Job Summary:
The ADMS Distribution Systems Engineer will lead and support Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) implementation projects, including system configuration, testing, and commissioning. The role involves working closely with utility stakeholders to analyze power system models, integrate them into ADMS platforms, and optimize distribution management capabilities. The engineer will collaborate with IT/OT teams to support secure integration with SCADA, GIS, OMS, and DMS platforms while providing technical guidance, documentation, and training. The role also focuses on emerging smart grid technologies, Distributed Energy Resource (DER) integration, and utility digital transformation.
Key Responsibilities:
• Lead or support ADMS implementation projects, including system configuration, testing, and commissioning.
• Collaborate with utility stakeholders to analyze power system models and integrate them into ADMS platforms.
• Customize and optimize ADMS capabilities, including Volt/VAR control, Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR), load forecasting, and outage management.
• Conduct power flow, short-circuit, and other relevant power system studies.
• Collaborate with Information Technology and Operational Technology (IT/OT) teams to support secure and efficient integration with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Outage Management Systems (OMS), and Distribution Management Systems (DMS).
• Provide technical guidance, prepare documentation, and deliver training to utility staff and project stakeholders.
• Monitor emerging developments in smart grid technologies, Distributed Energy Resource (DER) integration, and utility digital transformation.
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of professional experience working with ADMS or related distribution management systems.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major ADMS platform, such as GE Grid, Schneider Electric, Siemens Spectrum Power, or Oracle.
• Strong knowledge of electrical distribution systems and utility operational practices.
• Experience conducting power flow, short-circuit, and other electrical distribution system studies.
• Experience supporting real-time systems and SCADA integration.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with clients and technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience with Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS).
• Familiarity with IEC 61850, Common Information Model (CIM), and other utility communication standards or protocols.
• Experience with power system analysis tools such as CYME, PSS®E, PSCAD, or DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
• Familiarity with SCADA, GIS, OMS, DMS, and DERMS platforms.
