Substation Engineer-P&C
Substation Engineer-P&C
About the role
The Substation P&C Engineer serves as an engineer on electric substation design projects for high-voltage utility systems and renewable energy interconnection projects. He/she will apply NESC, NEC, and other applicable codes and standards in the engineering design and will also independently produce: one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, potential and current schematics, control schematics, alarm schematics, communications schematics, wiring diagrams, protection and control specifications, and I/O mapping. He/she should be familiar with protection scheme functionality. The ability to develop relay settings and associated points mapping is not required but preferred. He/she will also work with other internal and external project stakeholders to ensure project milestones and expectations of contracted services are met.
Responsibilities
- Performs all aspects of design for high voltage (4kV – 230kV) and EHV (above 230kV) substation projects to include:
- Development of
- One-line diagrams
- Three-line diagrams
- Potential and current schematics
- Control schematics
- Alarm schematics
- Communications schematics
- Wiring Diagrams
- Protection and control specifications (Preferred)
- I/O mapping (Preferred)
- Points mapping (Preferred)
- Relay settings (Preferred)
- Documentation for Design Calculations
- Construction Documentation (Sequence and RFP)
- Technical Support
- Procurement
- Construction
- Active Coordination
- Ability to work seamlessly with a P&C Designer to develop the above listed schematics as well as the associated wiring diagrams.
- Ability to coordinate efforts with other various external and internal project team members, with familiarity in identifying when coordination is needed with certain design disciplines such as transmission line engineers, distribution line engineers, telecom engineers, etc.
Qualifications
- Requires a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from a recognized accredited program
