Electrical Engineer

Role Summary

We are seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (PEng/PE) with proven experience in distribution protection engineering, with a strong focus on fuse coordination, sectionalization, and reliability improvement studies for utility distribution networks in the state of Georgia. The ideal candidate will have direct utility experience and hands-on proficiency with distribution modeling platforms such as EasyPower, CYME, ASPEN, or similar tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform detailed fuse coordination studies for overhead and underground distribution feeders.
• Conduct sectionalization studies to enhance system reliability, reduce outage impacts, and optimize protective device placement.
• Review, analyze, and develop protection schemes involving fuses, reclosers, sectionalizers, and breakers.
• Calculate fault currents, evaluate protective device performance, and verify time-current coordination (TCC) curves.
• Develop feeder improvement plans aimed at enhancing reliability indices (SAIDI/SAIFI/CEMI).
• Prepare recommendations for fuse sizing, device relocation, protective device upgrades, and system reinforcement.
• Apply Georgia utility protection standards, ensuring compliance with NESC, IEEE, and local utility guidelines.
• Produce engineering deliverables including coordination plots, settings tables, engineering reports, and documentation packages.
• Collaborate with utility planning, operations, and field engineering teams to support project execution.

Qualifications

• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE / P.Eng) — Georgia PE preferred; eligibility for comity is acceptable.
• 5+ years of experience in distribution protection, planning, or reliability engineering.
• Proven expertise in fuse coordination, sectionalization, fault studies, and protection device analysis.
• Proficiency in modeling tools such as EasyPower (preferred), CYME, ASPEN OneLiner, or DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
• Strong understanding of utility protection standards, NESC, IEEE standards, and Georgia-specific utility practices.
• Excellent analytical abilities, communication skills, and technical documentation experience.

Preferred Experience

• Previous work with Georgia utilities (Georgia Power, EMCs, or similar organizations).
• Experience with recloser programming (SEL, Eaton Cooper).
• Knowledge of DER impact assessments, feeder modernization, and grid reliability improvement projects.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $66, $79,852.55 per year
