Protection & Control Engineer
Utility Substations | California | Contract Assignment
Do you know the difference between what’s on the drawing… and what’s actually in the substation?
We’re looking for experienced Protection & Control Engineers to support a large utility engineering program involving substation drawing reviews, engineering validation, and field investigations throughout Northern and Central California.
This isn’t traditional design work.
You’ll spend several weeks reviewing protection drawings, relay schematics, and engineering packages before heading into the field to verify existing conditions at operating substations. Then you’ll do it again on the next phase.
If you enjoy solving engineering puzzles and seeing how substations are actually built, this project is for you.
If these are already part of your everyday work, we should talk…
Protection & Control • SEL Relays • GE Multilin • AC/DC Schematics • One-Line Diagrams • Relay Panels • CT/PT Circuits • Wiring Diagrams • Brownfield Substations • Field Verification • Drawing Reviews • Utility Engineering • Engineering Redlines
What You’ll Bring
- 5+ years of Protection & Control engineering experience
- Utility substation engineering background
- Ability to review complex electrical drawings and identify discrepancies
- Experience performing engineering field investigations and documenting existing conditions
- Willingness to travel throughout Northern and Central California
Project Highlights
? Utility substations throughout Northern & Central California
?? Travel throughout the client’s service territory
? Rotating project schedule: engineering reviews followed by field investigations
? Immediate project with work anticipated through year-end
