About The Position
The Engineer works collaboratively with Design, Construction, Operating and Maintenance workgroups to identify, justify and initiate projects for optimum electric subtransmission system development (bulk supply substation, 34 kV and 69 kV lines, distribution substation), renewable distributed energy resource (DER) integration, and provides various technical support.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop conceptual design for new facilities, collaborate with other workgroups to reach consensus, and issue engineering documents to initiate design and construction.
- Establishes, communicates, and reinforces expectations for superior personnel safety performance.
- Prepare load & DER forecasts and perform power flow and reliability studies for the Ameren power delivery and electric subtransmission system.
- Develop and maintain expertise in power systems analysis utilizing PSSE and other tools. Perform special studies and participate in research as needed.
- Use computer modeling techniques and engineering expertise to assess electric subtransmission system adequacy and to identify the optimum size, configuration, DER hosting capacity, and timing of changes to facilities.
- Support economic analyses to evaluate project alternatives including non-wire-alternative (NWA) solutions.
- Develop operating information which serves as a knowledge base for responding to various contingency conditions on the power delivery system including Transmission.
- Provide support to operating groups in responding to specific contingency conditions, including the impact of planned facility outages.
- Evaluate system load additions and renewable solar, wind, battery storage, and other DER generator interconnections.
- Emergency call-out for storm restoration.
- Prepare engineering reports, produce engineering planning criteria and guidelines. Organize responses to ICC data requests.
- Collaborate with Field Engineering and other departments, functions, and companies in joint studies and/or to provide technical support.
Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering, preferably with an emphasis in power, from an accredited college or university required. Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) certification or P.E. (Professional Engineer) registration preferred. Experience in power system analysis or related fields preferred. Experience with PSSE, Python, and/or Visual Basic programming preferred.
