Remote Software Internship Jobs in Cleveland, OH

Nexus Engineering Group is employee-owned, full-service, and built by the people who do the work. As a Substation Engineer, you’ll help design, analyze, and deliver electrical substation projects for utility, industrial, and power delivery clients — with exposure across the full breadth of substation engineering.

You’ll support the design, analysis, and execution of substation projects from planning through construction, contributing across disciplines — physical design, protection and control, engineering studies, technical documentation, field investigations, and construction support. It’s a broad, hands-on role for a collaborative problem-solver who wants to grow across complex infrastructure projects while delivering high-quality engineering.

• Develop and revise engineering deliverables — drawings, calculations, specifications, reports, and technical documentation.
• Support the design and execution of substation projects from planning through construction.
• Apply industry, client, utility, and company standards to your engineering work products.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary project teams — engineers, designers, project managers, clients, vendors, and contractors.
• Participate in site visits, field investigations, design reviews, and construction-support activities.
• Assist with equipment selection, design development, engineering analyses, and technical problem-solving.
• Communicate project status, technical issues, and design recommendations to project stakeholders.
• Deliver quality work within established schedules and budgets, and contribute to the Substation group’s technical standards and best practices.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related engineering discipline.
• 1+ years of relevant engineering experience — utility, power delivery, electrical infrastructure, or substation engineering, including internship or co-op experience.
• Understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and engineering design principles.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specifications, standards, and equipment documentation.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting utility, power delivery, industrial, or substation engineering projects.
• Familiarity with engineering software such as AutoCAD, MicroStation, ETAP, SKM, CYME, CDEGS, Inventor, or similar design and analysis tools.
• Experience preparing engineering calculations, drawings, specifications, and technical reports.
• Field, construction, commissioning, utility operations, internship, or co-op experience.
• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification, or progress toward professional licensure.

Work is performed in a hybrid environment that includes office, remote, and active project-site settings. This role may require:

• Prolonged periods of sitting and working at a computer workstation, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Periodic travel to substations, construction sites, client facilities, and project locations
• Site visits that may involve exposure to outdoor weather, energized electrical equipment, noise, heavy equipment, and active construction environments; appropriate PPE must be worn
• The ability to walk uneven terrain, navigate outdoor substation yards, climb stairs, and access project-site areas, with or without reasonable accommodation
