Substation Design Lead at Verdantas

Substation Design Lead (which is a heavy-duty electrical engineering role for power grids). But the entire “What You’ll Do” section describes managing graphic designers, UX/UI layouts, and brand messaging. Unless they want you to design a user interface for a physical power transformer, ignore the creative director stuff.

Looking at the actual technical requirements listed under “What You’ll Bring,” this is 100% a senior electrical infrastructure role. You will be heading up physical and electrical substation engineering projects to support the green energy transition.

Compensation

• Role Type: 100% Remote
• Starting Salary: From $105,000

What You’ll Actually Be Doing 

Given the core requirements, your day-to-day as a Substation Design Lead will involve:

• Acting as the primary technical lead on power substation engineering projects, operating with almost entirely minimal oversight.
• Heading up Protection and Control (P&C) engineering designs, ensuring the logic, relays, and wiring diagrams for the grid are completely safe and bulletproof.
• Making critical engineering decisions regarding NESC (National Electrical Safety Code) and NEC (National Electrical Code) standards,specifically calculating complex clearances and factoring in conduit fill ratios.
• Interfacing directly with major public and private utility stakeholders, designing projects that fit perfectly within their unique corporate standards and grid protocols.

Core Skills You Must Bring

To cut through the confusing job description, here is the exact technical profile they are hunting for:

• The Track Record: You need 10+ years of rock-solid experience specifically inside Substation P&C Design. This is a senior, heavy-hitting engineering role.
• The Code Book: Complete mastery of NESC and NEC safety and infrastructure clearances.
• The Utility Blueprint: Previous experience working inside or directly with utility processes and corporate design standards.
• The Tools (Bonus): If you know your way around AutoCAD, MicroStation, or high-end 3D physical modeling software, you’ll immediately jump to the front of the line.

Quick Application Advice

When you apply or submit your resume to Verdantas, do not mention Adobe Creative Suite, branding, or UI design. Focus entirely on your high-voltage electrical engineering, P&C schema design, and utility experience.
