Position Summary

The Applied Technology Services (ATS) staff provides advanced analytical, modeling, testing, and risk assessment services across multiple disciplines to support company organizations in identifying, quantifying, and addressing complex operational and asset-related risks. The team develops and applies statistical, probabilistic, and machine learning-based approaches to evaluate system performance, asset condition, degradation trends, and probability of failure, enabling data-driven decision making for reliability, resilience, and lifecycle management.

Staff integrate and analyze diverse data sources to develop predictive models, risk metrics, and analytical tools that support asset strategy, maintenance planning, investment prioritization, and operational decision making. Services include asset health assessments, reliability and risk evaluations, failure investigations, scenario analyses, and development of quantitative methodologies for complex infrastructure systems, including transmission and distribution assets, distributed energy resources, and generation facilities.

The team provides technical consultation and analytical insights to internal clients, helping organizations proactively manage risk and improve asset performance through the application of advanced modeling techniques, data analytics, and industry best practices. Staff collaborate with business and technical stakeholders to develop analytical solutions, support project proposals, and communicate complex model results and risk insights to decision makers. Incumbents maintain knowledge of and adhere to all company and regulatory safety, quality, and governance requirements.

This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and your assigned work location based on business need.
