Electric Transmission Asset Management Engineer/Senior Engineer/Staff Engineer

Job Summary

Dominion Energy Virginia’s Electric Transmission (ET) departments are seeking motivated, engaged engineers to fill several vacancies within the organization. Electric Transmission is the organization responsible for the long-term planning, engineering, construction, and operations of the high voltage electric grid system operated from 69kV to 500kV. The grid is accountable for transmitting electricity from state of the art solar and wind facilities, integrating those technologies into the energy portfolio, and delivering the power to our many 2.7 million customers including the world's largest cluster of internet data centers. This is an exciting time to join our team as we are involved in industry-leading projects and initiatives such as interconnecting 5000 MW of solar generation in the next 5 years, the first utility-owned offshore wind project in United States federal waters off the Atlantic coast, virtual digital protection conversions, and the largest data center load growth in the world all as part of our plan to achieve net zero carbon emission goal by 2050. 

Our organization is seeking talented professionals who are passionate about engineering, technology, data analytics, and innovation. Whether analyzing critical asset data, optimizing business processes, or developing digital solutions, team members play a key role in supporting operational excellence and improving the reliability and efficiency of our electric transmission and distribution systems. 

Electric Transmission is currently hiring. The departments involved will include, but are not limited to, the following groups: 

ET Engineering Standards 

• System Protection Standards: Develop, maintain, and support system-wide standards for transmission and distribution system protection, communications, metering, and control application. Provide expert technical support to other groups for the development and application of protection and control standard designs. The System Protection Standards team also evaluates and recommends new products, applications, and methods to maintain or improve safety, reliability, and efficiency. 
• Transmission Engineering Standards: Develop engineering standard drawings and design requirements for transmission lines. Transmission lines equipment includes towers, engineered poles, conductor and static assemblies, and conductor. Transmission Engineering Standards team is also responsible for developing training for design engineers, equipment vendor selection, and engaging with industry forums and events (IEEE, SEE, CIGRE, EPRI, etc). 
• Substation Engineering Standards: Develop engineering standard drawings and design requirements for substation equipment – substation equipment includes circuit breakers, instrument transformers, larger power transformers, and miscellaneous yard cabinets components. The Substation Engineering Standards team is also responsible for developing training for design engineers, standard material vendor selection and engaging with industry in forums, and events (IEEE, SEE, CIGRE, EPRI, etc.) 

Emerging Technologies & Innovation 

• Standards Innovation Services (SIS): Develop modern solutions to support the Electric Transmission Organization in its work to deliver electricity safely, reliability, and efficiently.  The SIS Team works on workflow optimization, process modernization, configuring/developing forward thinking global solutions for implementation by the Standards, Operations, and Projects organizations.  Recent typical innovative projects are Intelligent Design Suite (i.e. Autodesk design tools), Digital Twin (i.e. LIDAR scans and 3D Model Creation), work management systems, and supply chain standard material process and tool modernization.  Lastly, the SIS team is engaged in industry forums and events (IEEE, SEE, AutoDesk University, SDSIC, etc.)
