Job Purpose

Asset Strategy is a new team established to manage National Grid's electric transmission line, distribution line and substation assets across New England. As an Asset strategy engineer, you will develop asset-related strategies which enable the creation of robust, risk-based short-, medium- and long-term asset management plans to optimize electric transmission and distribution network performance. Asset strategy engineers are also responsible for the creation and maintenance of asset health and criticality frameworks and measures. These measures will underpin risk-based asset strategies developed and maintained by this team, which in turn will be used to inform asset replacement needs in capital investment plans for the short (zero to two year), medium (two to 10 year) and Long (10+ year) time horizons. Future ambitions are to enable whole-life costing for key asset families to optimize asset maintain / repair / replace decisions. The team will also build analytical models to yield insights for asset risk or network performance.

Key Accountabilities

• Leverage existing data, asset health and asset criticality information to create actionable asset strategies for key asset families. These asset strategies should quantify existing and desired risk to the business and recommend capital investments needed to maintain or mitigate risk as needed.
• Define data enhancements to improve health modeling and enable whole-life costing to ultimately increase the effectiveness of our strategies to derive maximum value from our assets.
• Support the development of company strategic business plans and future regulatory rate filings as needed.
• Develop asset policies to document and guide the application of asset strategies and inform asset management-based decisions.
• Create and maintain National Grid's Strategic Asset Management Plan defining how our asset management objectives enable the realization of the company's corporate objectives.
• Support the delivery of improvement initiatives identified in the most recent Asset Management Maturity assessment to align the New England electric business with the IS055000 Asset Management Standard.
• Build analytical models to yield insights for asset risk or network performance.
• Stay abreast of asset and risk management best-practices across industry and with peer utilities.
• Provide mandatory normal and off-hours support during emergency response events (i.e. storms). This obligation is required for all employees at National Grid.
