2 weeks ago

Walnut Creek, California, United States Sargent & Lundy Full time

This role provides an exceptional opportunity to leverage your expertise in protective relaying and control systems for both distribution and high voltage substations.

As a Senior Protection & Control Engineer, your primary responsibility will be to evaluate the work of your peers.

Your evaluations will focus on protection and control schematics, as well as wiring diagrams, for a diverse array of substation modifications and enhancements tailored to meet client specifications.

You will be tasked with assessing protective relaying strategies, which encompass the selection of relays, control systems, and communication equipment, alongside SCADA and telecommunication configurations, including I/O assignments and connection diagrams.

Your assignments will be intellectually stimulating, involving the investigation, troubleshooting, and resolution of various substation protection and control challenges.

You will conduct thorough reviews of designs created by others, which will include single line diagrams, substation relaying and metering diagrams (A.C. schematic diagrams), and D.C. schematic diagrams.
Additionally, you will perform independent evaluations of work completed by your colleagues.

This position also allows for professional growth through collaborative learning, as you will share knowledge with other seasoned engineers via Sargent & Lundy’s established processes and “Communities of Practice.”

As a mentor, you will guide the development of junior engineers, fostering their skills and expertise.

There may be opportunities for travel to client and vendor locations for design evaluations, as well as project sites for construction coordination and field verification of designs.

This position supports a hybrid work model, allowing you to work in the office three days a week while enjoying the flexibility of remote work for two days. Depending on your location, a generous relocation package may be available.

Qualifications:

We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.

  • A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) with a focus on power systems or controls from an ABET-accredited program.
  • A minimum of 10 years of experience specializing in protection, control, and telecommunications for high voltage substations, including design, installation, and coordination.
  • Familiarity with design methodologies, tools, and principles necessary for producing technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.
  • Knowledge of relevant design codes and standards, such as NEC, NESC, NEMA, IEEE, and ANSI.
  • Experience with various vendor protective relay equipment commonly utilized in substation protection.
  • Proficiency in MS Office applications.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • Experience in in-line, bus, and equipment protection, as well as control systems for breakers, transformers, and similar equipment, including RTU and SCADA systems, telemetering, and communications (fiber optics, microwave, power line carrier, etc.).

  • Experience in construction and start-up phases.
  • Testing or commissioning experience.
  • Possession of a Professional Engineer (PE) license.
