Summary of Responsibilities:
Bring your positive energy to ATC! We’re looking for a Sr. Substation Services Engineer who pairs substation knowledge with a customer service mindset.

Essential Responsibilities:
What you’ll do
- Drive standards excellence. Lead the creation and revision of substation design standards, template drawings, specifications, guides, and technical aids; gather input, build consensus, and communicate updates that elevate consistency and clarity.
- Be a supporting resource. Provide timely support for engineering, maintenance, commissioning, and construction teams; support problem solving and convert findings into actionable recommendations.
- Advance our asset performance. Evaluate vendors and factory qualifications, partner with Asset Management and Supply Chain, and support development of pilots that introduce new technologies and provide long term value.
- Champion continuous improvement. Identify process enhancements across engineering, procurement, and construction to boost quality, efficiency, and consistency.

Candidates are not expected to know all areas, but strength in several is valuable.
- Standards savvy: Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., IEEE, NESC, NERC) and utility engineering practices; adept at documentation, calculations, drafting review, and standardization.
- Professional strengths: Clear, structured communicator; collaborative team player; analytical, decisive, and field aware; follows through on commitments and keeps stakeholders informed.
