What You'll Do

• Design foundations and steel
• Lead design and review of:
  • Transformer and equipment foundations
  • Control house foundations
  • Trenches
  • Oil containment and substation concrete systems
  • Gantry, H-frames, rigid bus supports, switch supports, steel structures, and related loading and connection details
• Apply geotechnical data, site conditions and electrical equipment loads to foundation and structural calculations
• Integrate and deliver:
  • Coordinate with physical substation, P&C, electrical and transmission teams to resolve clearance and constructability interfaces
  • Develop and review calculations, drawings, specifications, RFI responses, vendor submittals and IFC packages
  • Provide field and construction support, including design changes, as needed
• Lead technical quality:
  • Manage QA/QC for civil/structural deliverables, including work from external engineering partners
  • Lead, mentor and technically guide project engineers, EITs and designers
  • Support multiple renewable, utility, BESS and high-voltage substation projects

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural or a closely related engineering discipline, and an active PE or P.Eng license
• At least 5 years of technical design experience supporting high-voltage substations through at least 345 kV
• Hands-on foundation calculations, including HV transformer foundations and oil containment design
• Hands-on structural steel engineering for H-frames, equipment supports and HV substation structures
• Ability to interpret geotechnical investigations, loading criteria and structural and substation codes
• Experience preparing and reviewing IFC packages and responding to RFIs and field issues

Requirements

• Experience with projects through 765 kV and with transmission line foundations
• BESS, MV transformer, solar, wind or related power facilities
• STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, AutoCAD, Civil 3D or Revit, and consulting or EPC experience

Tools you'll use

• STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit or equivalent
• ACI, AISC, ASCE, IEEE and project-specific codes

What Success Looks Like

• First 30 days: Learn INS's calculation, drafting and QA/QC standards, meet the physical substation, P&C and electrical teams, and review geotechnical reports and loading criteria behind active projects
• 60 days: Run your own foundation and steel calculations for transformer foundations, oil containment and H-frame or equipment supports, and respond to RFIs and vendor submittals on live projects
• 90 days: Validate the technical status of active transformer foundation, containment and steel structure deliverables, and issue reviewed, PE-stamped IFC packages
• 6 months: Independently own calculations, IFC reviews and multidisciplinary field-issue responses
• 12 months: Build a repeatable QA/QC and mentorship approach for substation civil/structural work
