Intranet Workflow & Information Management, Developmental Intern

Summary

At the New York Power Authority, you will be empowered to think big, do good, and transform the energy industry. We are a collaborative team of over 2,400 energy technologists, IT specialists, business experts, hydro engineers, and diverse professionals leading the energy revolution. With state-of-the-art technology, advanced research and development, a modernized infrastructure, and a focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG), we provide New Yorkers with low-cost, clean, reliable power — and we are well on the way to becoming the first end-to-end digital utility in the country.

Reporting on asset documentation involves ensuring that all relevant data regarding equipment and infrastructure is accurately recorded and easily accessible for review. This includes maintaining detailed records of maintenance activities, operational status, and any incidents or irregularities. Site metrics for Supervisors are crucial for monitoring performance and identifying areas for improvement. These metrics provide insights into the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, helping supervisors make informed decisions. Updating form-based workflows to match current approaches in Maximo or Microsoft hosted Power Applications ensures that processes remain streamlined and up-to-date with the latest technological advancements. This not only enhances data accuracy and accessibility but also improves overall operational efficiency.
