Description
We are expanding our High Voltage Engineering team to support the development of next-generation AI and high-performance computing data centers across North America. This is an opportunity to join a highly experienced engineering team responsible for the complete technical design of utility interconnection substations and transmission switchyards that deliver hundreds of megawatts of reliable power to mission-critical data center campuses. You will play a key role in designing high-voltage infrastructure from concept through commissioning, working on projects ranging from 34.5 kV distribution substations to 345 kV transmission switchyards.
Responsibilities
Develop the electrical and physical design of high-voltage substations and switchyards (34.5 kV–345 kV)
Develop one-line diagrams, protection philosophies, grounding systems, station layouts, and equipment specifications
If applicable, prepare engineering calculations including:
Short-circuit studies
Grounding analysis
Lightning protection
Cable sizing
AC/DC station service
If applicable, prepare design documents including:
Station General Arrangements
Elevations and sectional views
Grounding and conduit details
Foundation and steel details
Control building arrangements and details
Specify and coordinate major equipment including:
Power transformers
Gas circuit breakers
Disconnect switches
Instrument transformers
Protection and control systems
Coordinate with utilities, EPC contractors, civil, structural, transmission line, and protection engineers
Review vendor drawings and provide technical guidance throughout procurement and construction
Support factory acceptance testing (FAT), commissioning, and energization activities
