Electrical Project Engineer – High Voltage Substations

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Project Engineer to lead high‑voltage (HV) substation design projects up to 765kV. This role combines technical leadership in Protection & Controls (P&C) and/or Physical Substation Design with full project execution responsibilities, including schedule, budget, QA/QC, and client coordination.

This is not a distribution, low‑voltage, medium‑voltage, or O&M role. Candidates must have direct HV substation design experience.

What You'll Do

Project Leadership

• Serve as Project Lead or Technical Specialist on HV substation projects
• Lead small electrical engineering teams
• Manage project scope, schedule, budget, and quality

Protection & Controls (P&C) Design

• Develop and review:
  • One‑line and three‑line diagrams
  • AC/DC schematics
  • Relay panel wiring diagrams
  • Protective relay configurations
  • Control building layouts

Physical Substation Design

• Develop and review:
  • Yard layout plans (2D/3D)
  • Grounding and lightning protection
  • Equipment arrangements
  • Auxiliary AC/DC systems

Quality & Coordination

• Perform QA/QC reviews of engineering packages
• Prepare equipment specifications and Bills of Materials (BOMs)
• Coordinate with clients, vendors, and multidisciplinary teams
• Mentor junior engineers and review their work

Additional Responsibilities

• Support proposal development and business development efforts
• Attend client meetings, design reviews, and occasional site visits

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of high‑voltage substation design experience
• Experience in Protection & Controls and/or Physical Substation Design
• Project Lead experience on HV substation projects
• Experience managing scope, schedule, and budget
• Strong understanding of QA/QC processes

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Engineer (PE) license (preferred)
• Experience with utility substation clients
• Experience performing formal QA/QC reviews
• Proficiency with Bluebeam Revu and Microsoft Office

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work on complex, utility‑scale HV substation projects
• Long‑term growth and technical leadership opportunities
• Hybrid flexibility after 90 days
• 9/80 schedule options available
• Strong engineering culture and high‑impact project work

Work Structure

• First 90 days: Full‑time onsite
• After 90 days: Hybrid (3 days onsite)
• Occasional travel for client meetings and site visits
