Substation Protection & Controls Engineer III

Role Summary

As an Electrical Engineer III – Substation Protection & Controls (P&C) on Revamp’s High Voltage Engineering team, you’ll drive P&C design for high-voltage substations that enable renewable energy interconnections. You’ll own the development and refining of single-line and three-line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, wiring diagrams, and related documentation while translating utility interconnection requirements and client inputs into clear, buildable deliverables. This is a hands-on, production-focused role that calls for strong engineering judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the confidence to move designs forward independently while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary partners in an employee-owned culture accelerating the clean-energy transition.

Please note, the salary advertised above is in USD. The CAD salary range for this role is approximately C$154,000 - C$192,000.
