Summary

Reporting to the Manager of Lifecycle Maintenance Engineering, the Sr Substation Engineer will be part of AltaLink’s Operations department. The Lifecycle Maintenance Engineering team’s goal is to direct the optimization and balance of cost, risk and performance for AltaLink’s power system assets and systems throughout their lifecycle. This is done by assessing and trending risk, capital/operating expenditures and system performance; by applying lifecycle models and methodologies; and by creating a long-term view of maintenance activities and corresponding investment requirements. By understanding the cost, risk and performance implications of asset management decisions, AltaLink ensures that the needs of the power system are balanced with the needs of end users.

The Sr Substation Engineer is a member of a small team of subject matter experts supporting the definition, implementation, and evolution of lifecycle plans and assessments for AltaLink’s substation equipment. The Substation Engineer will lead condition monitoring activities, conduct comprehensive life cycle assessments for substation equipment and components, analyzing performance, reliability, and efficiencies through the equipment’s operational lifespan with the goal of optimizing maintenance, refurbishments and replacements.

  • Develop and implement comprehensive preventative maintenance programs for substation equipment to enhance the longevity and reliability while optimizing the effectiveness and efficiency of offline maintenance.
  • Analyze data from numerous expert systems and data sources, including operational and conditional data, historical records and failure reports, industry resources, to determine trending and make recommendations for future upgrades, replacements, and refurbishments of station equipment. Explore new methods and focus on continued improvement to the existing health and risk-based tools used for asset expenditure planning and replacement selections including the establishment of health indices and failure curves.
  • Evaluation of online asset monitoring technologies considering the integration into AltaLink’s systems to facilitate proactive and data-driven maintenance, real-time visibility and early fault detection. Develop maintenance programs for these devices, including troubleshooting and replacement plans.
  • Provide technical direction for development of the annual Scope of Work (SOW) and long-range plan (LRP).
  • Support substation asset replacement selections through AltaLink’s Capital Replacement and Upgrade (CRU) programs and defend the asset selections in AltaLink’s General Tarriff Application (GTA).

  • Provide technical and on-demand support in the analysis and resolution of system disturbances and undesirable equipment performance.
  • Investigate and resolve systemic substation equipment defects and deficiencies.
  • Perform end of life expectancy assessments and equipment condition assessments.
  • Provide innovative solutions for system reliability, safety and efficiency improvements.
  • Perform substation equipment sparing assessments.
