Protection & Controls (P&C) Engineer - Substations

What You'll Do

• Apply core electrical engineering principles to the design of high-voltage systems (substations, T&D, utility-scale renewables)
• Lead engineering tasks from project kickoff through to design package completion
• Collaborate with civil, structural, SCADA, and protection & control engineers to deliver integrated project solutions
• Prepare technical documentation: one-line diagrams, studies, specs, reports, BOMs, proposals, and client-facing deliverables
• Ensure designs meet NEC, NESC, IEEE, NFPA, ANSI, and other industry standards
• Support project managers with estimating, proposal writing, and client communication
• Participate in interdisciplinary reviews and QA/QC efforts across engineering teams
• Occasionally travel (less than 20%) for field walkdowns, client meetings, or construction support

Protection & Control (P&C)

• Design P&C packages: one-lines, three-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, relays, communication diagrams, SCADA points
• Conduct battery sizing, voltage drop, and conduit fill calcs
• Develop relay settings and perform arc flash and coordination studies
• Interface with SCADA/RTAC systems and vendors for major equipment submittals

Electrical Studies

• Perform studies: short circuit, load flow, grounding, insulation coordination, harmonics, arc flash, etc.
• Use software tools such as ETAP, CYMCAP, PSS/E, SKM, ASPEN, PSCAD, EMTP, and more
• Draft interconnection studies and evaluate compliance with utility or ISO requirements
• Translate technical findings into clear client-facing reports
