Position Overview:
Provide substation physical design, technical support, and coordination to a Transmission Substation engineering and design team for the purpose of delivering safe, cost-effective, and quality design and drafting projects. Provide technical competency on complex problems for projects including a wide range of utility substation projects, battery energy storage systems, and solar collector substations. The incumbent is expected to lead discipline work for projects and manage project schedules and budgets. The incumbent will also support proposal development and project cost estimating.
Duties & Responsibilities Advanced understanding of substation design to include equipment arrangements, equipment specifications, and substation construction as it applies to utility substation and transmission line equipment facilities Create substation physical design project drawings from existing standards based on client standards and industry best practices for utility stations through 500kV, including substation arrangements, sections, and elevations, foundation and grading plans, lighting plans and details, fence plans and details, grounding plans and details, rigid bus designs, strain bus designs, below grade designs to include duct banks and cable trenches, and bus and equipment support structures Create/Improve quality control measures to ensure design and drafting meet standards.
Thoroughly understand the installation of high voltage transformers, group operated disconnect switches, breakers, PTs, CCVTs, line turners, surge arresters, and other equipment within the substation and be able to create/draft sections, details, and overviews Understand grounding designs Oversee the work of junior staff and mentor designers/drafters Experience checking designs for accuracy, appearance, and adherence to customer standards Collaborate, communicate, and liaise effectively with other design disciplines, colleagues, construction contractors, consultants, materials suppliers, and clients Visit sites, advise on physical design issues, and modify design to solve issues during construction Manage budgets and project schedules
Requirements 8+ Year(s) experience in CAD Design Proven Autocad and/or Microstation 2D and 3D skill
