• Familiarity with NETA testing standards and NFPA 70B condition-based maintenance.
• Experience building, scaling, or insourcing a testing program or maintenance team.
• Experience with DCS/PLC systems, VFDs, protective relaying, and substation equipment.
ATTRIBUTES
• Takes initiative, is proactive in addressing issues, and completes tasks efficiently.
• Communicates effectively in writing and verbally, and adapts style to influence, persuade, negotiate, and engage.
• Assumes responsibility, prioritizes, and responds to multiple tasks under potentially stressful and/or hazardous conditions.

POSITION SUMMARY
The Supervisor, I&E – High Voltage leads a specialized team of instrumentation and electrical technicians responsible for the safe operation, maintenance, and testing of medium- and high-voltage electrical equipment across midstream facilities. Beyond day-to-day supervision, this role carries a strategic mandate\: to build and grow an in-house high-voltage testing capability by transitioning the team from writing permits and coordinating third-party testing contractors toward directly performing medium- and high-voltage electrical testing.
The successful candidate will assess current team capabilities, develop technician skills and qualifications, standardize testing procedures and equipment, and progressively reduce reliance on external testing contractors — all while strengthening equipment reliability, personnel safety, and regulatory compliance.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Leadership & Team Development
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of high-voltage I&E technicians; set performance expectations, provide feedback, and build long-term bench strength.
• Assess current team capabilities against the skills required to perform MV/HV testing, and build a structured training, qualification, and mentoring roadmap.
• Grow the group as scope and staffing expand; foster a culture of ownership, safety, and accountability.
• Provide training and technical support to technicians and cross-functional partners.
Electrical Equipment Testing Capability
• Establish standardized testing procedures, methods, and acceptance criteria aligned with NETA MTS and NFPA 70B condition-based maintenance practices.
• Develop a standardized equipment testing program — insulation resistance, power factor / tan delta, VLF, transformer turns ratio, contact and winding resistance, and protective relay testing (primary and secondary injection).
• Develop technician qualification programs so all testing is performed safely by qualified personnel under a clear competency standard.
• Progressively reduce reliance on external testing contractors while maintaining reliability, safety, and schedule, retaining contractor support strategically where it makes sense.
Maintenance, Reliability & Compliance
• Oversee installation, troubleshooting, testing, and maintenance of MV/HV equipment — substations, switchgear, breakers, transformers, protective relays, substation and branch feeders, variable frequency drives, and associated controls.
• Implement and maintain preventive and condition-based maintenance programs, aligning PM intervals with NFPA 70B.
• Champion electrical safety; ensure compliance with NFPA 70E and applicable codes, proper permitting, lockout/tagout, and safe work practices.
• Interpret and maintain P&IDs, one-line diagrams, and complex electrical drawings; ensure drawings and documentation are kept current.
Planning & Coordination
• Coordinate and prioritize testing and maintenance activities with Operations to maximize equipment availability and minimize unplanned downtime.
• Plan and schedule outages, turnarounds, and testing campaigns; manage workload, priorities, callouts, and overtime.
• Support budget development and cost control, capturing savings as in-house capability reduces contractor spend.
• Communicate effectively with technicians, Operations, Engineering, and third-party stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
