  • Perform quality control reviews on substation physical design projects.

  • Assume the role of technical lead on projects with limited guidance.

  • Create and review bills of materials for substation physical projects.

  • Plan and lead client meetings, or meeting sections, related to physical design as required.

  • Support the continued professional development of less experienced engineers, including technical guidance and training recommendations.

  • Communicate effectively with internal teams and clients to meet project objectives.

  • Develop leadership skills in preparation for future roles on the team.


Qualifications

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

  • Preferred (but not required): Professional Engineering (P.E.) license, or ability to obtain within 12 months.
