Responsibilities

Endeavor to become a generation controls subject matter expert

Balance of in-the-field and office-based analysis training guided by industry-renowned experts

Office work at engineer’s home office (location independent throughout USA) consists of analyzing field data, developing test plans, prepping for field work, calculating mathematical models, running simulations, and documenting analysis results

Field work takes place at large power plants (hydro, combustion turbines, thermal/ nuclear turbines, wind, photo-voltaic, battery energy storage system) throughout the USA consisting of directing generation resource through a series of planned tests and capturing data to be used for analysis

First 2-4 years, there is a balance between field work and office work

The new hire will initially refine their understanding of industry fundamentals and learn a gamut of generator controls, power systems skills, controls tuning and simulations, and compliance related topics

Due to the high-barrier-to-entry regarding analysis, new hires will primarily train for the first 1-2 years of employment to harness concepts/skills necessary to capture data in the field as an independent operative

This involves hands-on interaction with instrumentation, control systems, and protection systems of Bulk Electric System generation under the guidance of experienced team members
