Occasional travel will be required. What you’ll bring to WSP Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology Diploma. Five (5) to Ten (10) years of experience in utility substation design as outlined below. Experience in 15kV through 138kV substation design and IEEE/ANSI standards. Proven experience taking a written design basis memorandum (DBM) or scope of work (SOW) and developing a detailed physical substation design and drawing package using sound engineering judgement and industry/client standards with minimal oversight, and cross‑coordinate effectively with civil, P&C, and studies engineers. Previous experience in the role of substation design engineer for multiple projects occurring concurrently (brownfield and greenfield projects). Proven ability and desire to mentor and teach others in a high‑paced design project environment. Professional license (P.Eng) or P.L. (Eng.) a plus. Experience in 230kV through 500kV substation design a plus. Experience with MicroStation (V8 or newer) or AutoCAD (2016 or newer) a plus.
