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.
