  About the Responsibilities

The position with a Protective Relay focus is well suited for an Engineer who already has in-depth protective relay knowledge and first-hand design, commissioning, or testing experience or an Engineer with related electrical equipment experience and some protective relay experience who wants to further develop the knowledge and skills related to protective relays through both formal and on-the-job training.

The position with an Electrical Equipment focus is well suited for an 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 Electrical Equipment assessment, evaluation, and engineering support activities through both formal and on-the-job training.

An Electrical Enginee (https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/capaz/classspecs/1374426?keywords=reliability%20engineer&pagetype=classSpecifications) r (or Senior Electrical Engineer (https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/capaz/classspecs/1374427?keywords=reliability%20engineer&pagetype=classSpecifications) ) for Reliability Engineering, is a strategic role whose purpose is to prevent system failures along the Central Arizona Project. Provides reliability engineering services as a member of an asset management team responsible for the reliability, availability and maintenance of pumping plants, water conveyance systems and facilities for the Central Arizona Project (CAP).

Utilizes technical expertise, field experience and knowledge of equipment to lead the effort to continually evaluate and refine equipment maintenance plans at CAP. Leads the development of long-term plans for repair, refurbishment or replacement of critical water delivery assets, having a significant impact on capital budget planning. Develops and refines equipment condition assessment models based on technical standards and industry best practices. Engages with other entities and professional societies to stay current on trends and new technologies related to asset health and equipment reliability.

Protective Relays – Assessment, evaluation and engineering support activities for digital protective relays, electromechanical relays, arc flash, electrical testing, and related electrical equipment including large synchronous motors and generators, transformers, backup power generator sets, excitation systems, circuit breakers, switchgear, UPS systems, facilities, cable systems and other auxiliary equipment. Includes high, medium and low voltage systems.

Electrical Equipment – Assessment, evaluation and engineering support activities for large synchronous motors and generators, transformers, backup power generator sets, excitation systems, circuit breakers, switchgear, relays, UPS systems, facilities, cable systems and other auxiliary equipment. Includes high, medium and low voltage systems.

Some of the specific duties include:

1. Support the development and administration of an integrated maintenance program for all CAP facilities that incorporates preventive/predictive maintenance (ppm) industry best practices.

• Develop, review, and modify maintenance procedures, guidelines and schedules for electrical, mechanical, and other equipment and structures. Write and adjust ppm procedures and frequencies as necessary. Provide standardization in ppm procedures and frequencies.

• Utilize industry best practices (Reliability-Centered Maintenance, Condition-Based Monitoring, Root Cause Failure Analysis, Key Performance Indicators, etc.) to provide continuous improvement and optimum equipment performance, safety and reliability at minimum costs.

• Oversee predictive maintenance programs such as infrared thermography, vibration analysis, lube and transformer oil analysis, and electrical equipment testing.

• Establish Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) documents and records for equipment history review. Analyzes and recommends improvements.

E. Develop and manage asset condition assessment models that use predictive maintenance data to compute condition scores and grades for all major assets.

F. Utilize maintenance history and condition assessment data to recommend adjustments to equipment maintenance plans and to drive major long-term capital decisions related to asset repair/refurbish/replacement.

Why These Jobs Are Awesome

CAP is an engineering marvel. You will get to work on a plethora of different projects and systems. CAP has over 100 large synchronous motor assets, ranging from 700hp to 60,000hp. Large power transformers, high, medium and low voltage systems. CAP is in the middle of replacing electromechanical relays to SEL digital microprocessor relays for this equipment. In the Protective Relay focus position, you will be exposed to synchronous motor protection, feeder protection, bus protection, transformer protection, communication aided tripping schemes, generator protection, relay event analysis, arc flash analysis and mitigation. In the Electrical Equipment focus position, you will be exposed to asset condition health elements such as motor and transformer testing as well as major maintenance activities such as stator rewinds.

Either position will challenge and expand your technical knowledge and professional skills. As a Engineer at CAP you will have the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary engineering team setting with the opportunity to go out in the field as much as required to perform site visits, construction, troubleshooting, and commissioning support. Find real purpose in your career by joining CAP’s dedicated team to reliably manage and deliver Colorado River water to Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima counties.
