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.

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).
Collaborate with cross-functional teams during CRU project scope development and execution.
Maintain, support upgrades, provide oversight, and administration of engineering databases and integrations (e.g., Doble, TOA, Cascade, CABA, Fail/Saves).
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.
