Description

The position demands design of high‑voltage (4 kV‑230 kV) and extra‑high‑voltage (>230 kV) substations, including creation of various schematics, wiring diagrams, and documentation for calculations, construction, procurement, and technical support. Coordination with P&C designers, transmission, distribution, and telecom engineers is essential, as is active participation in design reviews and client technical meetings.

• Produce one‑line, three‑line, potential/current, control, alarm, and communication schematics for 4 kV‑+230 kV substations.
• Develop wiring diagrams, I/O and points mapping, and protection/control specifications (preferred).
• Create design calculation, construction (sequence and RFP), and procurement documentation.
• Coordinate design efforts with P&C designers, transmission, distribution, and telecom engineers.
• Support technical, procurement, and construction phases and provide active project coordination.
• Participate in client technical review meetings and communicate client drivers to the project team.
• Identify and remove impediments to the engineering team’s progress and advise management on ROI.
• Maintain high‑quality work standards and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements

The Substation P&C Engineer at Westwood Professional Services works on electric substation design projects for high‑voltage utility systems and renewable energy interconnections, applying NESC, NEC and other codes. The role involves independently producing one‑line, three‑line, potential/current, control, alarm, protection and control specifications, and I/O mapping, and requires familiarity with protection scheme functionality. The engineer collaborates with internal and external stakeholders to meet project milestones and contracted service expectations.

The role emphasizes high‑quality output, continuous improvement, and the ability to work in a fast‑paced, multi‑project environment. The engineer must identify client interests, communicate them to the team, remove impediments, and advise management on ROI optimization.

Required qualifications include a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, EIT certification, at least four years of high‑voltage substation design experience, proficiency with AutoCAD or Bentley MicroStation, and strong knowledge of NEC and NESC. Preferred qualifications are a professional PE license (or ability to obtain within two years), experience with relay settings, protection coordination, Aspen One‑Liner, CYME, construction practices, proposal writing, and project controls.

• Use AutoCAD or Bentley MicroStation for drafting; familiarity with NEC and NESC required.
• Hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, EIT certification, and ≥4 years substation design experience.
• Preferred: obtain PE license within two years; develop relay settings and perform protection device coordination.
