Substation Engineer – P&C Westwood Professional Services, Inc. The Substation P&C Engineer serves as an engineer on electric substation design projects for high‑voltage utility systems and renewable energy interconnection projects. The engineer applies NESC, NEC, and other applicable codes and standards in the engineering design and independently produces one‑line diagrams, three‑line diagrams, potential and current schematics, control schematics, alarm schematics, protection and control specifications, and I/O mapping. A familiarity with protection scheme functionality is required. The ability to develop relay settings and associated point mapping is preferred. The engineer will also work with other internal and external project stakeholders to ensure project milestones and expectations of contracted services are met. Requirements Performs all aspects of design for high‑voltage (4kV – 230kV) and EHV (above 230kV) substation projects to include: Development of One‑line diagrams Three‑line diagrams Potential and current schematics Control schematics Alarm schematics Communications schematics Wiring diagrams Protection and control specifications (Preferred) I/O mapping (Preferred) Points mapping (Preferred) Relay settings (Preferred) Documentation for design calculations Construction documentation (sequence and RFP) Technical support Procurement Construction Active coordination Ability to work seamlessly with a P&C Designer to develop the above listed schematics as well as the associated wiring diagrams. Ability to coordinate efforts with other external and internal project team members, with familiarity in identifying when coordination is needed with certain design disciplines such as transmission line engineers, distribution line engineers, telecom engineers, etc. Other expectations Keenly focused on production of high‑quality work and supports continuous improvement efforts.
