You'll play a key role in assessing future electricity demand, identifying network constraints and developing the distribution and sub-transmission solutions required to safely and reliably accommodate major new loads.
The Role
Working within the
electricity and energy infrastructure sector
, you'll undertake and contribute to network planning activities across distribution, sub-transmission, zone substation and upstream networks.
Your responsibilities will include:
Monitor and forecast
network loading, utilisation and future capacity requirements
Undertake
network modelling, load-flow and contingency analysis
Assess the network impact of
major new connections and large electrical loads
Identify emerging network constraints, risks and capacity limitations
Develop planning requirements for
distribution and sub-transmission network augmentation
Assess requirements for
zone substations and upstream terminal station infrastructure
Develop and evaluate technically and economically viable network augmentation options
Apply appropriate
risk assessment and management techniques
to network planning decisions
Prepare and contribute to
RIT-D and RIT-T assessments and reports
