A growing substation team at a well-ranked US engineering firm is looking for a staff-level engineer to work design and EPC delivery through 765kV.

  • Take on EPC and substation design work on assignments up to 765kV
  • Develop physical design and protection & control deliverables under senior review
  • Help prepare equipment specs and material lists ahead of procurement
  • Work across disciplines and take part in client-facing project activity
  • Grow toward independently owning budget, schedule, and design quality

Requirements

  • 5+ years of substation design exposure, engineering degree required
  • Some hands-on time in high-voltage substation design, physical or protection & control
  • Ready 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
