Duties will be dependent upon departmental workload and may include any or all of the duties described below.

Engineer II – Electric Substations:

Performs moderate engineering duties necessary for the completion of the department’s goals under the general direction of the Manager-Substation Engineering or designee. Works on smaller projects and portions of larger projects. Some work will be performed with minimal oversight while other work will be performed under the mentorship of various experienced Substation Engineers. Progression towards increasingly autonomous work performance will be expected as experience is gained in Substation design tasks. Duties will be dependent upon departmental workload and may include any or all of the duties described below.

Engineer III – Electric Substations:

Performs complex engineering duties necessary for the completion of the department’s goals under the general direction of the Manager-Substation Engineering. Works on major projects and may act as lead for moderate scope projects, including technical specification development, management of project budgets, contract negotiation, and complete project management. Most work will be performed with minimal oversight while some work may be performed under the mentorship of various experienced Substation Engineers. Progression towards increasingly autonomous work performance will be expected as experience is gained in Substation design related tasks. Duties will be dependent upon departmental workload and may include any or all of the duties described below. This position may supervise Intern employees.

Engineer IV – Electric Substations:

Plans and performs complex engineering duties necessary for the completion of the department’s goals under the general direction of the Manager-Substation Engineering. Acts as a lead for major or moderate scope projects, including technical specification development, management of project budgets, contract negotiation, and complete project management. Work will be performed with minimal oversight in an Engineering Lead capacity. This position provides mentoring to less experienced Substation Engineers while completing comprehensive Substation design assignments. Duties will be dependent upon departmental workload and may include any or all of the duties described below. This position may supervise Intern employees.
