Lead and Senior Substation P&C Relay Technician

Description

Conduct commissioning, testing, maintenance, and repair of complex protective relaying schemes across generation, transmission, and distribution substation environments. Operate various electrical test equipment, including Omicron, Doble, and Vanguard, and apply intermediate to strong proficiency with interfacing software such as Test Universe, Protection Suite, AcSELerator, and Wireshark. Facilitate retrofit, upgrade, and replacement projects for electrical controls, SCADA, DCS, and power system protection equipment.

Perform comprehensive testing of over‑current, voltage, directional, distance, impedance, sync check, loss‑of‑field, reverse power, and multifunction relays, as well as function testing of substation control circuits, isolation, setpoint, advanced logic, and scheme testing like reclosing and breaker failure. Execute end‑to‑end relay testing using Doble Protection Suite, RTS, or Test Universe to verify communication‑assisted protection schemes. Install, commission, test, and maintain protective relaying equipment, DFR devices, SCADA systems, distribution automation, and associated communication equipment, while developing standard procedures and generating customer reports detailing problems and corrective actions. Represent the company professionally in all interactions with vendors, customers, and service providers.
