Denver Competitive Permanent

Substation and Microgrid Design Supervisor

Denver, CO  ·  Hybrid  ·  Full Time

$120,000 to $143,000 a year, plus eligibility for the Short Term Incentive Plan

Our client needs someone who can run a drafting and design team and own the full design lifecycle for substations and microgrids, not just draft plans and pass them along. If you've led a team before and you know your way around AutoCAD and a set of grounding grids, we want to talk to you.

What you'll be doing

  • Supervise a drafting and design team from start to finish
  • Develop designs that meet company standards and procedures
  • Create plans, elevations, sections, and bills of material for substations and microgrids
  • Prepare single line, three line, schematic, and wiring diagrams
  • Keep an eye on team deliverables for quality and timing
  • Run design reviews for code and technical compliance
  • Head out to the field to verify existing facilities
  • Support customers directly and help integrate designs
  • Keep company design standards current

What you need to bring

  • At least 10 years of overall experience, with 5 or more years designing electrical systems for substations or microgrids
  • A solid grasp of electrical circuits and power flow
  • Experience with AutoCAD or MicroStation, Bluebeam, and MS Office
  • Ability to layout equipment and route conduit, cable tray, duct banks, and grounding grids
  • U.S. citizenship
  • A valid driver's license that meets the company's fleet policy
  • Ability to qualify for Military Base Security Access Clearance
  • Real leadership experience, since you'll be running a team

Nice to have

  • Associate degree in drafting, engineering technology, or something related
  • Time spent as a Team Lead or Design Supervisor
  • Familiarity with Bentley Substation, AutoDesk Inventor, SDS, Arc GIS, PLS CADD, or Pole Foreman

Good to know

  • Some travel to project sites should be expected
  • This is a hybrid role based out of Denver, CO
  • You'll need to pass pre employment substance abuse testing
  • The team culture leans collaborative, with lunches and team events built in

What you'll get

  • $120,000 to $143,000 a year
  • Eligibility for the Short Term Incentive Plan
  • Medical, dental, and life insurance
  • 401(k) with a company contribution
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • A hybrid schedule
