The Role

We’re looking for a detail-oriented Substation Electrical Engineer to support the design and execution of high-voltage substation projects (32.4–500kV). This role involves hands-on design work, technical documentation, and collaboration across engineering teams to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant project delivery.

• Create and modify one-lines, cable schedules, BOMs, layouts, relay panel arrangements, schematics, and cable lists for high-voltage substations.
• Prepare engineering and construction estimate documents for new installations or modifications to existing substations, including BOMs, RTU lists, and electrical details.
• Develop and revise technical specifications for major substation equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, and control houses.
• Coordinate with other engineers to integrate protection, control, and monitoring systems.
• Provide engineering and construction support throughout project phases.
• Apply field mark-ups to as-built drawings and perform basic calculations (e.g., voltage drop, CT burden/saturation, lighting, short circuit) with minimal supervision.
• Travel up to 25% may be required.
• Perform other duties as assigned, including temporary coverage of other roles as needed.
