Job description

Are you a recent engineering graduate eager to apply your academic knowledge to real-world power systems? At LCRA Transmission Services Corporation (TSC), our mission is to enhance the quality of life for Texans by ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient delivery of high-voltage electricity across the state. As a Reliability Engineering Associate, you will play a crucial role in maintaining our grid’s stability by analyzing equipment performance, investigating equipment health, and developing proactive strategies to prevent outages. This role offers a strong entry point into Reliability Engineering, with opportunities to learn from industry experts, collaborate on impactful projects, and grow your career while making a difference in communities across Texas. How You’ll Contribute:

  • Leverage data visualization tools (Power BI, SQL) to continuously monitor transmission equipment health, identify trends, and drive condition-based maintenance strategies.
  • Investigate equipment failures and system incidents to determine root causes, implementing targeted corrective and preventive measures to eliminate recurrence.
  • Partner with maintenance teams to optimize preventive schedules, develop robust procedures, and execute strategies that extend the operational life of critical transmission assets.
  • Conduct comprehensive reliability assessments to pinpoint network vulnerabilities, designing mitigation strategies against extreme weather, cyber threats, and other operational disruptions.
  • Work seamlessly with operations, maintenance, and construction departments to align asset management strategies and achieve shared corporate reliability goals.
  • Identify process inefficiencies and develop innovative technical solutions to proactively enhance overall system reliability and performance.

Requirements

Do you have a valid Driver’s License license?, Do you have experience in Technical engineering?, * Bachelors degree in engineering, engineering technology, engineering physics, biosystems engineering, mathematical science, physical science or related science.
