Job description

The Engineer I - Substation Operations supports the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of substation and generation facilities across the BHE Renewables fleet. This entry-level engineering role focuses on developing technical skills while supporting safe, reliable, and compliant operations. The Engineer I performs engineering assignments under general supervision and applies standard engineering principles and practices. This role supports project execution, maintenance programs, and compliance activities while emphasizing safety, Human Performance Improvement (HPI) tools, and continuous learning.

BHE Renewables delivers sustainable energy solutions for customers and communities. We own, operate and develop wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric and natural gas projects in 11 U.S. states.

Headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, BHE Renewables is an innovative and growing company with new offices in Phoenix and San Diego. Our 50/50 joint venture with Occidental Petroleum has led to a demonstration project showing how TerraLithium technology is used to extract lithium from the brine presently flowing through our geothermal plants in Imperial Valley, CA.

Our CHAMPION culture drives our success by fostering high expectations, ownership and continuous improvement within a respectful and inclusive team environment. Through the CHAMPION mindset, we focus on the fundamentals - preparation, planning and attention to detail - holding ourselves accountable to do simple better. Alongside this, the BHE Renewables CARESprogram encourages employee volunteerism and invests in our communities, reinforcing our commitment to excellence and collaboration, making us stronger together.

Assist with maintaining and analyzing substation and generation maintenance programs, including oil sampling, SF6 usage, asset tracking and commissioning activities.
