Electrical Engineer - Medium/High Voltage

A Day in the Life of an Electrical Engineer – Medium/High Voltage at Hanson. This role requires licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) or the ability to obtain licensure within six months. 

Here’s a snapshot of some of the tasks you may perform in this role: 

• Design medium- and high-voltage power distribution and management systems for renewable energy projects such as solar, wind, BESS, EV charging, and microgrids.

• Traditional transmission and distribution design, both underground and overhead. 

• Prepare specifications, calculations, drawings, and full construction packages for complex electrical systems and equipment ranging from 15kV up to 200kV, including three-line diagrams, substation layouts, grounding design, protection studies, and sag/tension analyses. 

• Conduct quality assurance and quality control reviews to ensure compliance with corporate, national, and client standards. 

• Provide technical support to field personnel for medium- and high-voltage collection systems, substations, and transmission equipment up to 200kV. 

• Perform electrical studies including short-circuit, arc flash, load flow, power factor, relay coordination, capacity analysis, reliability analysis, and ampacity calculations. 

• Troubleshoot electrical equipment issues within supported renewable energy facilities. 

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—such as civil and structural engineers—and remotely coordinate with colleagues across multiple offices. 

• Conduct due diligence, feasibility, conceptual design studies, and inverter-based resource (IBR) interconnection studies; prepare utility master plan reports. 

• Participate in project management tasks, including client meetings, system design coordination, equipment selection, technical specification development, shop drawing review, and construction administration. 

• Mentor engineering and design personnel within the Power Market team. 

• Travel occasionally for client meetings, field reviews, and project assignments, with flexibility to work extended hours when project deadlines require. 

• Perform other duties as assigned by market principals and project managers.
