Description

Key responsibilities include owning the design of 4 kV‑230 kV and >230 kV substations, developing general arrangement and detailed drawings, preparing specifications and BOMs, conducting bus fault stress and lightning/grounding studies, and generating construction sequences and RFPs. The engineer provides technical support for procurement and construction, coordinates with transmission, distribution, civil, geotechnical engineers and surveyors, focuses on high‑quality output, identifies client interests, serves as a specialist for system protection and communications, removes impediments, advises management on ROI, and attends client technical review meetings.

• Produce general arrangement, plan, elevation, grounding, and cable‑trough/conduit drawings.
• Create specifications for major primary equipment and detailed bill of materials.
• Perform AC/DC calculations for station service and battery system sizing.
• Conduct bus fault stress analysis and lightning/grounding studies using CDEGS or similar.
• Prepare construction sequences, RFPs, and documentation for studies, lighting, and calculations.
• Provide technical support for procurement and construction phases.
• Coordinate with transmission, distribution, civil, geotechnical engineers, and surveyors.
• Identify client interests, communicate them to the project team, and develop responsive solutions.
• Serve as technical specialist for system protection and communications.
• Remove impediments hindering the engineering team's progress.
• Advise management on strategies to maximize ROI.
• Attend and contribute to client technical review meetings.

Requirements

The position requires a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, a professional engineer license, and at least seven years of experience in high‑voltage substation physical design. Proficiency in AutoCAD or Bentley MicroStation, as well as CDEGS, WinIGS, or similar tools for grounding studies, is essential, along with strong knowledge of NEC, NESC, and the mechanical and thermal effects of fault currents.

Preferred qualifications include knowledge of outage sequencing, constructability, operation and maintenance, the ability to write scopes, perform QA/QC, manage direct reports, and experience with proposal writing, project estimating, scheduling, and project controls.

• Own design of high‑voltage (4 kV–230 kV) and extra‑high‑voltage (>230 kV) substations.
• Hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a Professional Engineer license.
• Minimum 7 years experience in high‑voltage substation physical design.
• Proficient in AutoCAD or Bentley MicroStation and CDEGS/WinIGS.
• Strong knowledge of NEC, NESC, and mechanical/thermal effects of fault currents.
• Familiar with outage sequencing, constructability, and O&M considerations.
• Experience in scope writing, QA/QC, managing direct reports, proposal development, and project estimating.
• Knowledge of scheduling and project control processes.
