  • Develop or support relay settings, protection schemes, and coordination studies.
  • Review engineering drawings, field markups, and as-built documentation for accuracy and completeness.
  • Support SCADA and substation communication integration with protection and control systems.
  • Coordinate with relay technicians, CAD designers, field crews, and project managers throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Provide technical support during testing, commissioning, and startup activities.
  • Troubleshoot protection, control, and communications issues in the field and in the office.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable utility standards, engineering practices, and safety requirements.
  • Maintain clear documentation and communicate technical information effectively.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in protection and control engineering, substation design, or a related utility engineering role.
  • Working knowledge of substation protection schemes, relay applications, and control circuit design.
  • Ability to read and interpret detailed electrical drawings and technical documentation.
  • Familiarity with protective relays, SCADA integration, and substation automation concepts.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and troubleshooting skills.
  • Effective communication skills and the ability to work well with a team.
  • Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with major relay platforms such as SEL, GE, Siemens, ABB/Hitachi, or similar.
  • Familiarity with relay setting development, coordination studies, or short circuit analysis.
  • Experience supporting utility substation projects from design through commissioning.
  • EIT or PE certification, or progress toward licensure, is a plus.

Work Environment

This role may involve a combination of office and field work, including travel to substations and customer sites. Candidates should be comfortable working in both collaborative office settings and active field environments.
