Electrical Project Engineer – High Voltage Substations

About the Role

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 settings
  • 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
