Leads the development of long-term plans for repair, refurbishment or replacement of critical water delivery assets, having a significant impact on capital budget planning. Develops and refines equipment condition assessment models based on technical standards and industry best practices. Engages with other entities and professional societies to stay current on trends and new technologies related to asset health and equipment reliability.
Protective Relays – Assessment, evaluation and engineering support activities for digital protective relays, electromechanical relays, arc flash, electrical testing, and related electrical equipment including large synchronous motors and generators, transformers, backup power generator sets, excitation systems, circuit breakers, switchgear, UPS systems, facilities, cable systems and other auxiliary equipment. Includes high, medium and low voltage systems.
Electrical Equipment – Assessment, evaluation and engineering support activities for large synchronous motors and generators, transformers, backup power generator sets, excitation systems, circuit breakers, switchgear, relays, UPS systems, facilities, cable systems and other auxiliary equipment. Includes high, medium and low voltage systems.
Some of the specific duties include:
- Support the development and administration of an integrated maintenance program for all CAP facilities that incorporates preventive/predictive maintenance (ppm) industry best practices.
Develop, review, and modify maintenance procedures, guidelines and schedules for electrical, mechanical, and other equipment and structures. Write and adjust ppm procedures and frequencies as necessary. Provide standardization in ppm procedures and frequencies.
Utilize industry best practices (Reliability-Centered Maintenance, Condition-Based Monitoring, Root Cause Failure Analysis, Key Performance Indicators, etc.) to provide continuous improvement and optimum equipment performance, safety and reliability at minimum costs.
Oversee predictive maintenance programs such as infrared thermography, vibration analysis, lube and transformer oil analysis, and electrical equipment testing.
Establish Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) documents and records for equipment history review. Analyzes and recommends improvements.
E. Develop and manage asset condition assessment models that use predictive maintenance data to compute condition scores and grades for all major assets.
F. Utilize maintenance history and condition assessment data to recommend adjustments to equipment maintenance plans and to drive major long-term capital decisions related to asset repair/refurbish/replacement.
Why This Job Is Awesome
CAP is an engineering marvel. You will get to work on a plethora of different projects and systems. CAP has over 100 large synchronous motor assets, ranging from 700hp to 60,000hp.
