Lead Protection and Control Engineer

Sargent and Lundy
US - Tennessee - Chattanooga
June 28, 2024

Description

This position will offer you the ability to directly apply your knowledge of protective relaying and controls systems for distribution and high voltage substations. As a Lead Protection & Control Engineer you will primarily review the work of others. That work will typically consist primarily of protection and control schematics and wiring drawings for a wide range of substation modifications and upgrades to support client requirements.

You will be responsible for reviewing protective relaying philosophies, including selection of relay, control, and communications equipment, SCADA and telecommunication concepts and configurations, and I/O assignments and connection diagrams.

You will work on challenging assignments that include investigating, trouble-shooting, and solving a wide variety of substation protection and control issues.

You will perform review of the designs prepared by others for single line diagrams, substation relaying & metering diagrams (i.e. A.C. schematic diagrams), and D.C. schematic diagrams.

Perform independent reviews of work performed by others.

Develop your career via peer-learning through sharing of knowledge with other experienced engineers by way of Sargent & Lundy's systems of processes and associated 'Communities of Practice.'

Provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced engineers.

There is the potential for you to travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant project site locations for construction coordination and field verification of designs.

This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week.
