Entry Level Substation Structural Engineer

Takes part in providing local technical assistance for the analysis, design, and delivery of structural engineering solutions supporting projects in the substation industry. Tasks may include basic assistance with engineering, design, calculation development, specifications, and construction documentation for load-bearing structures or structural elements, such as equipment steel structures, foundations, and rigid bus supports. Generates accurate and concise documentation for assigned aspects of the project. Ensures that responsibilities are delivered and adhered to a level of quality that meets or exceeds acceptable industry standards for design, safety, structural soundness, and functionality.

Under general supervision, perform structural engineering work supporting electrical substation projects, including steel structures, rigid bus support design, and reinforced-concrete foundations.

Under general supervision, prepare detailed structural calculations, design criteria, load development, and calculation packages to satisfy client standards, project requirements, and applicable codes and standards (ASCE7, ASCE113, ACI 318, AISC 360, NESC, IEEE, etc.).

Under general supervision, create engineering drawing markups for drafting that align with design calculations.

Assist with developing construction specifications (steel and concrete), cost estimates, and technical inputs for proposals and project schedules.

Perform routine engineering functions and provide entry-level technical assistance and cross-disciplinary coordination (electrical, civil, geotechnical, and construction) to support integrated substation design solutions.

Utilize structural analysis and finite element modeling tools to evaluate and size structural systems and foundations.

Maintain quality control standards and conduct QA/QC reviews of structural deliverables before submission.

Support project structural leads with reporting requirements and technical coordination.
