A top-ranked power engineering consultancy is hiring a staff electrical engineer to work substation design and EPC delivery up to 765kV as part of a growing team.

This is where engineers actually get good at substation design, rather than spend a few years surviving it. Mentorship here is real, not a line in the posting, and the team promotes from within when engineers earn it.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to substation design and EPC delivery on projects up to 765kV
  • Develop protection and control and physical design deliverables under senior guidance
  • Support equipment specification and bill-of-materials preparation for procurement
  • Coordinate with other disciplines and support client-facing project activities
  • Build toward independently managing budgets, schedules, and design quality

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering plus 5+ years of substation design experience
  • High-voltage substation design exposure, physical and/or protection & controls
  • Willingness to grow into budget, schedule, and client-facing ownership
  • PE license preferred

Benefits

  • Structured mentorship and a fast track to broader project ownership
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, employer-matched retirement, and tuition reimbursement
  • An annual performance bonus on top of base pay
  • Paid time off, and a flexible hybrid schedule after your first 90 days
  • The backing of a Top-10 nationally ranked ENR power engineering firm
