Perform professional electrical engineering work associated with substation physical and/or protection and control (P&C) design, including one‑line and three‑line diagrams, wiring and interconnection diagrams, general arrangements, substation layouts, bus configurations, grounding grid design, and lightning protection systems.
Plan and incorporate utility‑driven design strategies, including equipment sizing, AC/DC systems, control panel layouts, cabling, raceway (conduit and cable tray) systems, and trenching designs that account for operational safety, reliability, and maintenance requirements.
Review electrical calculations including load flow, short circuit, grounding (touch and step potential), equipment sizing, insulation coordination, and protective device coordination, and provide technical oversight for substation switchyard layouts and equipment interfaces.
Develop and review plans, specifications, cost estimates, and constructability sequencing considerations, coordinating with owners, clients, contractors, and internal multi‑disciplinary teams.
Be involved from project inception through construction completion, providing technical leadership and project engineering support for new substation builds, expansions, retrofits, and rehabilitation programs.
Oversee and support cross‑functional teams of engineers and designers on concurrent projects, ensuring technical quality, scope execution, and coordination with procurement and construction activities.
Prepare technical data and documentation including calculations, reports, sketches, schedules, and presentations that communicate design intent, engineering decisions, and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.
Support field visits and site walkdowns to verify design assumptions, address constructability issues, and resolve technical questions during project execution.
Interact with utility clients, contractors, vendors, and project stakeholders in a professional manner.
Collaborate with engineers and other disciplines on utility substation projects, including technical support for proposal development and business development efforts.
Remain current in electrical engineering and substation design practices.
Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures.
