What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Project Engineer, Substation position at AmpionGC?
A top-ranked power engineering consultancy is hiring an electrical project engineer to support substation design and EPC delivery up to 765kV, with a clear track toward senior and lead roles.

- Real design ownership on high-voltage substation work from your first project
- Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, employer-matched retirement, and tuition reimbursement
- An annual performance bonus on top of base pay
- Paid time off, and a flexible hybrid schedule after your first 90 days
- The backing of a Top-10 nationally ranked ENR power engineering firm
What you'll do
- Support substation design and EPC delivery on projects up to 765kV
- Develop protection and control and physical design deliverables for high-voltage substations
- Prepare equipment specifications and bills of materials for procurement
- Coordinate with clients, vendors, and other disciplines on assigned projects
- Manage project budgets and schedules, and mentor junior engineers
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in engineering plus 5 years of substation design experience
- High-voltage substation design experience, physical and/or protection & controls
- Comfortable managing budget, schedule, and quality on assigned work
- PE license preferred
