Electrical Substation Design information

What is the difference between Electrical Substation Design vs Electrical Power Systems Engineering?

AspectElectrical Substation DesignElectrical Power Systems Engineering
FocusDesigning physical substation layouts, equipment selection, and construction detailsAnalyzing and planning entire electrical power systems, including generation, transmission, and distribution
CredentialsElectrical engineering degree, certifications in substation designElectrical engineering degree, power systems certifications
Work EnvironmentField sites, engineering offices, construction projectsOffice-based, field visits, system analysis
Industry UsagePower utilities, infrastructure projectsPower generation, transmission companies, consulting firms

Electrical Substation Design focuses on creating detailed plans for substations, while Electrical Power Systems Engineering involves broader analysis and planning of entire electrical networks. Both roles require electrical engineering credentials but differ in scope and daily tasks.

How to get into electrical substation design?

To pursue a career in electrical substation design, individuals typically need a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Gaining experience through internships or entry-level engineering roles, developing skills in power systems and CAD software, and obtaining relevant certifications like Professional Engineer (PE) can improve job prospects in this specialized area.

Job description

Description:

POSITION SUMMARY

The Substation Design Engineer is responsible for the electrical design and engineering of substations supporting utility-scale solar and renewable energy projects. This role supports projects from early conceptual design through issued-for-construction (IFC) drawings, ensuring compliance with applicable codes, utility standards, and project requirements. The ideal candidate has strong power systems fundamentals, experience with medium- and high-voltage equipment, and the ability to collaborate across engineering, construction, and project management teams.


KEY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES*:

  • Substation & Power Systems Design
  • Develop electrical designs for medium- and high-voltage substations supporting renewable energy projects.
  • Prepare one-lines, three-lines, wiring diagrams, grounding plans, protection and control schematics, and equipment layouts.
  • Design and specify substation equipment including transformers, breakers, relays, switches, and protection systems.
  • Perform basic power system studies as required (load flow, short circuit, grounding, etc.).

Engineering Tools & Documentation

  • Produce and review design drawings using AutoCAD and/or MicroStation.
  • Prepare technical specifications, design calculations, and engineering documentation.
  • Support permitting, utility interconnection, and regulatory submittals.

Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Coordinate with civil, structural, protection & controls, and solar engineering teams.
  • Support construction teams by responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals, and resolving field issues.
  • Interface with utilities, AHJs, and third-party engineers to ensure alignment with interconnection and design standards.

Compliance & Standards

  • Ensure designs comply with NEC, NESC, IEEE standards, utility requirements, and project-specific criteria.
  • Incorporate safety, constructability, and long-term reliability into all designs.
  • Support commissioning and energization activities as needed.

The Key Job Responsibilities described are not a comprehensive list – additional tasks may be assigned to the team member and the scope of the job may change as necessitated by business demands.

Requirements:

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • Proven experience in substation or power systems design.
  • Strong understanding of medium- and high-voltage electrical systems.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or MicroStation.
  • Familiarity with utility interconnection requirements and substation standards.
  • Knowledge of NEC, NESC, IEEE, and applicable electrical codes.
  • Experience supporting construction and field execution preferred.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, multi-project environment.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.

WORK ENVIRONMENT / JOB CONDITIONS:

  • Remote work environment.
  • Travel to project sites, utility meetings, or Enfield, Connecticut may be required based on Company needs.
  • Field visits to active construction sites may be required.
