• Develop engineering design packages, including physical layouts, protection & control systems, grounding, lightning protection, lighting, and security systems.
• Perform engineering calculations including grounding analysis, insulation coordination, battery sizing, AC/DC station service, voltage drop, cable sizing, and conduit fill.
• Prepare engineering deliverables including design drawings, equipment specifications, bill of materials, cost estimates, and construction documentation.
• Apply IEEE, NESC, utility, and industry standards throughout the design process.
• Participate in field visits and site inspections to support project execution and construction activities.
• Collaborate with project managers and multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver projects on schedule and within budget.
• Support technical reports, client presentations, proposals, and other project documentation.
• Perform design reviews and contribute to quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) efforts.
• Communicate effectively with clients, contractors, and internal stakeholders to support successful project delivery.
• Identify technical challenges and help develop practical engineering solutions throughout the project lifecycle.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related discipline from an ABET-accredited program.
• 3+ years of substation engineering experience supporting high-voltage utility or power delivery projects.
• For Engineering Technology degrees, successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam is required.
• EIT (Engineer-in-Training) certification preferred.
• Working knowledge of substation engineering principles, industry standards (IEEE, NESC), and engineering design practices.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and standard engineering software.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
