Oncor Electric Delivery

* Typical day would include CAD and all CAD related software support for Transmission Engineering company-wide, including Midland, Odessa, Big Springs, Sweetwater, Wichita Falls, DFW, Lufkin and Tyler.
*  I've learned ProjectWise management, Microsoft products, Windows 7, MicroStation v8i and DeCartes.
* Management is in general good, however, there is much change in the hierarchy at the current time and many managers could use some training with management skills.
* Co-workers are very receptive to learning the use of the drafting tools and also treat you like family.
* The hardest part of the job was trying to assist over 600 employees with all their needs and doing so in a timely manner. Assistance included hardware, software, upgrades, training, setting up drafting tools for the employees, coordinate changes with Bentley and our IT group.
* The most enjoyable part was helping someone work much more efficiently and the gratitude they showed. It was also great to assist with special projects and be recognized as top performer with CAD and a variety of graphic (illustrations) related projects.

I began on new development and then maintained after Market Open.
A typical day at work would begin with checking for any reported night processing problems.   I would also get calls from the client with data problems that I would assist with. 

Once problems are resolved then I would turn to requested changes to the application.    I would meet with the client and the IT team to gather business requirements.   The client relied on the IT staff's knowledge of the application to point out possible problems in the business requirements and to offer alternate solutions.   The IT staff must be aware of both the PUC (Public Utility Commission) and ERCOT (Electric Reliability Commission of Texas) regulatory governance. 
I would write technical specifications, code, test and document changes to the application and perform 24/7 on-call rotation.

I enjoyed, most, the diversity of my job.

A typical day consisted of copying maps on the plotter, folding maps in accordance with policy, printing reports, copying pertinent documents.  All required to "build" a job package for the master file, field construction coordinator file and contractors files.
  
Reconciling purchasing cards.  Processing accounts payable for the vendors included in building the jobs and providing engineering services.

Fleet vehicle management, i.e., vehicle inspections, vehicle registrations, vehicle maintenance, i.e., oil changes, inspecting vehicles for flaws, tire rotation, purchasing new tires.

Maintaining employee vacation calendar.

Ordering office supplies.

Planning catered luncheons.

All companies can learn from each other to serve customers better. I was self motivated to learn more how companies can be more successful and I learn a lot how to best help my company do better. When I received my master’s degree in HR the opportunity to move forward was very limited. I was very appreciative that I work for a good company. The opportunity to take care of my family help me to focus and do my best. I tried to make a difference inside the company and outside the company. I had one of the largest service areas that included Harker Heights Texas to  Round Rock Texas and I stayed very busy, but it was okay, because I was helping the customer get service that was extremely needed in most cases. To achieve 36 years, 8 months and 16 hours on my last day at work is something I will always be very proud of. 



always work available. hard with a family tho. I’ve really enjoyed my time working here overall. The people are friendly, and most days the environment feels positive and supportive. Management communicates fairly well, and I’ve always felt comfortable asking questions or getting clarification when I need it. The workload can get busy, but it’s usually manageable, and the team is good about helping each other out when things stack up. I’ve also appreciated the flexibility with scheduling and the chance to learn new skills along the way.

There are a few areas that could be improved, mainly with consistency and organization. Sometimes priorities shift last minute, which can be a little stressful, and certain processes could be clearer. Still, it’s a solid place to work with good people and room to grow. Overall, I’d give it four stars and would recommend it to others.

I worked for Oncor as an intern P&C Technician. I was on a crew where two guys were completely rude to me and refused to help me learn the material after about 2 months. They were constantly telling the manager that I was not working when I would ask for things to do and the manager was buddy buddy with these two guys and even though the other employees stated that I was in a really good spot knowledge wise I was told that I would not receive a full time offer. The pay is great but the people are not. Also, they do not allow employees to take time off until after 6 months of being there and when you have an emergency or are sick they act angry that you are missing work while management is out weekly on PTO. 

The rank and file at Oncor are some of the best you'll find. Linemen should be considered first responders IMO. However, they are very sensitive to governmental pressure especially from the City of Dallas. This pressure has caused the company to for lack of a better term, "Go Woke". Pressure to have a diverse  workforce has caused the company to remove tenured solid leadership and replace them with appointments with no utility experience but rather hire on the basis of s3xual orientation and minority classification. Its really sad. This company is on the downward path. 

I'm a loyal person who is a deicated individual that works hard to get the job done with a safe attitude in a timely manner, although i have experience in the electriv field and customer service as well as working efficiently on my own. I'm a team player who works well with others and have the ability to perform the job duties with the goal of serving and restoring service for our customers safety. I am seeking a position where i can learn from fellow employees and develop my skills to excel while giving my best to an employer that is well respected in the community.

Oncor is the type of company where as long as you are ready to work, they will take care of you. Management always portrayed that we have a job to do, and we will do it. Oncor keeps the lights on and that is a 24/7/365 job. That can be hard, but with your fellow team members you can do it. There was always support if needed, and Seniors are very willing to teach, if you will actually listen. Everyday might show up with a whole new situation that no one has encountered before, so you have to be ready and roll with the incoming information. Oncor is an amazing company to work for, and it was my pleasure to learn and work with my co-workers within Oncor.

Daily data entry. Purchasing, Issuing.
I have learned how dangerous of the electric delivery is and how to fully protect crews and the public.
On the management side of things i learned how to accept and deal with extreme deadlines.
Oncor has a great diversified culture,
The most difficult part was working 80 plus hours a week.
The fun part was working with the different communities with fundraising.
