Sr Design Engineer

Job Summary

The Sr Design Engineer will lead the design and development of complex engineering solutions for GIS and AIS substations, ensuring performance, quality, and cost targets are met. This role involves coordination with multiple stakeholders and technical excellence in substation projects.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate project engineering deliverables for assigned scope with internal and external stakeholders.
• Prepare and review structure design calculations and drawings for equipment structures, gantry towers, and beams.
• Conduct SCF and Sag-tension calculations for gantry towers, beams, and equipment support structures.
• Prepare and review overall equipment layouts, arrangement layouts, earthing, cable routing, lightning protection, electrical clearances, cut out drawings, civil guides, and foundation layouts for AIS and GIS substations.
• Perform design calculations for substations including short circuit forces, cantilever strength, conductor sizing, cable ampacity, earthing, and lightning protection systems.
• Review supplier documents for AIS and GIS equipment, power and auxiliary transformers, earthing transformers, and MV switchgear.
• Prepare BOQ for primary equipment, gantries, equipment support structures, cabling systems, earthing, and lightning protection systems.
• Coordinate with Civil and MEP disciplines regarding inputs, interfaces, and services in substations.

Requirements

• Experience with 33kV/132kV/220kV/400kV GIS and AIS projects.
• 8-10 years of primary engineering experience in substation projects, preferably in Jordan, Egypt, Africa, or Middle East markets.
• Experience preparing and reviewing equipment layouts, earthing, cable routing, lightning protection, electrical clearances, cut out drawings, civil guides, and foundation layouts.
• Knowledge of design calculations for AIS and GIS substations including short circuit forces, cantilever strength, conductor sizing, cable ampacity, earthing, and lightning protection.
• Experience estimating BOQ for primary equipment, gantries, equipment support structures, cabling, earthing, and lightning protection systems.
• Experience reviewing supplier documents for AIS and GIS equipment, transformers, and MV switchgear.
• Familiarity with structure design criteria, load combinations, and verification of structure design related to electrical and mechanical inputs.
• Experience coordinating project engineering activities and working with Civil and MEP disciplines.
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
• Drafting skills using REVIT or AUTOCAD are an advantage.
