Job Description

Key Responsibilities

:

1. Planning and Design

:

Review project requirements and develop the necessary designs for substation systems. Perform load flow analysis, protection coordination, and other electrical calculations as required. Select appropriate electrical components, including transformers, circuit breakers, busbars, and protection systems. Prepare detailed schematics and wiring diagrams for substation equipment. Coordinate with other engineers (civil, mechanical, and systems) to ensure the integration of all substation systems.

2. Erection and Installation

:

Oversee the physical construction and installation of substation equipment, including transformers, switchgear, protection panels, and control systems. Monitor the erection of power lines, busbars, and grounding systems. Ensure proper installation of high-voltage equipment and oversee the setting up of transformers and associated electrical devices. Work with the project management team to ensure that all installation schedules are met and that any delays are addressed promptly. Conduct site surveys and ensure the equipment meets design specifications and local electrical standards.

3. Testing and Commissioning

:

Lead and supervise the testing of electrical equipment and systems after installation. Verify the integrity of insulation, grounding, and protection systems. Test circuit breakers, relays, transformers, and other key components to ensure they operate correctly. Commission the substation and integrate it into the grid or client network. Prepare and submit testing reports, and address any issues arising during the testing phase.

4. Compliance and Safety

:

Ensure that all work complies with local, national, and international standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE, ANSI). Implement health and safety protocols during all phases of the project, from planning through commissioning. Conduct safety audits and inspections during the installation process. Train field staff and technicians on proper safety practices and equipment handling.

5. Project Management

:

Manage project timelines and budgets, ensuring the substation erection is completed efficiently and within the allocated resources. Liaise with clients, contractors, and vendors to ensure the timely delivery of equipment and services. Prepare progress reports and update stakeholders on key project milestones.

6. Maintenance and Troubleshooting

:

Conduct periodic inspections and maintenance of substation equipment. Troubleshoot and resolve any electrical or mechanical issues that may arise in the substation. Support operational teams during any upgrades, repairs, or expansions to the substation.

7. Documentation and Reporting

:

Create and maintain comprehensive documentation, including design drawings, installation procedures, test reports, and maintenance logs. Provide final as-built documentation after project completion. Ensure proper project handover, including user manuals, equipment certifications, and maintenance guidelines.

Qualifications

:

Education

: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. A Master's degree or professional certifications (e.g., PMP, PE) is a plus.

Experience

: Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in substation design, erection, or maintenance. Previous work with high-voltage systems is preferred.

Certifications

: Professional Engineer (PE) license, or similar, is advantageous.

Skills

: Experience with AutoCAD, electrical simulation software, SCADA systems, and power systems analysis.

Physical and Environmental Requirements

:

Ability to work in outdoor, remote, or challenging environments, including construction sites. Willingness to travel to various project sites as required. Must be able to lift and carry heavy equipment and work at heights.
