About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Analyze smart meter interval data, SCADA data, operational telemetry, and predictive alert outputs to identify and prioritize potential transformer and electric distribution system defects.
Develop engineering-driven insights to support asset health monitoring, reliability improvement initiatives, and wildfire risk mitigation strategies.
Evaluate overhead and underground distribution line conditions, transformer performance indicators, and protective device behaviors using operational and historical system data.
Perform distribution engineering analysis including feeder loading evaluation, circuit behavior assessment, and power flow interpretation to support operational recommendations.
Utilize large-scale datasets, including historical defect records, inspection reports, outage data, and operational performance metrics, to improve predictive model accuracy and reduce false positive rates.
Collaborate with data analytics, machine learning, and engineering teams to validate and refine predictive algorithms and anomaly detection methodologies.
Partner with Field Operations, Protection & Control (P&C), Distribution Planning, and Asset Management teams to investigate field conditions and validate engineering assessments.
Conduct root cause analysis and technical investigations related to transformer failures, line defects, and abnormal distribution system behavior.
Support development of engineering recommendations, risk prioritization frameworks, and corrective action plans based on predictive analytics findings.
Prepare technical reports, engineering summaries, and operational recommendations for internal stakeholders and leadership teams.
Participate in field visits, operational reviews, and engineering assessments as required.
Ensure compliance with utility engineering standards, operational procedures, safety requirements, and regulatory guidelines.
