Title: Engineer I - Sr. (Varies) 
Company: Tampa Electric Company 
State and City: Florida - Tampa
Shift: 8 Hr. X 5 Days

 

 

POSITION CONCEPT: This position is responsible for the engineering and design of Tampa Electric Company’s (TEC) distribution system, focused on new construction and capital projects. This position will establish relationships with customers and local agencies to determine the requirements for providing service. The Engineer will design and manage projects using TEC tools, and create the necessary permit and construction drawings. The Engineer will be responsible for the successful coordination of the project with TEC departments to completion.
 

POSITION DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
1.    Meet with customers and/or their agents (Customers) to conduct needs and feasibility assessments on multiple construction projects and load additions of varying scale. Manage the schedule and required completion dates of different design phases. 
⦁    Manage communication to all involved entities concerning any updates in the design schedule or other changes with potential impact, documenting updates through letters and emails, as necessary.
⦁    Coordinate and manage the design activities between TEC Planning & Scheduling, Field Construction, Operations, the Customer, and any other ED Departments.
⦁    Oversee contracted design work and coordinate internal processes as needed.
2.    Create and manage work requests (WR) in the Work Management System (WMS). 
3.    Perform analysis to determine the most economical and reliable solutions for customers and the TEC distribution system. 
⦁    Calculate and analyze customer load for proper sizing of TEC facilities
⦁    Design and determine TEC facility locations
⦁    Design to NESC and TEC specifications, providing pole loading analysis, cable pulling calculations, ruling span calculations, clearances, motor start calculations, voltage drop, and sag calculations.
⦁    Adhere to Florida Administrative Code (Tariff)
4.    Using TEC’s geographical information system (GIS), design the proposed and update existing electrical features (company assets). Establish all specifications in GIS, such as the correct electrical connectivity, proper supporting structures, and all compatible units (CU) for materials and labor. Resolve any identified errors in GIS, ensure all GIS task types are linked to the WMS WRs, and export GIS material data to WMS.
5.    Produce and/or oversee the production of construction prints for construction, operations, and/or contractors: 
⦁    Verify and approve that locations of TEC’s existing and proposed equipment and any third party infrastructure (water, sewer, storm, gas, telephone, and cable lines) are adequately identified on the construction prints, and equipment specifications are captured.
⦁    Based on the scope of construction and company safety standards, determine necessity and scale of Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan that Field Construction, Operations, and/or contractors would need for completing work in the right-of-way.
⦁    Prepare GIS prints to submit to regulatory agencies for DOT, City, County, or other required governing agency permits.
⦁    Generate construction prints that clearly communicate the plan of work to the field crews.
6.    Produce construction cost estimates (including labor, materials, and vehicle) and obtain/calculate projected four year revenue as needed. Determine and communicate the need for Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construction (CIAC) charges to customers based on TEC revenue shortage/excess costs.
7.    Access and inspect energized equipment and install current/voltage recording devices for troubleshooting. Troubleshoot customer voltage complaints using various instruments; such as recording ammeters, voltmeters. Install, program, and download voltage monitoring devices, analyze results, and utilize engineering skills and practices to resolve customer voltage complaints.
8.    Using visual and physical procedures, investigate, examine, and test the integrity of TEC distribution facilities to determine the need for replacement or upgrade.
9.    Interpret plans for large projects of relative complexity, such as road widening, intersection improvements, and relocations of infrastructures. Identify all impacted TEC facilities and reconcile the final design, protecting TEC’s assets and satisfying the local agency requirements. Provide engineering for large master-planned developments and large commercial projects including malls, retail, and schools.
