Spencer Ogden
Position : Substation Engineer
Level : Graduate, mid-level, and senior roles
Focus : Engineering design for substations, including physical and protection & control practices. Requires knowledge of substation systems from 34.5kV to 500kV and basic principles of high-voltage substation engineering design.
Location : Lewisville, TX - Hybrid 3 days in office
Duties & Responsibilities Employees may perform any or all of the following :
Create design documents and drawings : Work within a project team to develop all project deliverables, including wiring diagrams from schematics, bills of materials, and applying field mark-ups to as-built drawings with minimal supervision.
Perform engineering support tasks : Conduct calculations such as relay burden, lighting, load flow, and short circuit with minimal supervision.
Apply engineering software : Use tools for tasks like ground grid design, relay coordination, transformer sizing, load flow, and short circuit studies with minimal supervision.
Review schedules : Monitor project timelines and collaborate with project engineers to keep projects on track.
Apply standards : Adhere to NEC, NESC, NEMA, IEEE, and ANSI standards.
Use document management : Properly utilize systems for project documentation.
Apply corporate practices : Follow Primoris standard engineering procedures.
Communicate and coordinate : Coordinate with project engineers, customer representatives, and others.
Gain hands‑on experience : Spend time at job sites for training in substation construction and design.
Ensure quality : Take ownership of work accuracy and quality.
Identify issues : Report potential problems and solutions to supervisors.
Travel : Occasional short‑term out‑of‑town travel for projects.
Other duties : As assigned by management.
Minimum Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) from an accredited university.
Required Experience
Senior applicants must be a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with ability to obtain licensure in multiple states or gain it within one year of hire.
Technical Skills & Knowledge
Relays and Metering : Familiarity with electrical relays in the electric power utility industry; experience applying relays and metering in substations at 138kV and above.
P&C Design Experience : Designing electrical schematics for relay applications and control systems; designing connection drawings and cabling.
Physical Design Experience : Performing physical design for stations of varying voltage classes. Apply industry standards to produce and a safe and functional substation while value engineering for efficient and cost‑effective construction.
Studies : Interpret and apply the results of studies including grounding, lighting, lightning, short circuit, reactive power, TOV, harmonics and relay coordination. Ability to perform these studies is a plus.
Fundamentals : Strong knowledge of AC / DC principles; three‑phase power systems; per‑unit mathematics and symmetrical components.
Substation Knowledge : Understanding of substation components and functions; design documents and drawings needed for projects.
Standards : Knowledge of NEC, NESC, NEMA, IEEE, and ANSI.
Software : Proficiency in common word processing, spreadsheets, and email tools.
Soft Skills
Effective communication with co‑workers, vendors, and clients.
Ability to work in a team environment.
