Substation Engineer

Full-time

nexuse-group

Nexus Engineering Group is employee-owned, full-service, and built by the people who do the work. As a Substation Engineer, you’ll help design, analyze, and deliver electrical substation projects for utility, industrial, and power delivery clients — with exposure across the full breadth of substation engineering.

You’ll support the design, analysis, and execution of substation projects from planning through construction, contributing across disciplines — physical design, protection and control, engineering studies, technical documentation, field investigations, and construction support. It’s a broad, hands-on role for a collaborative problem-solver who wants to grow across complex infrastructure projects while delivering high-quality engineering.
