Substation Physical Design Engineer

Utility Substations | California | Contract Assignment


If you’ve ever walked into a substation and immediately noticed the drawings were wrong… this project is for you.

Per Sé Group is seeking experienced Substation Physical Design Engineers to support one of the largest utility engineering programs in California.

You’ll review existing engineering packages, then head into the field to verify what’s actually installed—equipment layouts, grounding, conduit, cable routing, structures, foundations, and everything in between.

This isn’t greenfield design.

It’s solving real engineering problems inside operating substations.


If these are already part of your everyday work, we’d love to hear from you…

General Arrangements • Equipment Layouts • Grounding Plans • Conduit Systems • Cable Routing • Structural Steel • Foundations • Brownfield Substations • Field Verification • Engineering Redlines • Utility Design • Existing Conditions • Physical Design


What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of utility substation physical design experience
  • Strong background reviewing physical design drawing packages
  • Experience verifying existing conditions in operating substations
  • Ability to identify engineering discrepancies and develop accurate field documentation
  • Willingness to travel throughout Northern and Central California

Project Highlights

? Utility substations throughout Northern & Central California

?? Travel throughout the client’s service territory

? Rotating engineering review and field investigation schedule
