• Support system hardening, reliability improvement, and grid modernization initiatives.

Field & Operations Collaboration

• Work closely with distribution operations, construction, and maintenance teams to ensure designs are constructible, safe, and operationally sound.

• Provide field engineering support, including site visits, constructability reviews, and resolution of complex field issues.

• Support storm response, damage assessments, and system restoration efforts as needed.

Project & Program Leadership

• Serve as the engineering lead for large-scale or high-risk distribution projects.

• Support capital planning, feeder improvement programs, and infrastructure replacement initiatives.

• Provide engineering input for project scope, cost estimates, schedules, and risk assessments.

• Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external partners, including contractors, municipalities, and regulatory agencies.

Standards, Mentorship & Continuous Improvement

• Develop, maintain, and improve distribution engineering standards, specifications, and design guidelines.

• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level distribution engineers and designers.

• Review and approve engineering deliverables for technical accuracy and adherence to standards.

• Evaluate new technologies, materials, and methods to enhance distribution system performance and reliability.
