- Act as a support resource to Field P&C staff for the access to, or use of, PCMIS and or DME work files and/or configurations/settings for commissioning or maintenance needs.
- Initiate NOEA process workflows based on system events and notifications as directed. Communicate with field stations personnel to identify and recover the relevant data records from field relaying and relevant equipment in a timely manner for analysis.
- Prepare and submit reports on completion of work, or at significant stages of progress, for Supervisor's review and/or approval.
- Create/support work packages (Hierarchy Requests, ISPs) for LV protection elements to be stored in the System of Record (currently PCMIS). Support Distribution Lines LOBs in works package compliance.
- Assist in the development and modification of computer programs for processing statistical data and producing output reports.
- Provide ongoing operation of the downloading facility including routine checks on both the health of the master station and the remote Disturbance Monitoring Equipment (DME) and satellite clocks. Assist in support for both analog modems and network protocols. Work with senior staff and field staff to provide direction and issue work notifications to repair remote DME failures of equipment or communications equipment. Ensure that defect reports for DME are correctly processed to provide reliable asset performance data.
- Participate in elements of the P&C training program. Provide support for device information gathering and document development.
- Maintain DME device records in the Protection and Control Management Information System (PCMIS). Draft review proposed configuration changes. Ensure that DME configuration changes are performed, as required.
- Perform reviews on settings and installation hierarchy for newly installed protection, telecommunications, metering and control equipment and the associated items of power equipment. Examine pertinent specifications and drawings and discuss with design and functional groups as necessary, to ensure system of record completion. Discuss concerns with senior staff where equipment issues arise. Review designs and Drawings for record accuracy.
