Studies Engineer information

What are some common challenges Studies Engineers face when managing multiple research and development projects simultaneously?

Studies Engineers often juggle several projects at once, each with unique technical requirements and deadlines. Balancing these priorities can be challenging, especially when resources are limited or when stakeholders have conflicting expectations. Effective time management, clear communication with cross-functional teams, and adaptability are essential skills for navigating these complexities. Proactively identifying potential bottlenecks and maintaining detailed project documentation can also help Studies Engineers deliver successful outcomes across multiple initiatives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Studies Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Studies Engineer, you need a solid background in engineering principles, analytical problem-solving skills, and typically a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with CAD software, simulation tools, and project management systems is often required, along with knowledge of industry-specific standards. Strong communication, teamwork, and adaptability help Studies Engineers effectively collaborate and present findings to stakeholders. These skills are vital for developing accurate studies, optimizing project outcomes, and ensuring solutions align with organizational and client needs.

What are Studies Engineers?

Studies Engineers are professionals who analyze, design, and optimize technical solutions for engineering projects. They often work in sectors such as construction, energy, transport, or manufacturing, where they are responsible for conducting feasibility studies, preparing technical documentation, and ensuring that projects meet regulatory and safety standards. Their role involves collaborating with project managers, designers, and other engineers to ensure that the proposed solutions are both technically sound and cost-effective.

What is the difference between Studies Engineer vs Design Engineer?

AspectStudies EngineerDesign Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's degree in engineering or related field; certifications varyBachelor's or master's in engineering; certifications may include CAD or project management
Work EnvironmentResearch, analysis, feasibility studies, often in labs or officesDesign, drafting, development, primarily in offices or design studios
Employer & Industry UsageEngineering firms, R&D departments, manufacturingProduct development, manufacturing, construction

Studies Engineers focus on analyzing, researching, and evaluating project feasibility, while Design Engineers develop detailed plans and specifications. Both roles require engineering knowledge but differ in their primary functions and work environments.

HDR Engineering is currently seeking a Senior Electrical Studies Engineer to join our growing local and nationally ranked team of Power Delivery professionals. 

You'll be part of a rapidly growing team wanting to take your career to the next level.  Having developed a well-rounded foundational expertise in high voltage substation electrical design, you will be ready to undertake a more complex and responsible role as an overall Electrical Studies Subject Matter Expert. This role will require you to work independently while occasionally directing, mentoring, training, and/or supervising less-experienced EITs and/or Designers. You'll have the opportunity to perform physical / outdoor substation design, protection and control, and electrical studies on projects ranging from 4 kV through 765 kV.  This is an opportunity for you to be challenged, learn, and generally grow your career.

As a Senior Electrical Studies Engineer, your role will encompass the following:

  • Perform electrical design studies and reports including grounding, electromagnetic transient studies, electrical effects, lightning protection, bus analysis, short circuit analysis, and power flow studies
  • Protection and control design including panel arrangements, one lines/single lines, three lines, AC/DC schematics, equipment wiring and relay panel wiring
  • Preparing calculations for studies and reports ( AC/DC load studies, rigid bus calculations, etc.)
  • Preparing various types of specifications including performance specs, equipment / procurement specs, and construction specs
  • Attending client stakeholder meetings and leading reviews with the client.
  • Effectively managing multiple tasks for multiple projects while being cognizant of schedule and budget.
  • Performing quality control reviews of projects from other teams as needed.
  • Providing engineering input on specific project design issues and questions.
  • Providing input to the development of project manhours estimates and task schedules.
  • Performing site visits during the design, construction and as-built phases of projects, including participating in field reviews or construction observation.
  • Mentoring and technical guidance of junior level engineers

Preferred Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in substation grounding, electrical effects, and protection and controls design.
  • Experience with electrical studies software (e.g., CDEGS, WinIGS, PSCAD, ATP-EMTP, ETAP, etc. ).
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience working with Renewables developers, data center substations, and utility interconnections a plus.
  • Industry involvement and/or involvement with working groups (i.e. IEEE or other)

    *LI-MB1

    Required Qualifications
    • Bachelor's degree in Engineering
    • A minimum of 10 years of experience
    • Professional Engineers (PE) license
    • Extensive experience in project execution within the Power Market Sector
    • Proficient computer skills in Microsoft Office as well as standard Power Market Sector design software (examples include PLS CAD, AutoCAD, Plant 3D, AutoPipe, and Revit)
    • An attitude and commitment to being an active participant of our employee-owned culture

    What We Believe
    HDR is our company. Together, we build on each other's life experiences and perspectives to make great things possible every day. This shapes our collaborative culture, encourages organizational trust and connects us closer to the clients and communities we serve.
