Job description

Performs Relay and Control functions requiring the basic to advanced electrical design of distribution substations and the selection and application of standard engineering techniques, guidelines, procedures, and standards. Works under the close supervision of an experienced transmission engineer on assignments.

(E-I) Receives specific and detailed instructions as to the required tasks and results expected. Assignments, which provide experience and familiarization with the engineering staff, methods, practices, and programs of the company, are routine with limited judgment on the details thereof and are reviewed for sound engineering practices.

(E-II) Assignments are routine with limited judgment on the details thereof and are reviewed for sound engineering practices. Receives techniques and procedures to be applied to non-routine work. Assignments are screened for unusual or difficult problems.

(E-III) Performs Relay and Control functions requiring advanced electrical designs of GTC's distribution and basic electrical design of transmission substations. Independently evaluates, selects, and applies standard engineering techniques, guidelines, procedures, and criteria using judgment in making minor modifications. May represent the Relay and Control Design functional area as an internal part of corporate teams on assignments with clear and specific objectives and require the investigation of a limited number of variables. Most assignments are completed independently with technical guidance and assistance received only on unusual and/or complex projects. Assignments are reviewed for application of sound engineering judgment.


(E-IV) Performs Relay and Control Design functions requiring advanced electrical design of GTC transmission and basic electrical design of generator interconnection facilities. Independently develops, designs, evaluates, selects and/or applies guidelines, procedures, engineering techniques and technical standards in an economically efficient and sound engineering manner; Exhibits full competency in most aspects of Relay & Control Design functions. Represents the Relay & Control Design functional area as an internal part of corporate teams and in corporate interfaces to Member Systems; May represent Relay & Control with other utilities. Make most decisions on relay and control engineering problems and methods independently with instructions as to the general results expected. Receives technical guidance on unusual and/or complex projects. May be assigned to provide supervision to junior engineers on assigned work.

Education: Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.

Experience:

(E-I) Entry level up to eighteen (18) months experience in the power system environment or electric utility environment.

(E-II) Minimum of eighteen (18) months experience in the power system environment or electric utility environment.

(E-III) Minimum of three (3) years of experience in the power system environment with at least one (1) year in system protection or relay and control design.
(E-IV) Minimum of six (6) years of experience in a power related field.

Specialized Skills: (E-I thru E-III) Knowledge of electrical control theory, Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD), Microsoft products (MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), and distribution protective relays. Ability to interpret one-line, three-line, AC and DC elementary connection, and wiring diagrams for substations.
