Smart Grid Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About The Position

It has never been a more exciting time to work in the energy industry. The electric distribution grid is in transformationtoa smarter, more resilient, cleaner, and greener (solar, wind) grid.Advanced systems for grid monitoring and control will be at the forefront of these efforts. This position requires an Engineer to collaborate with a talented team within Digital and Operations to design, implement, andmaintainour leading-edge technology suite known as the Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS). Our ADMS platform isutilizedwithin our Distribution Control Center and provides operators with real time awareness and control of the Ameren Distribution electric grid serving over2.4 million customers.From a more technical perspective the ADMS platform iscomprisedof an industry leading vendor solution including SCADA - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, Outage Management, Distribution Management (maps and switching), Voltage Optimization, and other advanced functions. In addition, we have integrated the platform with many other corporate systems and technologies to enable interaction with ourCustomersreporting and checking power outages, and field service/mobile workers responding to those situations.

In thispositionyou will be involved in crafting and building the future of electric utility operations.

The ADMS system has a 24x7x365 availability requirement and so applicant willbe requiredto provide offhourssupport as needed.

A diverse technology portfolio keeps the ADMS system operational, technologies include: VirtualVxRailLinux and Windows Servers, Multiple Database technologies (Oracle,SqlServer, Cassandra), Palo Alto Firewalls,MulesoftEnterprise Service Bus, Splunk SIEM, Dynatrace Application Monitoring, GIS Mapping of electrical components to their physical location in ERSI based map systems.
