  • Develop relay one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, and logic diagrams.
  • Design station service AC and DC systems associated with protection and control equipment.
  • Perform quality control reviews on protection and control design projects.
  • Assume the role of technical lead on projects with limited guidance.
  • Create and review bills of materials for relay panels, control cabinets, communications equipment, and P&C systems.

  • Support commissioning activities, relay testing, troubleshooting, and energization planning.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers.
  • Communicate effectively with internal teams and clients to meet project objectives.
  • Develop leadership skills in preparation for future roles on the Power Delivery team.

  • 4+ years of relevant engineering experience in substation design.
