Working with Distribution Engineering, the Engineer will perform detailed electrical distribution system design, including, but not limited to the following:

1. Application of SaskPower overhead and underground construction standards and engineering practices.
2. Preparation of construction estimates and construction packages.
3. Feeder coordination studies.
4. Preparation of construction and tender documents.
5. Environmental and archaeological screening of projects to identify the potential environmental sensitivities, permit requirements and potential mitigation that will be required prior to, and during construction.
6. Project management.
7. Hydrovac, daylighting, and surveying.  The Engineer shall procure the resources necessary for any hydrovacing, daylighting and/or surveying requirements from a preapproved SaskPower list of resources.  The Engineer shall also manage these resources.  Hydrovac, daylighting, and surveying involves excavating existing services in an urban setting using a hydrovac so they can be surveyed.  The survey information is then used as input to the Engineer’s design.
8. Field expediting.
1. Line routing site visits.
10. Duct bank construction supervision.
11. Construction Support.
12. Soil condition testing (ground engineering).
13. File Management (obtaining permissions). Example work includes securing land rights and permits for construction projects, communicating with municipal organizations, performing land title searches to prepare easements, managing and prioritizing construction files to ensure customer and maintenance requirements are met, and coordinating Land Agent activities.  This may also include applying for, processing, and working within the obligations of any third-party crossings required to construct the facilities covered by a Scope of Services.
