Job Satisfaction at SA Power Networks

Developing work methods, scope and technical specifications. Assisting in design clarifications and engineering and on site supervision.

Preparing for Network Emergencies, improving processes, initiating projects

I work across two different teams. As a distribution planner I prepare plans for transferring load away from equipment for maintenance etc., assist with load forecasting, prepare specifications for substation upgrades and identify when the network needs to be augmented to accommodate customer loads. Mid-way through my current 6-month graduate rotation I was also given the opportunity to work in the generation planning team assessing embedded generation enquiries.

My current rotation on the Graduate Program is in the SCADA Engineering Team. My day-to-day responsibilities in this role include working on several projects to install, configure and test SCADA equipment.
