Job Overview
Electrical Engineer (Substations) – DEPCOM Power, Inc Join a leading energy solutions partner for utility solar, energy storage, and broader renewable projects. The role requires designing and developing high‑voltage substation layouts, bus work, grounding, lightning protection, and supporting engineering studies for utility‑scale solar and battery energy storage systems. Responsibilities
Support the creation of physical layout drawings (plan, elevation, section, detail) for high‑voltage substations. Develop design criteria and specifications for structures, foundations, bus work, conductor sizing, and cable trenching. Perform and review substation physical calculations including ampacity, ground grid sizing, lightning protection, conduit/cable fill, tensioning/sag, and clearance studies. Coordinate with civil, structural, protection, controls, and SCADA teams for integrated substation design. Produce complete drawing packages from 30% conceptual design to Issued for Construction. Review vendor submittals for high‑voltage equipment ensuring alignment with design standards and constructability goals. Support grounding (CDEGS, WinIGS) and lightning protection studies.

Assist procurement with technical equipment specifications and support construction teams with RFIs and field issues. Qualifications
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. Ability to travel up to 15% for site visits, design reviews, or FATs. Experience with substation layout, HV equipment design, and utility interconnection teams. Knowledge of SCADA and protection/control integration impacts on physical layout. Familiarity with grounding and lightning protection design tools (CDEGS, WinIGS, XGSLab). Experience with insulation coordination, load flow, short‑circuit, harmonic resonance, and transient over‑voltage studies using ETAP or SKM. Strong understanding of IEEE, NEC, and NESC standards related to substations. Experience with lighting design, lightning protection design, rigid bus calculations, and cable/conduit calculations. PE license or ability to obtain within 1–3 years (preferred). Salary
Estimated annual pay: $90,000 – $130,000, plus variable pay incentives. Benefits
Medical, dental, vision, and health savings accounts. Life, disability, and retirement plans. Paid vacation, holidays, and personal days. Educational assistance and tuition reimbursement. Paid parental leave and adoption assistance. Equal Opportunity
