What You’ll Be Doing

VPS is currently seeking a Substation Designer. As a Substation Designer, you will work with VPS power company clients, facilitating their design and deployment of electric power distribution systems that meet their long-term goals. The types of projects may include multi-year, phased construction projects; grant applications with tight deadlines; and other initiatives.

The Substation Designer is responsible for assisting in the design and oversight of the construction of power substations to meet our partner’s needs. The Designer is responsible for properly developing control schemes including relay schematics, wiring diagrams, SCADA layouts, etc.


The ideal candidate is organized, eager to learn, professional, and adaptable. Attention to detail and strong interpersonal communication skills are vital. The nature of the role requires a team player – meaning someone who can take ownership of assigned tasks, collaborate well with other members of the team, and proactively seeks to help team members push a project to the finish line. This position does not have supervisory responsibility.

  • Perform control setting for coordinated regulators, LTCs, capacitors, etc.
  • Create or modify all drawings and specifications used for design and construction
  • Initiate and support the required permitting processes
  • Develop substation grounding designs and reviewing existing grounding designs
  • Review substation structural designs for compatibility with substation electrical requirements
  • Stay up to date on applicable code requirements
  • Occasional field visits to project sites
  • Physical programming of elements and devices
  • Establish and maintain effective working relationships with clients and VPS staff.

Required Education & Experience

  • A BSEE or BSEET degree, from an ABET accredited university, preferably with a power option.
  • Experience working on multidisciplinary project teams
  • Experience working with modeling and coordination software
  • Engineer in Training certificate (EIT) or ability to obtain one upon hiring.
  • Internship or co-op experience with a utility.
  • Manage multiple tasks and work effectively with different personalities.
  • Travel should be expected.

Desired Education & Experience

  • Engineering degree, from an ABET accredited university, preferably with a power option.
  • Experience designing electrical utility substations
  • Familiarity with engineering standards such as RUS, IEEE, ANSI and NESC
  • Effective oral and written communications
  • Ability to manage cross-department communication
  • Strong technical writing skills
  • Experience researching and applying codes and ordinances
  • The candidate must have strong command of the English language with good written and oral communication skills to work effectively with internal team members and external client personnel.
  • Strong knowledge and understanding of electrical engineering upon which to build.
  • Must be able to successfully pass clients’ background screening process.
  • Must have a valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
  • The ability to pass a background check/drug test/driving record check.
