Remote Utility information

What is a remote utility?

A Remote Utility job typically involves monitoring, managing, or supporting utility services such as electricity, water, or telecommunications from a remote location. Responsibilities may include data analysis, troubleshooting system issues, coordinating with field teams, and ensuring service reliability. This role often requires technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and familiarity with remote monitoring tools. It allows professionals to contribute to utility operations without being physically on-site, improving efficiency and response times.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the remote utility position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Utility worker, a solid background in utility services (such as electric, water, or gas), troubleshooting skills, and relevant trade certifications or technical training are essential. Familiarity with remote monitoring tools, data management systems, and geographic information systems (GIS) is typically required. Strong communication, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to work independently make candidates stand out in this position. These competencies are vital for effectively maintaining and supporting utility operations from a distance, ensuring rapid response to service issues and consistent system reliability.

What are the typical challenges faced by remote utility workers, and how are they managed?

Remote Utility positions often require handling technical issues and system monitoring without being physically present on-site, which can pose communication and troubleshooting challenges. Workers frequently interact through digital platforms and must depend on accurate remote diagnostics and clear reporting to field crews. To manage these challenges, effective use of remote monitoring technology and close collaboration with on-site teams are crucial. Many organizations provide ongoing training and robust communication tools to help employees succeed in the remote environment.

Job description

FindTalent is hiring a highly skilled Substation Commissioning Engineer to support critical utility infrastructure projects across the U.S. This remote-based role is ideal for a technically proficient professional who can work independently while traveling full-time to high-voltage substation construction sites. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and executing the commissioning, testing, and operational verification of substation systems up to 500kV.

This role plays a key part in ensuring systems are installed correctly, operate reliably, and meet all design and compliance requirements. While the position is remote, it requires 100% travel to various project sites nationwide, with per diem, travel support, and regular paid trips home.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead substation commissioning activities for transmission and distribution projects from pre-energization through closeout.

  • Perform and supervise functional testing of protection and control systems, relays, and high-voltage equipment.

  • Validate field installations against engineering drawings and technical specifications.

  • Troubleshoot equipment and system issues, recommend solutions, and direct corrective actions on-site.

  • Develop and manage commissioning procedures, isolation plans, outage schedules, and safety protocols.

  • Collaborate closely with field crews, testing teams, and client stakeholders to ensure safe and efficient commissioning.

  • Review and approve test results and verify correct equipment operation per system design.

  • Coordinate with engineering to identify and address design conflicts or field modifications.

  • Ensure documentation is complete and accurate, including test reports, redlined drawings, and regulatory submissions.

  • Provide real-time updates to project management and maintain consistent communication with all stakeholders.

Education, Skills & Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (foreign equivalents accepted).

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in substation field commissioning, construction, or protection & control engineering.

  • Strong working knowledge of substation equipment and protection schemes, including relay logic and SCADA integration.

  • Proficiency with relay testing and communication software such as Enoserve RTS, Doble Protection Suite, SEL Compass, and AcSELerator Quickset.

  • Familiarity with NETA, IEEE, and utility specifications related to substation construction and testing.

  • Experience testing and commissioning equipment such as breakers, transformers, CTs, PTs, relays, panels, and battery systems.

  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills in field environments.

  • Ability to read and interpret complex electrical drawings and system schematics.

  • Must possess a valid, unrestricted driver’s license.

  • Must pass drug screening and background checks.

  • Must be a U.S. Citizen or legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.

  • Willing and able to travel 100% for extended periods; per diem and scheduled paid trips home are provided.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with substation commissioning for voltage levels up to 500kV.

  • Familiarity with SEL, GE, and ABB digital relays.

  • Previous leadership in field-based substation or utility projects.

  • Working knowledge of construction sequencing and safety practices for energized environments.

Benefits & Compensation:
Our client offers a robust and competitive benefits package, including:

  • Competitive Base Salary (Dependent on Experience)

  • Full Per Diem and Paid Travel Support

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance

  • 401(k) with Employer Match

  • Paid Time Off and Holidays

  • Life and Disability Insurance

  • Opportunities for Career Development and Specialized Training

Equal Opportunity Employer:
FindTalent is committed to creating an inclusive workplace and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We welcome applications from all qualified individuals, including veterans and those with disabilities. If accommodations are needed during the recruitment process, we are happy to assist upon request.

If you are a self-driven engineering professional ready to take the lead on commissioning high-impact utility projects nationwide, we encourage you to apply.
