The Transmission Stations Engineering Division provides engineering services and expertise related to the design of electric utility substations. We provide engineering design for substation projects, including civil, electrical, fire protection, mechanical, and structural. The Division is also responsible for the specification, evaluation, and acquisition of major electrical equipment and construction support service. We provide engineering studies, standards, specifications, design solutions, construction documentation, and engineering oversight of work done by engineering service partners. We also provide technical support during procurement, construction, testing and commissioning.
We currently have an exciting opportunity for an Engineer 1 (EIT) in the Transmission Stations' Electrical Design team.
