Substation Engineer

Substation Engineer – Power & Data Center Projects

This Substation Engineer role focuses on designing and delivering complex high-voltage power infrastructure projects that support both traditional power delivery systems and state-of-the-art data centers. You will contribute to reliable, resilient, and sustainable power systems by performing physical substation and protection and control engineering for projects ranging from 12 kV to 500 kV. This position offers the opportunity to work alongside industry-recognized engineers, help modernize transmission systems, and play a key role in shaping the future of energy and technology while supporting a collaborative, employee-focused culture.

• Support the preparation of project scopes, schedules, and budgets, and ensure that project milestones and financial targets are met.
• Perform physical substation design, including yard layouts, plans, sections, and details for high-voltage substations.
• Design grounding systems and lightning protection schemes to ensure safety and reliability of substation facilities.
• Develop control building arrangements, including interior and exterior raceway layouts and auxiliary AC/DC power systems.
• Prepare and maintain associated bills of material for substation equipment and materials.
• Perform protection and control design, including panel arrangements, one-line and single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, equipment wiring, and relay panel wiring.
• Prepare engineering calculations and technical studies such as grounding analyses, lightning protection studies, and AC/DC load studies.
• Develop detailed equipment specifications for procurement and support factory acceptance testing activities.
• Coordinate design activities with multidisciplinary teams, including Civil/Structural, Networks, and Transmission Line groups, to ensure integrated and constructible solutions.
• Effectively communicate and coordinate project activities with project leadership, clients, and other stakeholders as needed.
• Work independently on assigned tasks and projects, taking ownership of deliverables and quality.
• Direct, mentor, train, and/or supervise the efforts of less-experienced engineers-in-training (EITs) and designers to support their professional development.
• Contribute to the successful execution of power market sector projects, including high-voltage utility and data center power delivery projects.
• Apply standard power sector design software and tools to produce accurate and efficient engineering deliverables.

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in substation design or power delivery projects.
• Strong understanding of physical substation design, including yard layouts, grounding, lightning protection, control building arrangements, raceways, auxiliary AC/DC power systems, and bills of material.
• Proficiency in protection and control design, including panel arrangements, one-line/single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, equipment wiring, and relay panel wiring.
• Experience preparing engineering calculations and technical studies such as grounding, lightning protection, and AC/DC load studies.
• Ability to prepare detailed equipment specifications for procurement and support factory acceptance testing.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering teams such as Civil/Structural, Networks, and Transmission Line disciplines.
• Strong communication skills to effectively coordinate with project leaders, clients, and other stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and manage tasks to meet schedule and budget requirements.
• Experience mentoring, training, or overseeing less-experienced engineers or designers.
