Description

The role requires technical ownership of design for high‑voltage (4 kV‑230 kV) and extra‑high‑voltage (above 230 kV) substation projects. Responsibilities include developing general arrangements, plan and elevation views, grounding and cable‑trough/conduit plans, specifications for major primary equipment, documentation of design calculations, and bill of materials. The engineer will also produce construction documentation, perform bus fault stress analysis, and provide technical support for procurement and construction while working closely with physical designers and other discipline engineers.

Coordination with external and internal team members—such as transmission, distribution, civil, geotechnical engineers, and surveyors—is essential to identify and address design interdependencies. The engineer must maintain high‑quality work, support continuous improvement, and thrive in a fast‑paced, multi‑project environment. They will assist in identifying key client interests, communicate these to the project team, act as a technical specialist for system protection and communication, remove impediments, and advise management on maximizing ROI.

• Produce GA, plan/elevation, grounding, and cable‑trough/conduit drawings.
• Develop equipment specifications, bill of materials, and design calculation documentation.
• Create construction documents, perform bus fault stress analysis, and size station service/battery systems.
• Provide technical support for procurement, construction, and system protection/communication.
• Coordinate with transmission, distribution, civil, geotechnical engineers, and surveyors.
• Lead client technical review meetings and convey client drivers to the project team.
• Remove engineering impediments and advise management on ROI improvement.

Requirements

A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, a professional engineer license, and at least seven years of experience in high‑voltage substation physical design are required. Proficiency with AutoCAD or Bentley MicroStation and with CDEGS, WinIGS, or similar tools for lightning and grounding studies is essential, along with strong knowledge of NEC, NESC, and the mechanical/thermal effects of fault currents. Preferred qualifications include expertise in outage sequencing, constructability, operation and maintenance, scope writing, QA/QC, managing direct reports, proposal writing, project estimating, and familiarity with scheduling and project‑control processes.

• Own design of 4 kV‑230 kV and >230 kV substation projects.
• Require EE B.S., PE license, and 7+ years of substation physical design experience.
• Proficient in AutoCAD/Bentley MicroStation and CDEGS/WinIGS for grounding studies.
• Strong knowledge of NEC, NESC, and mechanical/thermal effects of high fault currents.
• Preferred: outage sequencing, constructability, O&M knowledge, QA/QC, scope writing, proposal & estimate preparation, and project scheduling/control expertise.
