  • Perform calculations, reports and designs for electrical substations (Low, Medium and High Voltage) and substation systems to support engineers.
  • Understand client standards and complete small to moderately complex projects, exercising judgment in design criteria, evaluation, and design, subject to review by engineers.
  • Based upon experience, can perform most design responsibilities without assistance on simple projects, and may work independently, but with some engineering guidance on moderately complex projects.
  • Communicate with Project Managers, Project Engineers, and client personnel.

Qualifications:
  • Experience in both the Protection and Control (Indoor) and Physical (Outdoor) aspects of High Voltage (HV) Substation design.
  • Previous experience with an architectural/engineering or engineering consulting firm preferred.
