High Voltage Electrical Engineer

Remotely
Full-time
SCADA COMSOL Autocad

Responsibilities  

- Engineer HV substations and overhead/underground transmission corridors from single-line schematics to detailed construction drawings.  

- Execute insulation coordination—select clearances, surge arresters, and shield wires to withstand lightning and switching surges.  

- Model power-flow, short-circuit, and EMT studies in PSS/E, PSCAD, EMTP, and COMSOL.  

- Specify transformers, GIS breakers, CTs, PTs, and bushings; prepare material take-offs and technical bid evaluations.  

- Direct factory acceptance, type, and routine tests at HV labs; interpret partial-discharge, BIL, and withstand results.  

- Author protective-relaying settings and energization procedures that satisfy NESC, IEEE, and NEC provisions.  

- Investigate field events—faults, ferro-resonance, switching transients—and recommend mitigation.  

- Champion electrical safety culture; train craft and engineering personnel on arc-flash and step-touch potential.  

- Collaborate remotely with civil, mechanical, and SCADA teams using Agile sprints, ensuring integrated deliverables.  

- Mentor junior engineers; review calculations, drawings, and reports before client release.  


Requirements  

- Bachelor’s or higher in Electrical Engineering with HV concentration.  

- 7+ years designing >35 kV utility or industrial power systems.  

- Proficiency in PSS/E, PSCAD, EMTP, COMSOL Multiphysics, AutoCAD or Revit.  

- Demonstrated knowledge of dielectric materials, corona effects, and insulation aging.  

- Hands-on experience with high-voltage test sets, oscillography, and real-time digital simulators.  

- Familiarity with NESC, IEEE C37/NEMA standards, and FERC/NERC compliance.  

- Strong technical writing; ability to distill complex phenomena into concise client reports.  

- Eligibility to obtain Professional Engineer license within 18 months.  

- Comfortable working hybrid or fully remote across multiple time zones.
