Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Protection & Control professional to support the design and delivery of high-voltage substation projects, including renewable generation and grid interconnection facilities. This position will independently develop detailed P&C drawings, coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, and contribute to projects from early development through detailed design and construction.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop complete substation Protection & Control drawing packages, including:
  • Single-line and three-line diagrams
  • AC/DC schematics
  • Wiring and connection diagrams
  • Relay and protection panel layouts
  • Control and protection documentation
• Design P&C systems for collector, interconnection, and other high-voltage substations.
• Apply appropriate protection philosophies and engineering practices to project-specific requirements.
• Produce and maintain detailed drawings using AutoCAD Electrical and related substation design tools.
• Coordinate designs with physical substation, civil, structural, and power systems engineering teams.
• Review third-party or subcontractor design packages for technical quality and completeness.
• Support project managers and clients by addressing technical questions, design assumptions, and changing project requirements.
• Ensure designs meet applicable utility requirements, codes, safety standards, and industry practices.
• Support improvements to design templates, workflows, and engineering processes.
• Provide technical guidance to junior designers and engineers when needed.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of substation Protection & Control design experience.
• Strong production-level experience with AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical.
• Hands-on experience developing substation schematics, wiring diagrams, SLDs, three-lines, and P&C design packages.
• Good understanding of high-voltage substation equipment, relay applications, and protection schemes.
• Ability to independently manage design assignments while coordinating with broader project teams.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and communication skills.
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in engineering, engineering technology, or a related discipline preferred; equivalent industry experience may also be considered.

Preferred Experience

• Renewable generation, BESS, or utility interconnection projects.
• Consulting or EPC project environments.
• Substation-specific CAD/design platforms integrated with AutoCAD.
• Coordination of subcontractors or multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Python, scripting, or engineering workflow automation.
• EIT certification or similar technical credentials.
