The primary focus of the risk assessment processes is identification of risk and ensuring eliminating or mitigating practices are implemented as applicable.
JOB DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES:
Implements risk control processes throughout transmission by providing input and direction to other groups on the interpretation of the process and procedure for all aspects of the Capital and O&M portfolio which could impact nuclear, industrial customers and other strategic customers. Implementation also involves fulfilling the following:
    • Provide/develop technical reviews of work strategies and documents pertaining to execution of work tasks being performed by all organizations within transmission.
    • Review documents developed to execute protection and control projects and/or maintenance tasks for accuracy pertaining to existing protection schemes and relay prints.
    • Apply knowledge of engineering principles as it pertains to protection and control.
    • Review outage durations to ensure they are appropriate and that no additional opportunities exist to shorten based on scope of work.
    • Review construction strategy to best reduce outage exposure and identify alternative construction practices that may reduce this exposure.
    • Identify risk by reviewing drawings and supporting documents associated with the work planned to take place and ways to manage, mitigate, or eliminate risk while identifying potential work bundling opportunities
    • Identifying mitigations that may include reviewing work instructions, isolations, station onelines, and by-pass options.
    • Serve as a primary contact for questions related to completing risk assessments while working in a team environment evaluating the reliability risk associated with activities in one or more of the following key areas; relay protection schemes, operations and planning, substation and transmission line practices

These organizations will be challenged by asking them project specific questions pertaining to the above mitigations as necessary.
    • Lead critical evolution meetings with all necessary stakeholders centered on the risk profile of the tasks and projects being evaluated
    • Provide input to design engineers, construction engineers, planning, and project managers on ways to reduce the reliability risk while developing their project scope of work.
    • This input will consist of identifying when long duration outages add exposure to critical customers and when design engineers and construction engineers will need to develop alternative construction strategies.
    • Actively participate in project team meetings to discuss risk profiles in early development stages of proposed projects
