Description
data collection
design review
diagram production
grounding design
electrical calculations
quality control
The engineer will support research, concept development, and construction of electrical utility distribution systems, power regulation, renewable energy, and protection and control systems across varied contexts such as utilities, transportation, buildings, and government projects. Responsibilities include generating accurate reports and documentation, ensuring designs meet industry standards for safety, functionality, and quality.
Key duties involve collecting and analyzing data on substation components, reviewing third‑party designs, creating single‑line and wiring diagrams, designing grounding and lightning protection, and developing equipment sizing and cable layouts. The engineer will also produce calculations, visualizations, and technical reports, maintain quality‑control procedures, and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to meet specifications, permits, and regulatory requirements.
- Collect and compile data on substation components, equipment specifications, and pricing for procurement packages.
- Review third‑party design documents, procurement lists, and project plans for compliance.
- Produce single‑line, three‑line, wiring, and general arrangement diagrams, as well as substation layout and bus arrangements.
- Design grounding grids, lightning protection systems, and conduit/trenching strategies meeting safety standards.
- Support senior engineers with research, component recommendations, and field equipment applications.
- Verify site characteristics and provide technical assistance for engineering, testing, and construction issues.
- Perform electrical calculations for loads, equipment sizing, feeder sizing, voltage drop, grounding, lighting, and power distribution.
- Create data visualizations, tables, charts, sketches, and detailed technical reports.
- Maintain quality‑control procedures for measurements, statistical analysis, and reporting.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to execute project installations, cost estimations, and regulatory compliance.
- Assist in scoping and developing small‑ to medium‑sized projects and prepare technical presentations.
- Conduct engineering studies and field surveys to inform design solutions and risk mitigation.
- Contribute to the preparation and implementation of site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs).
- Uphold ethical decision‑making regarding company resources and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct.
