About the Responsibilities
An Electric Engineer or Senior Electrical Engineer, Reliability Engineering, applies and further develops their knowledge, experience, and skills to provide Engineering support to the organization to ensure suitable reliability, availability and maintenance of electrical equipment at the Central Arizona Project.
This role is well suited for an Electrical Engineer who has knowledge and experience with large motors, transformers, and other substation equipment and wants to apply and further develop their knowledge and skills related to equipment health assessment, evaluation, and engineering support activities through both formal and on-the-job training. This job is for you if you enjoy both in-office engineering work and time in the field around the equipment you are evaluating and supporting.
The Electrical Engineer, Reliability Engineering, is a key member of CAP’s asset management team and will use analysis, experience, and organization support to make near term and long term recommendations for equipment maintenance, modification, or replacement. They will regularly perform assessment, evaluation, and engineering support activities for large synchronous motors and generators, transformers, backup power generator sets, excitation systems, circuit breakers, switchgear, protective relays, UPS systems, facilities, cable systems and other auxiliary equipment. This includes high, medium and low voltage systems.
Some of the specific duties include:
Use, manage, and further develop asset condition assessment models that use predictive maintenance data to compute condition scores and grades for all major assets.
Utilize maintenance history and condition assessment data to recommend adjustments to equipment maintenance plans and to drive near-term and long-term capital decisions related to asset repair/refurbishment/replacement.
Support and oversee predictive maintenance programs such as motor circuit analysis, transformer electrical equipment testing, transformer oil analysis, and thermography.
Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for major equipment failures and provide front line engineering support including troubleshooting and problem solving for major electrical equipment.
Utilize reliability engineering tools, methods, and best practices [Condition Based Monitoring (CBM), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)] to evaluate equipment and recommend improvements to achieve optimum equipment performance, safety, and reliability at minimum cost.
Support the development, review, and modification of maintenance procedures, guidelines, and schedules for electrical equipment.
