- Select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications
- Analyze systems and equipment to prove operating data and evaluate performance
- Develop new techniques and methodologies for control and integration of diverse energy resources and points of usage
- Use risk-analysis techniques to evaluate the likelihood and consequence of power system changes and risk mitigation measures associated with power system failure modes
- Mentor or lead other engineers on medium sized projects
- Evaluate safety risks/mitigations in O&M context (e.g., short circuit, LV/MV coordination, arc flash)
Qualifications
- BS degree in electrical engineering or related field
- 10+ years of relevant professional experience with electrical power systems
- EPC design experience with large industrial power (petrochemical, oil and gas) and generation design (wind/solar medium voltage collection)
- Experience with power system protection analysis and implementation
- Experience with medium voltage and substation design, SCADA design.
- Field experience with power generation (microgrids, energy storage, engines/turbines, renewables), distribution systems, and operational experience with electric utilities
- Professional Engineer license
