  • To be eligible for the technical capability test, candidates must have at least five years of discipline-specific or combined substation, relay, or distribution/transmission linework experience, or prior relevant Operations Coordinator experience with SVP approval.
  • Advanced safety leadership in planning, including identifying complex hazards, shaping high-risk work strategies, and integrating Life Critical Rules, engineered controls, and safe work practices into documentation and job packages.
  • Expert knowledge of distribution standards, system configuration, materials, and construction methods, with QA/QC discipline, design validation, and resolution of technical discrepancies.
  • Ability to prepare and review complex outage plans, switching strategies, and system operating configurations aligned with reliability needs and support responses to emergent events.
  • Ability to integrate execution readiness and coordinate cross-functionally to eliminate barriers and support safe, efficient field execution.
  • Ability to coach planners and field personnel, anticipate field challenges, develop practical solutions, and improve planning processes and job package quality.

Responsibilities

  • Identify hazards specific to transmission lines and substations; determine when EWP/BMAD analysis is required; integrate Life Critical Rules, grounding schemes, MAD/BMAD requirements, LOTO/clearance steps, and transmission safe-work practices into work plans; and ensure specialty equipment and controls are ready before work starts.
  • Validate transmission work packages against structure standards, conductor/OPGW installation practices, hardware assemblies, foundation requirements, and substation equipment specifications; perform site, structure, and access assessments; and resolve discrepancies with Engineering, Design, Environmental, ROW, or Permitting to produce field-ready plans.
  • Prepare switching packages, clearances, isolation points, breaker lineups, tagging requirements, and outage sequencing; collaborate with the Transmission Control Center to validate feasibility; and apply outage tools, operating procedures, and restoration processes during planned and emergent events.
  • Verify structure access, crane/tensioning setups, conductor paths, environmental/ROW needs, logistics, specialized equipment, and materials; coordinate with Transmission Construction, Dispatch, Warehouse, Environmental/ROW, and contractors to remove delays.
  • Support crews by clarifying technical expectations, anticipating constructability issues involving rigging, tensions, structure conditions, and protection impacts, solving planning-phase challenges, participating in post-job reviews, and intervening when work-package or switching-plan gaps could affect safety or execution quality.
  • Be available to work additional hours, in alternate locations, or perform additional duties during storms, outages, emergencies, or other situations as needed.
