"After a decade in the wind energy sector, I'm eager to take on new challenges! Having worked as a data collector at Siemens Gamesa, I've honed my skills in data analysis and process optimization. I'm passionate about problem-solving and driving business success. I'm now looking for a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in coordination, LEAN methodologies, technical writing, or as a personal assistant. #dataanalysis #processoptimization #LEAN #coordinator #techwriter #PA #newjob"

I realize it might strike some as odd, but every day I log on or walk into our team pod, I feel lucky and thankful to be part of the high-performing, hardworking, passionate, and fun-loving team tasked with making #Pacificorp the first entity to go live in the Extended Day-Ahead Market by May 2026. (https://lnkd.in/gnE_66de) As someone who came to a large electric utility from a start-up environment, I have been amazed just how similar this project is to building and launching a big and important effort against many odds, high expectations, and fully visible in the public eye. As my team frequently (and perhaps too often) hears me say, 'The question is not can it be done; But rather, if we had to do it, how would we and what would it take?' As we partner with the #CAISO, vendors, consultants, other utilities, and external stakeholders on the ever-growing list of issues, topics, and challenges that need to be tackled, we assess, listen, work out problems, innovate, adjust as needed, and keep moving. Nobody is pretending things will always be smooth or perfect BUT the team is committed to landing the plane and capturing significant financial and environmental benefits for our customers. As part of this commitment, I'm looking to add some #datascience talent to my current team who will become the founding members of their own larger data science team focused on markets, post go-live. Recent graduates welcome! You will spend the first few months on the job shadowing various teams to help you get a good understanding of utility operations, all while being part of our #EDAM team. While the ideal candidate has some experience in utilities or the energy sector, this is a dual posting for those with and without it. This particular posting is for an entry level person with the right attitude, curiosity and passion to do big things that matter. I'm looking for creative thinkers, team orientation, can do attitude, solid communicators, and those thriving in constantly evolving environments. Given the highly collaborative nature of the team, ideally, I would want the candidate to sit among us in Portland, OR.  Just to get ahead of those thinking "utility jobs are boring places where creativity goes to die", let me be explicit that this is absolutely NOT what you might think a regular old utility job might be like. In fact, I'm confident that the next 20 months on this team will likely be some of the best learning and exposure opportunities you will get anywhere, along with a fantastic team environment where being direct and honest is considered kind, progress matters, and having each other's back is paramount - not only a nice to have. https://lnkd.in/gqTcbzDS Please help me spread the word! #energycareers #datascience #recentgrads #energymarkets #dothingsthatmatter #careerstart #edam #universitygrads

Aloha everyone! My name is A.J. Rivera and I’m sharing my journey on Hawaiian Electric’s social media today to kickoff National Engineers Week! I’m a lead distribution planning engineer for Hawaiian Electric in Maui County. The Distribution Planning Group works on our grid’s distribution circuits, including our substation transformers all the way down to the service transformers which provide power to our residential, industrial, and commercial customers. I also study the effect of distributed energy resources (DER) on the distribution circuits, including solar photovoltaic. Using software modeling, I can study both the present and future effects of different renewables on our grid and propose different ways to maximize each resource on our distribution circuits. I remember at the beginning of my Hawaiian Electric career, one of my first big projects involved spending three days on Molokai, gathering circuit data for future grid improvements. I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I was a kid. As a sophomore in high school, I took a quiz that gave you potential jobs based on your responses. “Electrical engineer” was at the top of my list, and I’ve run with that ever since. I graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. I’ve worked in the oil and gas industry for 10 years before joining Hawaiian Electric on Maui in 2018. In my opinion, one skill that is invaluable to an engineer and isn’t always taught is your interpersonal skills – your ability to communicate your ideas and thought process. Coming up with an elegant engineering solution is one thing; being able to communicate and advocate for your idea so that your stakeholders understand how they will benefit is another. I’ve been an engineer for over 15 years and I still put focus in making improvements in this area. Successful engineers will also need adaptability. The only constant in this career is change. The data you collect for analysis changes. The technology you use for the job changes. You need to be open to change so you can harness it and improve your work each step of the way. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my career and journey. Mahalo to my peers for always inspiring me to do great work. I love being an engineer! #NationalEngineersWeek #engineer #engineering #stem #stemeducation
