Sound like a familia you're ready to join? Here's the details on what we are looking for in this position:

This is not a new business line. It is an extension of our proven model. For nearly a decade, LUZCO has delivered high-quality substation engineering services across the Midwest. We are now expanding our operations into the Northeast by establishing a dedicated presence in Rochester, NY to better serve clients in the region and allow our St. Louis office to remain focused on its core territory.

You will lead this effort. In this role, you will initially support project delivery directly by designing, reviewing, and coordinating substation packages that include both Physical and Protection & Control scopes. As the local team grows, your focus will shift to leadership: building and mentoring engineers, ensuring quality, and developing strong relationships with regional clients.

The ideal candidate is a technical leader with a builder’s mindset, capable of growing a high-performing team and representing LUZCO in the region. You will play a key role in developing relationships with Northeast clients, pursuing new opportunities, and maintaining a trusted feedback loop to ensure we consistently meet and exceed expectations.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Perform and review detailed substation designs, including both Physical and Protection & Control scopes
• Build, onboard, and mentor a Rochester-based team of engineers and designers
• Serve as the local technical lead and primary point of contact for Northeast substation clients
• Develop and maintain trusted client relationships, ensuring open communication and ongoing feedback
• Support business development by identifying and pursuing new opportunities in the region
• Deliver complete, accurate, and code-compliant substation packages
• Conduct field walkdowns and support site-related design tasks as needed
• Review drawings and calculations for technical accuracy and consistency
• Implement internal standards, tools, and processes refined through years of successful delivery

Knowledge & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
• Minimum 5 to 7 years of utility substation design experience, including both Physical and P&C disciplines
• PE license strongly preferred
• Experience with Avangrid or other Northeast utilities is a plus
• Proven leadership experience, including mentoring and team development
• Strong understanding of utility standards, NESC, NEC, IEEE, and related codes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with internal and external teams
• Willingness to travel as needed for fieldwork and client engagement
