The
Substation Senior Designer
is responsible for preparing, reviewing, and coordinating detailed design drawings, 3D models, and documentation for high-voltage electrical substations ranging from 15kV to 500kV. This position works closely with engineers, drafters, and project managers to develop physical and protection/control design packages that meet client specifications, industry standards, and project schedules.
The ideal candidate has advanced knowledge of substation layout, design principles, and construction practices, as well as experience mentoring junior designers and collaborating in multi-disciplinary teams.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and prepare
substation design drawings
including general arrangements, grounding layouts, conduit and cable routing, control house layouts, and wiring diagrams. Produce
detailed physical and protection/control designs
using AutoCAD, MicroStation, or other CAD platforms. Collaborate with
engineers and other designers
to ensure all drawings align with engineering calculations and specifications. Perform
3D modeling
and design coordination to resolve spatial or constructability conflicts. Review and check drawings for
accuracy, completeness, and adherence
to company and client standards. Support
material take-offs (MTOs) ,
bill of materials (BOMs) , and
as-built documentation . Ensure all designs comply with
industry standards and codes
(e.g., IEEE, NESC, NEC, ANSI). Provide
technical guidance and mentorship
to junior designers and drafters. Assist project engineers with
design coordination, schedule management, and quality control . Participate in
field visits and site walkdowns
to collect data and support construction activities. Qualifications:
Education & Experience:
Associate degree or technical diploma in Drafting, Design Technology, or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience). 8+ years
of experience in electrical substation design (utility or EPC environment). Demonstrated experience with
AutoCAD, MicroStation, or Bentley Substation . Strong understanding of
