Work Study Controls Engineer information

What is the difference between Work Study Controls Engineer vs Controls Engineer?

AspectWork Study Controls EngineerControls Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering, certifications like PLC or automationBachelor's in Engineering, certifications like PLC or automation
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, production linesIndustrial facilities, automation projects
Industry UsagePrimarily in manufacturing and production sectorsBroader, including manufacturing, automation, and process industries

The main difference is that a Work Study Controls Engineer focuses on optimizing manufacturing processes and production efficiency, often working closely with production teams. Controls Engineers have a broader scope, designing and implementing control systems across various industrial applications. Both roles require similar credentials and work environments, but their focus areas differ slightly, with Work Study Controls Engineers emphasizing process improvement and Controls Engineers covering a wider range of automation projects.

Protection & Controls Engineer

Hut 8

Miami, FL

$79K - $103K/yr

Full-time

Posted 18 days ago


Key responsibilities

  • Develop and review protection schemes, relay panel arrangements, and control designs for HV substations and interconnection facilities.

  • Support commissioning, coordination studies, and utility acceptance activities related to protection and controls.

  • Support field testing, troubleshooting, and real-time protection and controls issues during construction and energization.


Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Protection & Controls Engineer is responsible for protection schemes, relay settings, and controls design for Hut 8's high-voltage systems across the program. Reporting to the Principal, HV Engineering, this role supports commissioning, coordination studies, and utility acceptance for the substations and interconnections serving our data center campuses. P&C talent is the scarcest discipline in our build program - this seat carries real authority over how our facilities are protected and how fast they energize.


Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

Protection & Controls Design

Develop and review protection schemes, relay panel arrangements, and control designs for HV substations and interconnection facilities. Produce and review AC/DC schematics, wiring diagrams, and logic diagrams. Specify protective relays (SEL platforms), RTUs, meters, and panel equipment against utility, NERC, IEEE, and ANSI requirements.

Relay Settings & Setting Philosophy

Develop, review, and manage relay settings files and the program's setting philosophy. Own settings version control and the reconciliation between issued settings, as-left settings, and study models - the discipline that prevents mis-operations.

Studies

Perform and validate protection coordination, fault, and arc-flash studies (ASPEN/CAPE), coordinating with the Application Engineer on system models, equipment ratings, and interconnection study requirements.

Utility Coordination & Acceptance

Support interconnection protection requirements, protection review packages, SCADA/RTU point lists, and witness testing with serving utilities. Drive utility comments to resolution through energization and maintain compliance documentation (including NERC PRC-related records where applicable).

Commissioning & Field Support

Support factory and site acceptance testing, relay functional testing, and end-to-end testing with NETA firms during commissioning. Provide field support during construction and energization - troubleshooting protection and controls issues with contractors, testing firms, and utility personnel in real time.

Standards & Program Building

Build Hut 8's P&C standards: templates, panel typicals, settings libraries, and testing requirements. Review vendor drawings for P&C scope across projects and mentor the Project Engineer (HV/MV) on protection fundamentals.

ABOUT YOU

-      What we're looking for:


- 5+ years of protection and controls engineering for HV substations, transmission, or utility interconnections (69kV-345kV).

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering; PE license preferred.

- Strong hands-on depth with protective relaying - SEL platforms strongly preferred - including scheme design, settings development, and event analysis.

- Coordination and fault study fluency in ASPEN or CAPE; comfort defending your settings to a utility.

- Working knowledge of NERC PRC standards and utility interconnection protection processes.

- Commissioning experience: relay functional testing, end-to-end tests, and working alongside NETA field crews.

- SCADA/RTU and communications-assisted protection familiarity (mirrored bits, fiber schemes) a plus.

- Rigorous documentation habits - settings control is a discipline, not a chore.

- Willing to travel for factory tests, energizations, and utility meetings (typically 20-35%).
