Junior Electrical Substation Design Engineer
Job Summary
The Junior Electrical Substation Design Engineer will become an integral part of a multidisciplinary engineering group that delivers endtoend substation solutions for both transmission and distribution networks. Working under the mentorship of senior engineers the role offers a blend of handson drafting analytical calculations and collaborative project support. The engineer will be expected to translate client requirements into detailed engineering packages that meet stringent utility standards and international safety codes.
Primary responsibilities include the preparation of highvoltage (HV) layout drawings sections and detailed singleline diagrams (SLDs). The candidate will draft both primary and secondary schematics ensuring that interlocking schemes and wiring diagrams are accurate and fully addition the engineer will assist in the development of grounding and earthing designs calculate DC battery loading and estimate auxiliary AC power demands all under the supervision of experienced staff.
Technical analysis forms a core component of the position. The junior engineer will support load flow studies shortcircuit calculations and preliminary protection coordination using industrystandard software such as ETAP and PowerWorld. While senior engineers will review and validate the results the junior member is responsible for setting up the models inputting data and interpreting the outcomes to identify potential design improvements.
Compliance and safety are nonnegotiable aspects of the role. The engineer must stay current with national and international standards such as IEC IEEE and local utility guidelines. All deliverables will be subjected to rigorous quality checks to ensure they meet the required performance reliability and safety criteria before submission to clients or regulatory bodies.
Beyond technical duties the position offers professional growth opportunities. Exposure to live substation projects in both Ahmedabad and Gurugram provides a practical understanding of regional grid requirements and operational challenges. The junior engineer will gain experience in crossfunctional teamwork project scheduling and stakeholder communication building a solid foundation for future advancement into senior design or project management roles.
Ideal candidates will possess a or B.E. in Electrical Engineering with 25 years of experience in substation design or related powersystem work. Proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical ETAP and PowerWorld combined with strong analytical skills and a meticulous approach to documentation will enable success in this role. The organization values proactive learning attention to detail and a collaborative mindset ensuring that each team member contributes to the delivery of safe reliable and costeffective power infrastructure.
