• Strong ability to interpret single-line diagrams, electrical drawings, alarms, sequence-of-events data, system trends, and other operating data to support event investigation, power-quality analysis, and system performance assessment

• Working knowledge of applicable industry standards, electrical safety practices, and AESO/NERC/Alberta reliability requirements relevant to T&D operations and bulk electric system support, including approved facility ratings and FAC-008

• Experience with high-voltage substations and T&D assets such as transformers, breakers, protection systems, and reactive devices

• Experience with SAP, Microsoft Office, engineering reports, stewardship reporting, and digital operating platforms is considered an asset

Responsibilities:

• Provide day-to-day technical support to T&D Operations by monitoring real-time and near-real-time system conditions, including voltage, frequency, loading, alarms, abnormal states, and restoration readiness, and by supporting outages, operational events, abnormal system conditions, on-call coverage, and after-hours consultation as required

• Identify, assess, and communicate system risks through daily and weekly operational reviews, supporting issue prioritization, alarm governance, mitigation planning, and alignment with operating priorities

• Maintain and communicate T&D operating envelopes, system limits, standing instructions, operating procedures, approved facility ratings, and applicable FAC-008 requirements, and apply these in day-to-day operational guidance in coordination with certified operating personnel

• Prepare outage endorsement and risk review documentation for planned outages, switching activities, special configurations, and non-standard operating scenarios, recommending mitigation measures as needed

• Maintain operating single-line diagrams and support improvements to supervisory displays, control room visibility, and overall system understanding

• Lead or support power-quality analysis, system studies, event investigations, and performance reporting by reviewing alarms, sequence-of-events data, protection/relay records, and operating trends to support event response, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, KPI tracking, and risk repository updates

• Provide technical input to projects, turnaround planning, and cross-functional improvement initiatives to improve system operability, resilience, and execution quality
