Position Overview

You’re a skilled individual with in-depth facility and operations knowledge and expertise. Combined with your meticulous planning skills, your overall understanding of this field allows you to utilize your experience to support compliance and implement practices that positively impact our projects and initiatives.

- Gather and perform in-depth analysis of data for system outage events. Evaluate data/observations and prepare technical report of findings. Work with Engineering, Vegetation Management, and Operations to make engineering recommendations for corrective actions that will increase system reliability. Track and follow-up on corrective actions to ensure that issues are corrected in a timely manner.

- Develop, review, and approve operational planning analyses for system outages including providing and coordinating support to/from System Operations, Project Management, and Engineering for outage scheduling.

- Provide other technical direction and support related to System Operations and/or Engineering to the System Operators and Management including, but not limited to operational issues, outage coordination, project scope development, SCADA/RTCA, water management, vegetation management, reliability, and protection schemes.
