PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Meet with customers and/or their agents (Customers) 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 construction phases.
- Manage communication to all involved entities concerning any updates in the
construction schedule or other changes with potential impact, documenting updates
through letters and emails, as necessary.
- Coordinate and manage the construction activities between TEC Planning &
Scheduling, Field Construction, Operations, the Customer, and any other ED
Departments.
- Represent customers in weekly POW meetings with all involved TEC departments.
2. Create and manage work requests (WR) in the Work Management System (WMS). Divide jobs
into phases/crews, establishing an associated WR for each of the different TEC construction
phases/crews involved: including overhead line crews, underground line crews, service
crews, grounding contractors, project conduits, and crossing conduits. Enter and continually
update targeted schedule dates, work status, and other project details in WMS for all
associated WRs.
3. 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)
4. Using TEC’s geographical information system (GIS), design the proposed and update existing
electrical features (company assets). Establish all specifications in GIS, such as the correct
electrical connectivity, proper supporting structures, and all compatible units (CU) for
materials and labor. Resolve any identified errors in GIS, ensure all GIS task types are linked
to the WMS WRs, and export GIS material data to WMS.
5. Produce and/or oversee the production of construction prints for Field 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 equipment specifications are
captured.
- Based on the scope of construction and company safety standards, determine
necessity and scale of Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan that Field Construction,
Operations, and/or contractors would need for completing work in the right-of-way.
- Prepare GIS prints to submit to regulatory agencies for DOT, City, County, or other
required governing agency permits.
- Generate construction prints that clearly communicate the plan of work to the field
crews.
6. Produce construction cost estimates (including labor, materials, and vehicle) and
obtain/calculate projected four-year revenue as needed. Determine and communicate the
need for Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construction (CIAC) charges to customers based on TEC
revenue shortage/excess costs.
7. Access and inspect energized equipment and install current/voltage recording devices for
troubleshooting. Troubleshoot customer voltage complaints using various instruments, such
as recording ammeters, voltmeters. Install, program, and download voltage monitoring
devices, analyze results, and utilize engineering skills and practices to resolve customer
voltage complaints.
8. Using visual and physical procedures, investigate, examine, and test the integrity of TEC
distribution facilities to determine the need for replacement or upgrade.
9. Interpret plans for large projects of relative complexity, such as road widening, intersection
improvements, and relocations of infrastructures. Identify all impacted TEC facilities and
reconcile the final design, protecting TEC’s assets and satisfying the local agency
requirements. Provide engineering and project management for large master-planned
developments and large commercial projects including malls, retail, and schools.
10. Support the service area Operations Engineer for reliability issues, customer complaints, fuse
sizing and coordination, load balancing, capacitor maintenance, and overall circuit
improvement, as necessary. Assist in the investigation and response to Public Service
Commission inquiries.
