We are looking for an experienced Electrical Engineering Advisor - Substations & Protection to lead substation and protection & control engineering across our utility-scale renewables portfolio.

What You Will Do
  • Lead the development and continuous improvement of substation and protection & control specifications, standards, and design requirements across utility-scale wind, solar, and energy storage projects
  • Manage external engineering firms and EPC subcontractors to achieve the highest standards of engineering quality and project execution
  • Direct design reviews of high voltage substations and transmission protection schemes, including relay one-lines, three-line diagrams, ground grids, and wiring diagrams
  • Develop and update internal engineering standards in collaboration with Operations Engineering to drive continuous improvement and standardization
  • Coordinate engineering design efforts with EPC partners and owners' engineers, reviewing submittals and ensuring alignment with project requirements
  • Support procurement in running RFPs and managing long-lead material acquisition such as main power transformers and HV breakers
  • Serve as a technical subject matter expert for substation and protection engineering, providing guidance on emerging technologies, industry standards, and regional transmission requirements across ERCOT, MISO, PJM, and CAISO

What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution; concentration or demonstrated experience in power systems engineering preferred
  • Minimum seven (7) years of experience in electrical substation engineering and design supporting utility, transmission, renewable generation, or industrial power systems, including experience with high-voltage substations (69kV+ preferred, 138kV+ strongly preferred)
  • Proficiency in protective relay coordination and settings calculations for HV and EHV transmission systems
  • Experience performing power system analysis, relay coordination, and protection studies using tools such as ASPEN, ETAP, SKM, PSS®E, PSLF, or similar software
  • Knowledge of engineering standards including (NEC, NESC, NEMA, IEEE, ANSI), and reliability frameworks (NERC/FERC)
  • Working knowledge of protective relay platforms, including SEL and GE systems
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across disciplines, vendors, and project teams
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license is a plus, not a requirement

Additional Details
  • This role is eligible for our hybrid in-office work policy and is not eligible for remote working
  • Must be willing and able to comply with all ENGIE ethics and safety policies
  • Must be available to travel domestically up to 20% of the time and with the need for some overnight trips
