The Junior Electrical Substation Design Engineer will become an integral part of a multidisciplinary engineering group that delivers end‑to‑end substation solutions for both transmission and distribution networks. Working under the mentorship of senior engineers, the role offers a blend of hands‑on drafting, analytical calculations, and cooperative 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 high‑voltage (HV) layout drawings, sections, and detailed single‑line diagrams (SLDs). The candidate will draft both primary and secondary schematics, ensuring that interlocking schemes and wiring diagrams are accurate and fully coordinated. In 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, short‑circuit calculations, and preliminary protection coordination using industry‑standard 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 non‑negotiable 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 cross‑functional 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 B.Tech or B.E. in Electrical Engineering, with 2–5 years of experience in substation design or related power‑system 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 cost‑effective power infrastructure.
