Job description

FindTalent is hiring a highly skilled Substation Commissioning Engineer to support critical utility infrastructure projects across the U.S. This remote-based role is ideal for a technically proficient professional who can work independently while traveling full-time to high-voltage substation construction sites. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and executing the commissioning, testing, and operational verification of substation systems up to 500kV.

This role plays a key part in ensuring systems are installed correctly, operate reliably, and meet all design and compliance requirements. While the position is remote, it requires 100% travel to various project sites nationwide, with per diem, travel support, and regular paid trips home.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead substation commissioning activities for transmission and distribution projects from pre-energization through closeout.

  • Perform and supervise functional testing of protection and control systems, relays, and high-voltage equipment.

  • Validate field installations against engineering drawings and technical specifications.

  • Troubleshoot equipment and system issues, recommend solutions, and direct corrective actions on-site.

  • Develop and manage commissioning procedures, isolation plans, outage schedules, and safety protocols.

  • Collaborate closely with field crews, testing teams, and client stakeholders to ensure safe and efficient commissioning.

  • Review and approve test results and verify correct equipment operation per system design.

  • Coordinate with engineering to identify and address design conflicts or field modifications.

  • Ensure documentation is complete and accurate, including test reports, redlined drawings, and regulatory submissions.

  • Provide real-time updates to project management and maintain consistent communication with all stakeholders.

Education, Skills & Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (foreign equivalents accepted).

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in substation field commissioning, construction, or protection & control engineering.

  • Strong working knowledge of substation equipment and protection schemes, including relay logic and SCADA integration.

  • Proficiency with relay testing and communication software such as Enoserve RTS, Doble Protection Suite, SEL Compass, and AcSELerator Quickset.

  • Familiarity with NETA, IEEE, and utility specifications related to substation construction and testing.

  • Experience testing and commissioning equipment such as breakers, transformers, CTs, PTs, relays, panels, and battery systems.

  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills in field environments.

  • Ability to read and interpret complex electrical drawings and system schematics.

  • Must possess a valid, unrestricted driver’s license.

  • Must pass drug screening and background checks.

  • Must be a U.S. Citizen or legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.

  • Willing and able to travel 100% for extended periods; per diem and scheduled paid trips home are provided.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with substation commissioning for voltage levels up to 500kV.

  • Familiarity with SEL, GE, and ABB digital relays.

  • Previous leadership in field-based substation or utility projects.

  • Working knowledge of construction sequencing and safety practices for energized environments.

Benefits & Compensation:
Our client offers a robust and competitive benefits package, including:

  • Competitive Base Salary (Dependent on Experience)

  • Full Per Diem and Paid Travel Support

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance

  • 401(k) with Employer Match

  • Paid Time Off and Holidays

  • Life and Disability Insurance

  • Opportunities for Career Development and Specialized Training

Equal Opportunity Employer:
FindTalent is committed to creating an inclusive workplace and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We welcome applications from all qualified individuals, including veterans and those with disabilities. If accommodations are needed during the recruitment process, we are happy to assist upon request.

If you are a self-driven engineering professional ready to take the lead on commissioning high-impact utility projects nationwide, we encourage you to apply.
