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. The Engineer will design and manage projects using TEC tools, create the necessary permit and construction drawings, and coordinate the project with TEC departments to completion.

• Meet with customers and/or their agents 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.
• 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.
• Create and manage work requests (WR) in the Work Management System (WMS).
• 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).
• Using TEC’s GIS, design the proposed and update existing electrical features; establish all specifications in GIS, resolve any identified errors, link GIS task types to the WMS WRs, and export GIS material data to WMS.
• 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 that equipment specifications are captured.
• Determine the necessity and scale of Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan needed for completing work in the right-of-way.
• Prepare GIS prints to submit to regulatory agencies for DOT, City, County, or other governing agency permits.

• Access and inspect energized equipment and install current/voltage recording devices for troubleshooting. Troubleshoot customer voltage complaints using various instruments; install, program, and download voltage monitoring devices, analyze results, and resolve complaints.
• Investigate, examine, and test the integrity of TEC distribution facilities to determine the need for replacement or upgrade.
• Interpret plans for large projects of relative complexity, such as road widening, intersection improvements, and relocations of infrastructure; identify all impacted TEC facilities and reconcile the final design, protecting TEC’s assets and satisfying local agency requirements; provide engineering for large master‑planned developments and large commercial projects including malls, retail, and schools.
