Job Summary

Under general direction, this role demonstrates complete understanding and wide application of engineering technical principles, theories, and concepts in the field. The engineer independently determines and develops approaches to solutions, receives technical guidance on complex problems, and has completed work reviewed for adequacy in meeting objectives. The person will be responsible for automated field devices (i.e., capacitor banks, protection devices) deployment that includes system study, settings development, working with design/field personnel, updating the device database, and getting devices into advanced distribution management systems. The person may also need to help in assessing advanced metering functionalities and provide technical support to field personnel. A typical day involves working with automated field databases, monitoring devices, and meter functionality testing. This is an individual contributor role operating in an office environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Uses and applies technical standards, principles, theories, concepts, and techniques to perform activities/assignments that may include a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements, unsuitability of conventional materials or methods, and difficult coordination requirements.
• Supports the development of technical documentation (including but not limited to designs, testing, calculations, reports, standards, etc.); utilizes and may assist with the development of procedures requiring a broad knowledge and proficiency in a specialty area and has a general knowledge of related disciplines.
• Works under the general direction of a higher-level engineer or supervisor for routine engineering projects; provides ongoing technical support for project activities within areas such as Operations, Maintenance, testing/diagnostics, and Regulatory; may provide field engineering oversight and/or direction for activities such as commissioning, testing, inspections, etc.
• May lead small-medium, non-critical projects; coordinates/leads critical projects or portions of projects (including phases such as research, design, equipment selection, procurement support, installation, and commissioning) under the direction of a higher-level engineer or supervisor; work reviewed upon completion for adequacy in meeting objectives.
