Position Overview

The Lead Protection & Control (P&C) Relay Technician performs senior-level installation, testing, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of protection, control, and automation systems within electric utility substations and related facilities. This role supports the safe and reliable operation of transmission and distribution systems by ensuring relays, control circuits, SCADA/RTU systems, and associated equipment perform according to engineering design, utility standards, and regulatory requirements.

This position may also provide technical guidance, field leadership, quality review, and coordination support to junior technicians, construction crews, engineers, system operators, and utility personnel.

Work assignments, responsibilities, and task complexity may vary depending on classification, including Technician, Journeyman, Cable Splicer, or other IBEW Local 102 designations, as outlined in the applicable collective bargaining agreement.

Key Responsibilities

Protection & Control Testing & Commissioning

Perform functional and acceptance testing of protective relays, control circuits, and substation devices.
Conduct end-to-end testing including CT/PT verification, polarity and phasing checks, trip testing, interlock verification, and system integration checks.
Support commissioning of new or upgraded protection schemes such as feeder, transformer, bus, line, breaker failure, differential, and other protective functions.
Validate protective relay settings, logic, wiring, and control functions in accordance with engineering documentation.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Perform scheduled and corrective maintenance on protective relays, SCADA systems, RTUs, switchgear control circuits, and associated equipment.
Investigate system events, alarms, and misoperations and assist in retrieving and interpreting relay event records and oscillography.
Diagnose issues involving AC/DC control circuits, communications links, power equipment, and automation systems.

Installation & Field Support

Install, route, terminate, and verify control wiring, grounding conductors, relay panels, and control devices.
Assist with substation upgrades, relay replacements, panel retrofits, and modernization initiatives.
Collaborate with construction crews, engineers, and utility personnel to ensure installations meet safety and design requirements.
SCADA, Communications & Integration
Assist with SCADA, RTU, and IED communication testing including point-to-point verification with control centers.
Support configurations involving protocols such as DNP3, Modbus, and IEC 61850, including GOOSE/MMS, depending on system requirements.
Validate status, analog signals, and control functions for remote monitoring and automation systems.

Documentation & Quality Control

Maintain accurate documentation including test reports, redlines, as-found/as-left conditions, and commissioning records.
Review and interpret drawings such as one-lines, three-lines, AC/DC schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts.
Ensure configuration files, relay settings, and system records are updated and retained per company and regulatory requirements.

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

Work in accordance with all safety rules, procedures, PPE requirements, and lockout/tagout protocols associated with high-voltage environments.
Follow established switching procedures and hazard controls for energized and de-energized work.
Support compliance activities associated with internal standards and applicable reliability requirements, including NERC PRC testing intervals when applicable.

Collaboration & Communication

Coordinate with system operators, engineers, construction teams, and other field crews to execute work safely and efficiently.
Communicate job status, site conditions, and system readiness clearly and professionally.
Provide technical guidance and field support to junior technicians when needed.
Participate in ongoing training and development in accordance with IBEW Local 102 standards and employer requirements.

Qualifications

Completion of IBEW apprenticeship, accredited electrical program, cable splicer training, or demonstrated equivalent field experience.
Experience with relay testing equipment such as Omicron, Doble, Megger, or similar tools is strongly preferred.
Strong knowledge of electrical protection principles, substation equipment, SCADA/RTU systems, and AC/DC control systems.
Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, one-lines, three-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, relay settings, panel layouts, and commissioning documentation.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with a commitment to detail, safety, and high-quality work.
Prior experience supporting electric utility substation, transmission, distribution, or protection and control projects preferred.

Additional Requirements

Valid driver’s license.
Ability to lift equipment, climb, bend, and work in field substation conditions.
Willingness to work overtime, shifts, call-outs, and travel based on project and operational needs.
Ability to work in accordance with union requirements, utility standards, and applicable safety procedures.

Working Conditions

Work performed in utility substations, control houses, switchyards, and other field locations.
Exposure to weather, energized equipment, loud noise, and industrial conditions requiring appropriate PPE.
Work hours may vary based on system outages, commissioning schedules, or emergency response needs.
