The Planning Engineer plays a key role in the strategic planning design and execution of cable-related infrastructure for the transmission network and substations. The ideal candidate will possess extensive experience in managing and coordinating large-scale cable projects including the planning of both overhead and underground cables as well as substation cable systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Transmission and Substation Cable Planning:
- Lead the planning and design of transmission and substation cable systems including both medium and high-voltage cables ensuring they meet performance safety and regulatory requirements.
- Oversee the development of routing plans installation methods and cable specifications.
- Conduct in-depth load flow studies and fault analysis for the design and optimization of transmission cable systems and substation connections.
Project Management and Execution:
- Plan schedule and manage the execution of cable installation projects ensuring all work is completed in compliance with quality safety and environmental standards.
- Monitor and update project schedules ensuring alignment with overall transmission network goals and timelines.
Design & Technical Leadership:
- Lead the design review process for cable installations on transmission lines and substations ensuring designs are technically sound and feasible.
- Provide advanced technical guidance on cable system layout routing connections and protection schemes.
Advanced Data Analysis and Reporting:
- Analyse cable system performance load flow data and fault occurrences to identify potential improvements in network reliability and efficiency.
- Prepare detailed technical reports and presentations for senior management stakeholders and regulatory bodies highlighting key findings project progress and recommendations.
Cost Control and Resource Management:
- Lead the development of cost estimates material requirements and labour resources for cable projects.
- Monitor project expenditures and ensure resources are allocated efficiently recommending cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality.
