WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE OUR SUBSTATION STRUCTURAL ENGINEER
This is a full-time hybrid design role based in Houston, TX, combining remote flexibility with in-office collaboration and project coordination.
Your day starts by tackling structural designs for high-voltage substations while analyzing steel systems, running calculations, and refining layouts for complex structures such as dead-end supports and gantries. As the day progresses, you shift into collaboration mode, aligning with detailers, engineers, and fabrication teams to ensure designs are both structurally sound and production-ready. You'll review shop drawings, troubleshoot issues on the fly, and contribute to value engineering initiatives that improve efficiency and reduce costs. Between project meetings and QA/QC reviews, you'll also mentor junior designers and contribute insights to proposals-making you a key player not just in design, but in the overall success of every project you touch.
