This role involves hands-on work with energized equipment in below-grade, enclosed spaces, testing and commissioning protection and control systems, and supporting SCADA-based monitoring. The engineer ensures that electrical protection systems function correctly to safeguard the grid, responds to system emergencies, and works closely with customers and internal teams to maintain high levels of service and customer satisfaction.

Responsibilities

Install, operate, maintain, and repair Network Underground Systems across multiple locations, including Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, Augusta, Athens, Savannah, and Valdosta.
Work safely on energized equipment up to 600 VAC in enclosed, below-grade spaces, following all safety policies and procedures.
Write, review, and execute switching orders for medium voltage equipment (4 kV to 25 kV), ensuring safe and accurate circuit switching.
Utilize hot line tools to perform medium voltage circuit switching and related operations in underground distribution systems.
Test, commission, and maintain electrical protection and control systems within power substations to ensure proper operation and grid protection.
Perform routine and scheduled testing and calibration of protective relays, control circuits, and other substation equipment using specialized test equipment.
Set up, commission, and verify new protection and control systems during construction, upgrades, or modifications of substations and underground networks.
Troubleshoot and diagnose faults in protection and control systems, identify root causes, and perform necessary repairs or adjustments.
Interpret test results and analyze data to identify potential issues, trends, or anomalies, and prepare clear reports for engineers and maintenance teams.
Perform routine maintenance and preventive care on protection and control equipment to ensure optimal performance and minimize failures.
Support the development, implementation, and maintenance of SCADA system monitoring technologies and sump pump controllers for underground networks.
Write and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control drawings to support testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning activities.
Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation, respond to system emergencies, and address operational concerns as they arise, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Respond to customer inquiries, including voltage concerns, claims, and service issues, and provide timely, accurate information and solutions.
Communicate effectively with high-profile customers and internal stakeholders to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction and service quality.
Collaborate with engineers, sales teams, corporate partners, and field crews to plan work, resolve issues, and support project and maintenance activities.
Ensure strict adherence to safety procedures, including lockout/tagout practices, while working in high-voltage and confined-space environments.
Use MS Office and engineering software to document work, maintain records, prepare reports, and support planning and analysis.
Organize and prioritize multiple tasks and assignments to meet deadlines and maintain high-quality work output.
Demonstrate and promote a strong safety culture and adherence to organizational values, including safety, trust, performance, and commitment.

Essential Skills

Strong understanding of electrical power systems, distribution systems, and principles of protective relaying.
Expertise in using specialized testing equipment such as relay testers, power quality analyzers, and communication test sets.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control drawings.
Knowledge of substation automation systems, including SCADA, and familiarity with communication protocols.
Proficiency in troubleshooting and problem solving for protection and control systems and related equipment.
Knowledge of underground construction practices and network underground systems.
Ability to write and execute switching orders for medium voltage systems (4 kV to 25 kV).
Capability to work safely on energized equipment up to 600 VAC in enclosed, below-grade spaces.
Proficiency with MS Office and engineering software for documentation, reporting, and analysis.
Strong organizational and prioritization skills to manage multiple tasks and assignments.
Excellent oral and written communication skills for interaction with customers and internal teams.
Ability to build and maintain effective relationships with customers, engineers, sales teams, corporate partners, and field crews.
Commitment to safe work practices and adherence to safety policies in high-voltage and confined-space environments.
Self-motivation and ability to work independently while following through on assignments to completion.
Valid Georgia drivers license.
Ability to access below-grade, confined spaces using ladders (25 ft+).

Additional Skills & Qualifications
