Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a Distribution System Operator within the Control Center of a top utility company. The main responsibilities include real-time management and grid operation, handling outages and emergencies, providing clearance zones for crews to perform their work, creating switch plans, and maintaining power to the public. The role involves managing the grid for approximately 300,000 customers in western Wisconsin. A typical day involves monitoring the grid, managing outages and emergencies, creating and executing switch plans, and coordinating with field crews to isolate and restore equipment. The work is shift-based, requiring 24/7 monitoring, including nights, weekends, and holidays. The work environment is a mix of individual and collaborative work. While the operator will work alone during shifts, there is collaboration with field crews and other team members for planning and executing tasks. The position supports a team environment but primarily involves individual work. The key players include field crews, engineers, and upper management. The operator will also interact with customers during outages. The resource will support both internal (field crews, engineers, management) and external customers (public utility customers). The position involves shift work with a six-week rotation, including 12-hour shifts (5:30 AM to 5:30 PM or 5:30 PM to 5:30 AM) and an 8-hour day shift. Weekend shifts are 12 hours each. Overtime is possible, with some weeks requiring up to 48 hours of work. This position is starting at 40/hr
