Distribution Wildfire Engineer (Entry, Staff, Senior, Principal)

Support distribution wildfire mitigation by focusing on Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS) and asset health initiatives in high fire risk areas. Collaborate with operations teams on inspection programs, review ignition events, validate mitigation effectiveness, and help drive continuous safety improvements.

• Use and apply technical standards, principles, theories, concepts, and techniques of limited scope
• Develop and support technical documentation including designs, testing, calculations, reports, and standards
• Provide ongoing technical support to operations activities such as maintenance, testing/diagnostics, and regulatory
• Provide field engineering oversight for commissioning, testing, and inspections under direct supervision
• Review ignition events and help validate the effectiveness of mitigation programs to drive continuous improvement

This is an entry-level engineering role supporting technical standards-based work, engineering documentation (designs, testing, calculations, reports, standards), and field engineering oversight for inspection/testing/commissioning activities. The work centers on EPSS and mitigation validation for continuous improvement in wildfire safety measures.

The ideal candidate is an entry-level distribution electrical engineer focused on wildfire mitigation and EPSS (Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings). They understand inspection programs and asset health initiatives in high fire risk areas, and they can support engineering oversight for testing, inspections, and commissioning under supervision. They stay current with engineering technology advancements and industry best practices and contribute to continuous improvement by reviewing ignition events and validating mitigation programs.
