performing fault studies and developing relay settings for transmission protection equipment related to capital projects and asset maintenance projects. Works with field groups, distribution engineers and plant engineers to ensure coordination of downstream distribution devices for the system. Support activities pertaining to SERC/NERC standards compliance and other utility relations as required with focus around PRC and CIP standards. Establish and improve relay testing laboratory. Develop and support relay test plans for planned projects. Support development of configurations for non RTU assets such as DFR and PQ meters. Participate in substation visits. Manage documentation via Documentum (WebTop and IPS-TRAMS) for transmission system protection and other records according to company and departmental policies. Support protection standard development and implementation as required. Investigate impact of relay firmware and software changes to Entergy system applications. Develop and update templates as appropriate. Develop departmental guidelines/tools and provide training as needed. Access new technologies. Lead better application development geared toward fault studies and relay settings. Research and implement smartgrid in Entergy system. Participate in Entergy continuous improvement projects. Travel may be required for the position
