Substations & Transmission

Every campus needs high-voltage infrastructure built right the first time. We recruit the engineers and builders behind it.

// Overview

What substations & transmission teams do

Core skills we screen for
  • HV substation physical and electrical design
  • Protection and controls schemes and relay settings
  • Transmission line design
  • Equipment specification and procurement
  • Construction and energization management

Substation and transmission engineers design, protect and build the high-voltage systems that connect a campus to the grid. They work to utility standards that differ by region and must coordinate closely with utility engineering teams.

Protection and controls specialists are among the scarcest engineers in the industry, and long equipment lead times make experienced project leaders essential.

// Roles we place
  1. 01Substation Design Engineer
  2. 02Protection & Controls Engineer
  3. 03HV Construction Manager
  4. 04Transmission Line Engineer
// What makes it hard
Transformer and breaker supply
Few protection specialists
Utility standards that differ region to region

Our networks in substations & transmission help clients reach people who aren’t actively looking — usually the ones who matter most.

// Common questions

Substations & Transmission hiring, answered.

How long does a substations & transmission search take?+

Most substations & transmission searches produce a shortlist within three to five weeks and close within two to three months. Senior and highly specialized roles can take longer, which is why we recommend starting before the project needs the hire.

Where do you find substations & transmission candidates?+

We recruit from utility substation engineering, engineering consultancies, relay and equipment manufacturers, testing and commissioning firms, as well as from data center companies. Many of the strongest candidates are not actively looking.

Do you fill confidential roles?+

Yes. Many searches are confidential. We describe the opportunity without naming the client until a candidate is qualified and interested.

Can you help us define the role?+

Yes. We often help clients scope substations & transmission roles, set reporting lines and benchmark compensation before the search begins.
