Full Job Description

Substation Protection & Controls Wireman

This role focuses on installing and wiring protection and control systems within electrical substations across Colorado. The Substation Protection & Controls Wireman works on both greenfield and brownfield substations at various stages of energization, performing precise point-to-point control wiring and panel installations. This position offers a clear pathway to more advanced and higher-paying roles such as pre-commissioning agent or commissioning agent for those who demonstrate strong technical skills and reliability.

Responsibilities

Install and wire protection and control systems in substation environments, including both greenfield and brownfield sites.
Perform point-to-point control wiring on substation equipment, relay panels, and control panels using low-voltage conductors.
Read, interpret, and independently follow electrical schematics and wiring diagrams to complete installations accurately.
Execute panel wiring and electrical assembly tasks, ensuring neat, organized, and compliant wiring practices.
Support protection and controls installation work by assisting with equipment terminations, cable routing, and panel integration.
Verify wiring connections against schematics and diagrams, identifying and correcting discrepancies or issues as needed.
Work safely and effectively in energized and non-energized substation environments while following all site safety procedures.
Remain on-site for extended periods, typically working 10-hour days, and maintain productivity throughout the project duration.
Adapt to different project stages and site conditions, including new construction (greenfield) and existing facilities (brownfield).
Collaborate with other technicians and field personnel to ensure timely completion of substation projects across Colorado.

Essential Skills

Approximately 2+ years of hands-on control wiring experience in industrial or commercial environments.
Proven experience performing control wiring rather than general electrical or residential work.
Ability to read, interpret, and follow electrical schematics and wiring diagrams independently.
Experience wiring #10 AWG and smaller conductors for control circuits and low-voltage applications.
Demonstrated skills in control wiring, panel wiring, point-to-point wiring, and electrical assembly.
Familiarity with protection and controls systems and low-voltage wiring in substation or similar environments.
Comfort working in substation environments, including both greenfield and brownfield sites.
Ability to work long on-site shifts (typically 10-hour days), including standing for extended periods and working in awkward positions.
Strong mechanical aptitude and capability to perform physically demanding tasks in field conditions.
Backgrounds that translate well, such as HVAC controls wiring, panel shop wiring, fire alarm wiring, PLC wiring, or solar and wind controls wiring.
Residential-only electrical experience is not applicable for this role.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Previous experience in substation environments or utility-related projects is beneficial.
Exposure to pre-commissioning or commissioning activities in electrical systems is an advantage.
Ability to adapt to changing project locations and work independently with minimal supervision.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality wiring and installation practices.
Effective communication skills to coordinate with field teams and supervisors.
Motivation to grow into more technical roles such as pre-commissioning agent or commissioning agent.

Work Environment

This position is field-based and involves working in electrical substations throughout Colorado, with most projects located in the Denver metropolitan area and some in the Colorado Springs region. Technicians typically work a schedule of five days per week with 10-hour shifts, and projects often last several months at a single site, providing stability while on assignment. The work takes place in both greenfield (new construction) and brownfield (existing) substation environments, which may involve exposure to outdoor conditions, varying weather, and active electrical infrastructure. The role requires standing for long periods, working in awkward positions, and handling low-voltage conductors and control wiring within panels and equipment. Candidates who live in or near the Denver Metro or Colorado Springs areas are well-positioned for this role due to the project locations.

This is a Contract position based out of Centennial, CO.
