Position Summary:

The Engineer II position is the intermediate level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees in the Engineer II position solve complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with general supervision. An Engineer II is expected to develop advanced skills, and the ability to work with greater independence. An Engineer II effectively applies fundamental concepts and procedures to work that is fairly complex and varied.

The Engineer III position is the advanced level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees in the Engineer III position solve complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with limited supervision. An Engineer III is expected to develop advanced skills, and the ability to work with greater independence. An Engineer III effectively applies fundamental concepts and procedures to work that is progressively complex and varied.

The engineer on this position will work with the distribution Supervisor Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) modeling tools. This is an office based position which requires interaction with several other teams, such as the Distribution Management Systems (DMS) Checkout team, Grid Engineers, Grid Techs, Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) Advanced Functions, Standards, project managers, and others. The engineer will learn how to model different devices in SCADA, such as Reclosers, Regulators, and Substations, and will then, transition to create and maintain several scripts used to support all modeling activities. The focus of the work will be in DEC (Duke Energy Carolinas), but this engineer will also support and work closely with the other jurisdictions DEF, DEP, and DEM (Florida, Progress, and Midwest).
