The Protection & Control (P&C) Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and implementing protection and control systems for high-voltage substations, transmission, and distribution systems. This role ensures reliable system performance, personnel safety, and compliance with industry standards and client specifications.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop protection and control design packages for substations (typically 15 kV - 500 kV).
* Prepare one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts.
* Design relay protection schemes for transformers, lines, buses, and breakers.
* Perform relay coordination studies and protection setting calculations using tools such as SEL AcSELerator, Aspen OneLiner, or ETAP.
* Specify and select relays, meters, RTUs, communication equipment, and control panels.
* Review and interpret customer technical specifications and standards to ensure design compliance.
* Provide technical support during the construction, commissioning, and testing of protection and control systems.
* Coordinate design activities with civil, structural, and physical design teams to ensure integration of all substation systems.
* Review vendor drawings and support equipment procurement efforts.
* Prepare project documentation, including bills of material, test plans, and design reports.
* Ensure all designs adhere to applicable NERC, IEEE, IEC, and utility standards.
* Support field engineers and technicians with troubleshooting and startup assistance.
Qualifications:
Education:
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE required, power systems focus preferred).
Experience:
* 3+ years of experience in protection & control design for substations or transmission/distribution systems.
* Familiarity with protective relay logic and SCADA integration.
* Proficiency in AutoCAD, MicroStation, or equivalent CAD software.
* Experience with SEL, GE, or Siemens relays preferred.
Certifications (Preferred):
* Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification.
* NCEES record or ability to obtain PE in multiple states a plus.
Key Skills and Competencies:
* Strong knowledge of electrical power systems, relaying principles, and control logic.
* Ability to interpret complex electrical drawings and develop detailed designs.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
* Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
* Collaborative mindset with effective teamwork across disciplines.
Work Environment:
* Primarily office-based with occasional field visits to substation or project sites.
* May require travel to client or construction sites (
