AECOM
Overview
Electrical Substation Engineer role at AECOM within the Energy practice. Supports our growing Energy Business Line with opportunities to work remotely and/or at Energy offices located in multiple locations across the United States. This is an excellent career opportunity for an engineer with a strong technical background who is looking to grow into a project leadership role. Our team provides electrical engineering services across transmission (substations, OH/UG transmission systems, generator interconnections, interconnection strategy), power distribution (OH/UG power systems, substations, EV charging networks, microgrid design, etc.), renewables (Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems, Wind), and next generation energy (hydrogen, fuel cells, RNG, etc.). We seek a strong leader with a power engineering background to promote our skills to new clients and maintain our existing client base. Qualified candidates will have a strong background in electrical power engineering coupled with leadership experience. The successful candidate is expected to be detail-oriented, able to make decisions independently, and provide mentorship for other electrical engineers in our Power group. Focused on the power industry related to electrical design of HV and MV substations, HV transmission systems, and MV distribution systems. Responsibilities
Responsible for supporting the electrical engineering design work on assigned projects under the guidance of senior staff. Support the development of the following, under the direction of the Lead Electrical Engineer: Substation and switching station physical design, including air-insulated substations (AIS) and gas-insulated substations (GIS) Substation general arrangement drawings, elevations, and sections Plan drawings such as grounding plans, raceway plans, cable tray plans etc. One-line and three-line diagrams Protective relay and metering diagrams AC/DC schematics Panel Layouts Equipment layouts and sectional views Connection Diagrams Bill of Materials Cable Schedules DC power distribution design Developing construction and equipment specifications Electrical Lists - Cable and Conduit Schedules, Load List, Equipment List Calculations – Grounding analysis and design, Cable sizing, conduit sizing, transformer sizing, battery sizing, lightning protection, bus bracing Power system studies (load flow, short circuit, protective coordination, arc flash analysis) Basis of design documents Work with senior staff in the development of design schedules and budgets for electrical engineering work activities Supporting projects during construction, start-up, and commissioning Reviewing engineering work performed by peers Occasional travel to client or project sites Participate in field walks and create field sketches, take dimensions, climb ladders, etc. as necessary Performs limited portions of a broader assignment of a senior engineer. Coordinates work with the electrical design team and other disciplines to develop and complete assigned tasks. Gathers and correlates basic engineering and design data using established and well-defined procedures. Works on detailed or routine engineering assignments involving calculations and relatively simple tests. Proposes approach to solve new problems encountered. Qualifications
