Substation Senior Design Technician

Description

• Communicate with Project Managers, Project Engineers, and client personnel
• Prepare substation material lists (BOM) including manufacturer part numbers, quantities, footage, etc
• Perform basic calculations, reports and designs for electrical substations (Low, Medium and High Voltage) and substation systems to support engineers
• Work independently to perform substation design tasks, CADD design, develop design drawings and documents, modeling and/or analysis, prepare material lists, perform field reviews, and other tasks for simple to moderately complex projects
• Prepare physical substation design drawings, including General Arrangements, Sections, Grounding & Conduit Plans, and Foundation Plans

Requirements

The successful candidate will be a part of a complete team that performs engineering primarily for data center substation clients. This is an excellent growth opportunity for a self-directed individual who wants to learn and take on new challenges. Successful candidates may be placed in a Designer I, II, or Senior title depending on proven skill and experience level.

Having previously performed a designer role on simple to moderately complex substation projects, you’ll be ready to undertake greater challenges and responsibilities in an exciting and emerging data center market focused on speed to market and reliability.

As a Substation Senior Design Technician in a well-established Power Delivery practice, you’ll draw upon your broad technical knowledge and experience in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) and at least three years as a Designer of high voltage substation projects to be a Designer of mission critical, fast-paced data center substation projects.

• Experience in Protection and Control aspect of High Voltage (HV) Substation design, including preparation of One Line Diagrams, Relay and Control Systems Schematics, and Wiring Diagrams
• Comprehensive knowledge of physical substation layout, elevations, grounding, foundations, and conduit
• Knowledge of NESC, IEEE, NEC and other applicable codes and standards
• Extensive knowledge of the major components of substations and the types of drawings required to construct an electrical High Voltage (HV) substation
• Based upon experience, can perform most design responsibilities without assistance on simple projects, and may work independently, but with some engineering guidance on moderately complex projects
• Previous experience with an architectural/engineering or engineering consulting firm
• Understand client standards and complete small to moderately complex projects, exercising judgment in design criteria, evaluation, and design, subject to review by engineers
• Associates or technical school degree or combination of education and relevant experience
• Minimum of 5 years of experience developing Substation CADD layouts and design
