Multidiscipline engineering and surveying firm delivering renewable energy, infrastructure, power delivery projects.
The role carries technical ownership of all design aspects for high‑voltage (4 kV–230 kV) and extra‑high‑voltage (above 230 kV) substation projects. Key tasks include producing general arrangements, plan and elevation views, grounding and cable‑trough plans, specifications for primary equipment, and detailed design calculations. Additional duties involve bus fault stress analysis, support for procurement and construction, collaboration with physical designers, and coordination across disciplines such as transmission, distribution, civil, geotechnical, and surveying engineers.
The engineer must deliver high‑quality work in a fast‑paced, multi‑project environment, identify client interests, communicate them to the project team, and develop approaches that address those concerns. As a technical specialist for system protection and communications, the individual will remove impediments, advise management on ROI optimization, and attend all client technical review meetings.
Required qualifications include a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from an accredited program, a professional engineering license, and at least seven years of experience in high‑voltage substation physical design. The candidate must be proficient with AutoCAD or Bentley MicroStation, and with CDEGS, WinIGS, or similar tools for lightning and grounding studies, as well as skilled in assessing mechanical forces and thermal effects of high fault currents. Strong knowledge of industry trends, NEC, and the National Electrical Safety Code is also essential.
Preferred experience encompasses understanding outage sequences, constructability, and operation and maintenance considerations, as well as the ability to define scope, perform QA/QC, and manage direct reports. Experience in proposal writing, project estimating, and familiarity with scheduling and project controls processes are also valued.
