Description
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) manages the flow of electricity across the high-voltage, long-distance power lines that make up 80 percent of California's power grid. We safeguard the economy and well-being of 30 million Californians by operating the grid reliably 24/7.
As the impartial grid operator, the California ISO opens access to the wholesale power market that is designed to diversify resources and lower prices. It also grants equal access to 25,865 circuit-miles of power lines and reduces barriers to diverse resources competing to bring power to customers.
The California ISO's function is often compared to that of air traffic controllers. It would be grossly unfair for air traffic controllers to represent one airline and profit from allowing that company's planes to go through before others. In the same way, the California ISO operates independently—managing the electron traffic on a power grid we do not own—making sure electricity is safely delivered to utilities and consumers on time and reliably.
The California ISO is committed to the health, safety, and work/life integration of it employees and is proud to offer flexible work arrangements. This position would be eligible to participate in a hybrid or local remote schedule.
Relocation Assistance is available.
Under the general direction of the Director, Transmission Assets, works on complex engineering assignments and provides expertise in support of Transmission Asset activities. Ensures the ISO is in compliance with the Transmission Control Agreement (TCA) and is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of the ISO Transmission Maintenance Standards with respect to transmission facility (stations and associated equipment) maintenance. Partners with lead engineer to administer the Transmission Register and works with internal and external stakeholders to ensure the TR data is accurate. Supports the ISO planning process phase three competitive solicitation process.
What's In It For You?
An opportunity to work on interesting and challenging assignments involving the operations, maintenance, and planning of the California ISO controlled transmission system. You will play a key role in the strategic vision of the California ISO. Join an innovative organization that is working hard at keeping its reputation as a leader in the energy industry! Your Work Would Consist Of:
Responsible for the implementation and enforcement of the ISO Transmission Maintenance Standards. Conducts maintenance reviews of each PTO’s maintenance records and facilities. Analyzes results from the annual maintenance reviews, standard maintenance reporting system, and availability measures to identify any positive or negative trending, and makes appropriate recommendations to the ISO and PTOs that will result in overall improvements to grid reliability. Reviews and approves equipment rating entries for the Transmission Register (TR) for internal and external stakeholders. Provides substation expertise and joint oversight in implementing the ISO Transmission Planning Process Phase III competitive solicitation process. Partners with and supports the Regional Transmission Engineering, Grid Operations, and others within the ISO to understand and resolve identified transmission facility related issues. Trains and mentors others concerning transmission facilities and their function. Resolves transmission facility maintenance related stakeholder issues. In partnership with the lead transmission assets engineers, identifies areas to improve the functionality of the group and the overall department.
