Protection and Controls Engineer

Hours: Monday - Friday 8AM - 5PM

We are seeking 2 Mid/Senior-Level Protection & Control (P&C) Engineers with strong substation design, protection settings, and power system study experience. These engineers will support projects across low- to extra-high-voltage systems and should be comfortable owning engineering deliverables from preliminary design through construction and commissioning support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform preliminary and detailed engineering design for substation and P&C projects.
• Develop and review protection and control schemes, relay settings, and engineering studies.
• Perform engineering calculations and technical studies to ensure safe, reliable system performance.
• Develop preliminary layouts, circuits, design markups, and technical direction for CAD/design technicians.
• Prepare equipment specifications and support proposal evaluations, equipment selection, and requisitioning.
• Develop project estimates, schedules, and budgetary information.
• Coordinate engineering design and equipment delivery with construction schedules.
• Review engineering drawings and completed designs for accuracy, quality, constructability, and compliance with project requirements.
• Obtain and evaluate field measurements and site data needed to support engineering design.
• Provide construction support and monitor work for compliance with engineering drawings, specifications, codes, and standards.
• Support equipment/material inspections, testing activities, and contractor invoice evaluations as needed.
• Perform complex engineering studies, feasibility assessments, and economic analyses of engineering alternatives.
• Serve as Project Engineer on projects of moderate size and complexity when required.
• Coordinate across engineering disciplines, project management, construction teams, vendors, and other project stakeholders.
• Maintain accurate project documentation and follow applicable QA/QC, safety, and document-control requirements.
• Apply appropriate industry standards, including ANSI/IEEE, National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), and ASTM standards.
• Support the technical development and mentoring of junior engineering personnel as needed.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 3-5+ years of substation engineering/design experience, with Mid/Senior-level candidates preferred.
• Hands-on Protection & Control experience, including settings and engineering studies.
• Experience developing circuits, substation layouts, and design markups.
• Ability to create a preliminary layout or engineering markup and clearly communicate the design to a CAD/design technician for final drafting.
• Experience supporting projects ranging from approximately 120 kV through 760 kV.
• Previous experience working with or supporting electric utilities or power distribution/transmission organizations.
• Proficiency with Bluebeam or similar remote engineering/design collaboration software.
• Experience with AutoCAD and/or MicroStation.
• Strong understanding of applicable utility engineering, construction, safety, QA/QC, and documentation standards.
• Strong communication skills and ability to coordinate effectively across engineering and construction teams.
