Brooksource’s Fortune 300 utility client is hiring an Associate Engineer to fill several openings on their Electric Transmission Substation Engineering Protection and Control Design team. This team creates and maintains the substation electrical, mechanical, and control drawings behind the detailed design of a high voltage electric grid operating from 11 kV to 500 kV.

In this role, you will develop protection and control design engineering packages for both transmission and distribution substations, working closely with engineering, project management, and field teams to fully develop each design package.

• Develop protection and control design engineering packages for both transmission and distribution substations.
• Create and modify P&C design documents and drawings for substation projects, including relay functional drawings, logic diagrams, elementary diagrams, wiring diagrams, communications diagrams, and relay panel arrangement drawings.
• Prepare bills of material as part of each substation design package.
• Independently develop system protection design packages for complex projects using applicable standards as you grow in the role.
• Coordinate with and provide technical support to Physical Substation Engineers, Protective Relay Settings Engineers, Communications Engineers, Transmission Line Engineers, Material Coordinators, the Panel Wiring Shop, and Field Technicians to fully develop each design package.
• Support project management and conceptual engineering teams as they define the scope of work and design requirements for substation engineering projects.
• Perform occasional site work and travel (up to 25%), which can include outdoor conditions and exposure to energized equipment.

• 0-2 years of relevant engineering experience in either an internship, co-op, academic project, coursework, or early-career role.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering Technology that satisfies applicable Engineer job-series criteria (equivalency not accepted in lieu of degree).
• Understanding of the principles and practices of transmission lines, distribution feeders, and major substation components.
• Experience with Micro Station and/or AutoCAD.
• Ability to apply engineering principles, concepts, practices, and procedures with some evaluation, originality, and ingenuity to meet project objectives.
• Ability to interpret codes, regulations, standards, and practices.
• Strong planning, organizational, and project management skills.
• Ability to process information quickly and manage multiple tasks.
• Strong oral and written communication skills, including technical writing.
• Ability to work effectively both independently and in a team environment.
• Strong computer skills, with the ability to perform engineering calculations using applicable software such as MATLAB and Excel.

• Experience with electromechanical and microprocessor based protection and control systems.
• Ability to read, interpret, and verify the accuracy of one-line diagrams, relay functional drawings, and elementary, logic, and wiring diagrams.
• Electric utility industry experience.
