Position Overview
We are seeking a Mid-Level Design Engineer to support the design and execution of substation, utility, and power infrastructure projects. This individual will work closely with electrical, Protection & Control, civil, structural, construction, and project management teams to develop accurate, constructible, and high-quality engineering designs.
The ideal candidate will have experience developing engineering drawings, layouts, design packages, and technical markups within a utility or power environment and will be comfortable supporting projects from preliminary design through detailed engineering and construction.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop preliminary and detailed engineering designs for substation, utility, and power infrastructure projects.
- Prepare and review engineering drawings, layouts, schematics, plans, and design packages.
- Develop design concepts, sketches, and technical markups for completion by CAD/design technicians.
- Coordinate design requirements across Protection & Control, electrical, civil, structural, and other engineering disciplines.
- Support the development of substation layouts, equipment arrangements, cable routing, conduit plans, and other project-specific designs.
- Incorporate engineering calculations, specifications, equipment requirements, and field information into project designs.
- Review drawings and completed design packages for accuracy, quality, constructability, and conformance with project requirements.
- Support equipment specifications, material selection, and technical evaluations.
- Coordinate design activities and engineering deliverables with project schedules and construction requirements.
- Participate in site visits and obtain field measurements and existing-condition information necessary to complete designs.
- Review and update existing drawings to accurately reflect field conditions and project modifications.
- Provide engineering and design support during construction and assist with resolving field-related design issues.
- Maintain accurate engineering records, revisions, and project documentation.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable company QA/QC, safety, design, construction, and document-control standards.
- Collaborate with engineers, designers, project managers, construction teams, vendors, and client stakeholders throughout project execution.
