Duties & Responsibilities
Employee may be called upon to perform any or all of the following functions: Work within a project team to create all design documents and drawings for a project, including creating wiring diagrams from schematics, generating bills of materials, and applying field mark-ups of project as-built drawings with minimal supervision. Perform Engineering support tasks such as relay burden, lighting, load flow, and short circuit calculations with minimal supervision. Apply engineering application software to complete engineering tasks such as ground grid design, relay coordination, transformer sizing, and load flow and short circuit studies with minimal supervision. Review project schedules and work with a project engineer to ensure projects remain on schedule. Apply engineering standards including NEC, NESC, NEMA, IEEE, and ANSI. Properly use the document management system. Apply corporate standard engineering practices. Communicate and coordinate project activities with project engineer, customer representatives, and others as needed. Spend time at job sites to gain hands-on knowledge and additional training in substation construction and design. Take personal responsibility for the quality and accuracy of his/her work. Bring potential project-related problems and possible solutions to the attention of the responsible party. Travel out of town for short periods of time as required by projects and assignments. Other duties as assigned. Minimum Qualifications / Experience
Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent degrees, from an accredited university. Experience in substation design; successful candidates will have at least 3 years experience in substation engineering design with more senior level positions requiring 7 years or more in hands-on engineering design. Senior applicants (10-15 years) must be a licensed professional engineer with the ability to become licensed in multiple states or must be able to gain license within one year of hire. Familiarity with electrical relays currently utilized in the electric power utility industry. Experience in application of relays and metering in an electrical substation at 138kV and above. Experience in the design of electrical schematics for relay applications and control systems. Experience in the design of connection drawings and cabling. Relay coordination experience is a plus.
