Substation Engineer

Open 16d reposted 2× · 2 open copies

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.

Why Nexus

You’ll own a piece of what you build. Nexus is employee-owned through our ESOP, so the value you help create comes back to you — not just outside shareholders. We invest in early-career engineers and give them real work from the start.

What you can expect:

  • Employee ownership (ESOP) — build equity in the firm as it grows
  • Broad exposure across substation disciplines — physical design, P&C, studies, and field work — to help you find your path
  • Mentorship from senior engineers who review your work and help you grow
  • Full-service EPCm exposure, from concept through startup, across a diverse client base
  • Career paths that grow with you — toward technical leadership, project management, or discipline leadership
  • Flexible work arrangements where business needs allow

What You’ll Do

  • Develop and revise engineering deliverables — drawings, calculations, specifications, reports, and technical documentation.
  • Support the design and execution of substation projects from planning through construction.
  • Apply industry, client, utility, and company standards to your engineering work products.
  • Coordinate with multidisciplinary project teams — engineers, designers, project managers, clients, vendors, and contractors.
  • Participate in site visits, field investigations, design reviews, and construction-support activities.
  • Assist with equipment selection, design development, engineering analyses, and technical problem-solving.
  • Communicate project status, technical issues, and design recommendations to project stakeholders.
  • Deliver quality work within established schedules and budgets, and contribute to the Substation group’s technical standards and best practices.

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 1+ years of relevant engineering experience — utility, power delivery, electrical infrastructure, or substation engineering, including internship or co-op experience.
  • Understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and engineering design principles.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specifications, standards, and equipment documentation.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting utility, power delivery, industrial, or substation engineering projects.
  • Familiarity with engineering software such as AutoCAD, MicroStation, ETAP, SKM, CYME, CDEGS, Inventor, or similar design and analysis tools.
  • Experience preparing engineering calculations, drawings, specifications, and technical reports.
  • Field, construction, commissioning, utility operations, internship, or co-op experience.
  • Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification, or progress toward professional licensure.

Work Environment & Physical Demands

Work is performed in a hybrid environment that includes office, remote, and active project-site settings. This role may require:

  • Prolonged periods of sitting and working at a computer workstation, with or without reasonable accommodation
  • Periodic travel to substations, construction sites, client facilities, and project locations
  • Site visits that may involve exposure to outdoor weather, energized electrical equipment, noise, heavy equipment, and active construction environments; appropriate PPE must be worn
  • The ability to walk uneven terrain, navigate outdoor substation yards, climb stairs, and access project-site areas, with or without reasonable accommodation
