Job description

Kimley-Horn's Richmond, VA, office is seeking a Substation Protection and Control (P&C) Engineer with 4+ years of experience to join the Power Delivery team. The successful candidate will support the design, and execution of high-voltage and medium-voltage substation protection and control projects for utility, renewable energy, and industrial clients. Responsibilities include developing protection packages, relay one-line and three-line diagrams, AC and DC schematics, wiring diagrams,  communications diagrams, and construction drawing packages while coordinating closely with cross discipline teams. The ideal candidate is a self-driven engineer with strong technical skills, experience in utility protection and control standards, and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. This is not a remote position.


• Perform conceptual and detailed HV and MV substation protection and control design for utility and renewable energy projects.
• Develop protection packages for transmission and distribution substations.
• Prepare AC and DC schematics, wiring diagrams, relay panel layouts, and interconnection drawings.
• 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.
• Develop and review proposals and scopes of work for smaller substation P&C projects.
• Plan and lead client meetings, or meeting sections, related to protection and control design.
• 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.
  • Preferred (but not required): Professional Engineering (P.E.) license, or ability to obtain within 12 months.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard design tools such as AutoCAD, AutoCADE, MicroStation and Bluebeam.
