Lead Relay Settings Engineer

Lead Relay Settings Engineer | Remote | Full Time | $140k - $200k

I’m partnering with a rapidly growing engineering consultancy that is expanding its Power Delivery & Renewable Energy capabilities and looking to add a Lead Relay Settings Engineer to its team.

This is a senior technical position for someone who wants to remain close to the engineering while taking greater ownership over technical leadership, QA/QC, mentoring and client delivery .

You’ll support a mixture of utility, substation, solar, wind and BESS projects , leading protection and relay settings work while providing technical guidance to other engineers.

What you'll be doing

• Develop and review protective relay settings for substations, transmission lines and renewable energy projects
• Perform protection coordination and fault analysis
• Develop relay setting calculations, coordination plots, technical reports and setting files
• Review protection schematics, CT/PT circuits, relay logic and single-line diagrams
• Work with protection functions including 21, POTT, DCB, 50/51, 67, 87, 27/59, 81 and 50BF
• Work with relays from SEL, Siemens, ABB/Hitachi, GE or similar manufacturers
• Provide technical leadership and QA/QC across project deliverables
• Mentor and review the work of junior Relay/Protection Engineers
• Work directly with clients and present technical solutions
• Support multiple projects simultaneously across geographically distributed engineering teams

What they're looking for

Ideally, you'll have 8+ years of protection/relay settings experience , with exposure to PV, BESS, wind, substations, collector systems and/or data centers . Previous engineering consulting experience is particularly attractive.

You'll also need:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering
• Strong relay settings and protection coordination experience
• Power-system fault analysis experience
• Experience with ETAP, SKM and/or ASPEN
• Familiarity with NERC and major ISO/RTO environments such as PJM, ERCOT and MISO
• Strong communication and client-facing capabilities

This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering group where you'll have genuine influence over how the protection function develops, rather than simply being another engineer within a large established department.
