Substation Protection & Controls Engineer III

About this role

Role Summary As an Electrical Engineer III – Substation Protection Controls (P C) on Revamp’s High Voltage Engineering team, you’ll drive P C design for high-voltage substations that enable renewable energy interconnections. You’ll own the development and refining of single-line and three-line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, wiring diagrams, and related documentation while translating utility interconnection requirements and client inputs into clear, buildable deliverables. This is a hands-on, production-focused role that calls for strong engineering judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the confidence to move designs forward independently while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary partners in an employee-owned culture accelerating the clean-energy transition. Please note, the salary advertised above is in USD. The CAD salary range for this role is approximately C$154,000 - C$192,000. Duties Responsibilities Project Delivery Execution Develop protection control design packages for renewable energy substations, including single-line diagrams (SLDs), three-line diagrams, AC and DC schematics, wiring/connection diagrams, and relay and protection panel layouts. Independently design collector and interconnection substation P C systems and apply appropriate protection philosophies. Adapt designs in fast-paced development environments with limited or evolving information. Produce high-quality AutoCAD Electrical and Substation Design Suite (SDS) drawings consistent with Revamp standards. Coordinate with physical substation, civil, structural, and power systems teams to deliver integrated design packages. Review subconsultant deliverables for technical accuracy, quality, and schedule alignment. Client Stakeholder Coordination Support client interaction for multiple projects within a portfolio. Present design assumptions and respond to technical feedback. Serve as a technical point of contact for early-stage P C scope. Coordinate with project managers to align client deliverables. Ensure documentation aligns with utility interconnection requirements and client expectations. Quality Compliance Apply standard engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria independently. Leverage experienced staff for clear design direction as needed. Formulate and solve complex substation P C design problems. Ensure compliance with company, industry, trade, and jurisdictional safety standards, practices, and codes. Identify opportunities to improve templates, workflows, and design efficiency. Additional Responsibilities Develop work plans for assigned tasks. Provide mentorship to less experienced staff as appropriate. Perform essential duties including meeting deliverables and deadlines. Perform additional related tasks as assigned. Experience, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities Required Associate’s degree or greater in a related engineering discipline, Bachelor’s degree preferred. Candidates without a 4-year degree may be considered for the “Substation Designer III” role. 5+ years of relevant substation Protection Control design experience. Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD, including AutoCAD Electrical, for production-level drawing development. Demonstrated experience developing: Single-line diagrams (SLDs) Three-line diagrams AC and DC schematics and wiring diagrams Protection Control (P C) design documentation Working knowledge of high-voltage substation equipment and protection philosophies. High level of independence paired with sound judgment to seek guidance when appropriate. Strong written and verbal communication skills suitable for client-facing discussions. Organized and detail-oriented with the ability to manage fast-turn assignments. Preferred Experience with Substation Design Suite (SDS) as a smart layer integrated with AutoCAD Electrical. Experience with renewable energy interconnection substations. Prior client-facing experience in a consulting environment. Experience supporting both development and EPC delivery phases.
