Responsibilities
Lead structural engineering efforts for utility substation projects including control enclosures, transformer foundations, dead-end structures, capacitor banks, and static masts
Review project documents and develop structural Basis of Design (BOD), including loads, design codes, geotechnical inputs, and material assumptions
Design and size shallow and deep foundations (e.g., spread footings, drilled piers, embedded posts) based on geotechnical recommendations and equipment loads
Perform load calculations (dead, live, wind, seismic) and develop structural models using accepted FEA tools (e.g., RISA, RAM, STAAD)
Coordinate with geotechnical engineers to integrate foundation performance assumptions and loading capacities (e.g., LPILE, MFAD inputs)
Prepare structural drawings, elevations, details, and specifications using AutoCAD and/or Revit for each milestone (30%, 60%, 90%, IFC)
Coordinate with electrical engineers, control enclosure vendors, transformer manufacturers, and structure suppliers to obtain and interpret structural performance requirements
Support client-facing meetings to present a design approach and resolve technical comments
Review vendor-supplied structural performance requirements and incorporate into foundation and anchorage design
Respond to RFIs and submittals related to structural foundations, design assumptions, and special inspections
Provide input on internal design standards, templates, and QA/QC processes for substation projects
Assist in developing resource plans, scopes, and estimates for future HV structural projects
Serve as a technical mentor to junior structural engineers working on electrical infrastructure
Collaborate with civil and geotechnical teams to ensure fully integrated substation site design
Stay current on relevant codes (IBC, ASCE 7, NESC, etc.), utility standards, and AHJ requirements
Qualification
Required
Professional Engineer (PE) license
Bachelor's degree in civil or Structural Engineering
8+ years of structural engineering experience, including at least 3–5 years specifically supporting high voltage substations or transmission infrastructure
Proficiency with structural design software (e.g., RISA, RAM, STAAD, or equivalent FEA tools)
Proficient in AutoCAD
Strong understanding of applicable codes and standards (IBC, ASCE 7, NESC, IEEE, utility-specific structural criteria)
Experience with interpretation of geotechnical reports and integration of foundation parameters (bearing capacity, LPILE, corrosion, etc.)
Excellent communication, coordination, and client-facing skills
Willingness to travel occasionally for field visits, site walkdowns, or client meetings (approx. 5–10%)
Preferred
Master's degree in civil or Structural Engineering
Revit experience a plus
