We're looking for a strong engineering leader to guide our Substation Electrical Design (STE) team and play a critical role in the design and delivery of our electric substation projects. In this role, you'll do more than manage projects - you'll shape strategy, mentor top technical talent, and ensure our substation infrastructure supports community growth with safety, reliability and compliance at the forefront. This position offers the opportunity to influence long-term system reliability and leave a meaningful mark on both the organization and the communities we serve. You'll work alongside experts who value safety, innovation, and professional growth, while fostering a team culture that attracts and retains top engineering talent.

How You'll Make an Impact

• As the supervisor of our Substation Electrical Design team, you will:
  • Lead a high-performing team of electrical engineering professionals executing substation electrical protection and controls design, as well as an engineering technical support team responsible for CAD design for electrical, civil/structural, transmission and distribution designs
  • Provide engineering leadership and design oversight for new substations, substation expansions, equipment replacements, system capacity additions, reliability and compliance upgrades, and projects addressing aging infrastructure
  • Drive projects from concept to close out, partnering with the Project Management team to oversee scope, schedule, budget, as built documentation, and final system turnover
  • Plan, prioritize, assign, and review engineering work to support project schedules and organizational commitments; forecast workload and resource needs and balance assignments across the team
  • Navigate complex regulatory and industry challenges, aligning design solutions with internal policies and standards, evolving electric utility industry standards and applicable NERC requirements
  • Ensure engineering excellence by reviewing design documents for safety, reliability, constructability, and cost effectiveness
  • Foster a collaborative work environment and build effective partnerships with System Planning, Operations, Construction, Maintenance, Project Management, and other internal and external stakeholders
  • Champion compliance and documentation quality, ensuring records are complete and audit ready
  • Develop, maintain, and continuously improve substation design standards, specifications, procedures, and engineering practices to promote safe, consistent, efficient, and high-quality designs
  • Coach and develop your team, supporting career growth, engagement, and long term success

What You Bring

• We're seeking a leader who combines technical depth with people leadership:
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering is required; a Master's degree and/or Professional Engineer license strongly valued
  • Progressive experience in substation electrical design, substation design and construction standards, and applicable NERC compliance requirements
  • Proven experience leading, coaching, and developing engineering teams
  • Strong understanding of regulatory environments and utility infrastructure challenges
  • The ability to balance technical rigor with sound judgment, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and empower teams while holding high standards
