MDA Edge

Substation Design Engineer
An industry leader in power delivery engineering is seeking a Substation Design Engineer to serve as a technical lead on projects ranging from distribution to sub-transmission and transmission voltage classes. This is a hybrid role of 3 Days Onsite & 2 Days Remote. Our ideal candidate will come from another engineering consulting company rather than a utility.
We have three openings for this job position which are listed below (one for each):

Seven Hills, Ohio || Base Salary: USD $120,000 to $140,000
Atlanta, Georgia || Base Salary: USD $130,000 to $145,000
Cary, North Carolina || Base Salary: USD $125,000 to $140,000
Key Responsibilities:

Lead substation physical and/or protection & control (P&C) design efforts.
Develop electrical engineering deliverables using tools such as CYME.
Manage project schedules, budgets, and resource planning.
Interface directly with clients, vendors, and subcontractors.
Oversee QA/QC processes and mentor junior engineers.
Support renewable energy integration and grid modernization projects.
Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in engineering required.
Minimum 5+ years of HV utility substation design experience (69kV–500kV or EHV 500kV+), either in physical or protection & control design.
Prior experience with a consulting engineering firm on utility substation projects required.
PE license or ability to obtain PE within 1–2 years required.
Strong project leadership and QA/QC experience highly desirable.
Additional Information:

Competitive benefits including flexible work schedules, 401k match, health insurance, and performance-based bonuses.
Company culture focused on innovation, teamwork, and employee ownership.
Please note:

Candidates with less than 5 years of substation design experience will not be considered.
Experience limited to industrial, manufacturing, or LV/MV distribution is not a fit.
Candidates currently employed by utilities may be considered if they have strong consulting-style design experience.
