Staff High Voltage Electrical Engineer (EPC) — Build the Backbone of American Clean Energy

Carson City, NV | Full-Time | $150,000 – $190,000

The Opportunity

Substations, transmission interconnections, grid-scale storage — if designing serious high voltage infrastructure is your thing, this is your role. Our client, a fast-growing clean energy innovator, is hiring a Staff High Voltage Electrical Engineer to lead the design of 69kV–345kV substations and serve as Engineer of Record on projects central to domestic clean energy production. You'll own design packages from first concept through commissioning.

Why You'll Love It

Big-iron scope: Transmission-level substations, utility and ISO/RTO interconnections, and BESS integration

Impact you can point to: Infrastructure that directly powers the energy transition

What You'll Do

Lead design of high voltage AC systems — industrial substations (69kV–345kV) integrated with transmission lines and MV distribution
Develop single-line diagrams, physical layouts, protection and control systems, relay coordination, and grounding plans
Perform grid simulation and stability studies (PSSE, PSLF, PSCAD, ASPEN OneLiner) plus short circuit, load flow, and arc flash analysis
Work directly with utilities and ISO/RTOs on interconnection studies, permitting, and compliance
Develop SEL relay settings and select HV equipment — switchgear, breakers, transformers, reactors, PTs/CTs, protection relays
Lead NEC, IEEE, NESC, and NFPA compliance reviews
Support construction and commissioning with field engineering, testing, and troubleshooting
Lead R&D into medium voltage DC distribution for BESS integration
Manage scope, schedule, budget, and cost estimates across your design packages
Mentor junior engineers and set team design standards

BS/MS in Electrical Engineering (ABET)
Active PE (Nevada or reciprocity-eligible); NV and SC licensure within 2 months of start
10+ years of high voltage electrical design, EPC background preferred
Advanced proficiency: PSSE/PSLF, PSCAD/EMTP, SEL AcSELerator, ASPEN OneLiner, ETAP/SKM, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Bluebeam
Bonus points: HVDC/converter station design, SCADA/substation automation, field commissioning experience
A passion for sustainability and building things that last
