Provide technical leadership and supervisory oversight for high-voltage engineering activities associated with utility-scale renewable energy, substation, transmission, collection system, and battery energy storage (BESS) projects.
Supervise and support internal & subcontracted engineers and technical staff responsible for high-voltage system design, engineering reviews, construction support, commissioning, and operational readiness activities.
Perform and oversee quality assurance reviews of high-voltage engineering deliverables, including one line/three line diagrams, relay protection schemes, electrical studies, cable and equipment specifications, interconnection documentation, and construction packages to ensure compliance with project requirements, utility standards, and applicable codes.
Lead technical coordination and problem resolution efforts related to substations, medium- and high-voltage collection systems, transmission interconnections, protection and controls, SCADA integration, and energization activities.
Support development and implementation of engineering standards, design best practices, and value engineering initiatives to improve system reliability, constructability, operational performance, and cost efficiency.
Provide technical input and oversight for project estimating, procurement activities, bid evaluations, vendor selection, and contractor scope and schedule reviews related to high-voltage equipment and systems.
Review and support development of construction and commissioning documentation, including equipment submittals, switching procedures, test plans, outage coordination requirements, commissioning checklists, and turnover packages.
Collaborate with project management, purchasing, construction, operations, utilities, engineers of record (EOR), contractors, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to ensure successful project execution and system integration.
Support resolution of complex technical and field-related issues, including design changes, commissioning deficiencies, equipment performance concerns, outage coordination, schedule impacts, and construction conflicts.
Ensure high-voltage engineering activities and project documentation comply with applicable federal, state, local, utility, OSHA, NESC, IEEE, and other applicable industry codes, standards, and safety requirements.
Promote and reinforce a strong safety culture through active participation in safe work planning, hazard identification, electrical safety compliance, and continuous improvement initiatives.
