Staff High Voltage Electrical Engineer MiconeStaffing Sparks, NV Job Details Full-time $150,000 - $190,000 a year 13 hours ago Qualifications CAD software Bluebeam Revu Bluebeam NavisWorks High-voltage electrical systems Design engineering ETAP Simulation analysis Professional Engineer Full Job Description Staff High Voltage Electrical Engineer (EPC) — Design the Grid Behind the Energy Transition McCarran, NV | Full-Time | $150,000 - $190,000 The Opportunity How often do you get to design transmission-level infrastructure from a blank sheet? Our client — a rapidly scaling clean energy innovator building some of the largest industrial facilities in the country — needs a Staff High Voltage Electrical Engineer to lead the design of substations and high voltage systems that will power the U.S. energy transition. You'll serve as Engineer of Record on 69kV-345kV projects and own your design packages from concept through commissioning. Why This Role Stands Out Transmission-scale work: Industrial substations from 69kV to 345kV, plus grid integration for renewables and battery energy storage Real authority: Engineer of Record with independent ownership of design packages No state income tax: Nevada keeps more of that salary in your pocket Mission that matters: Your infrastructure directly enables domestic clean energy production What You'll Do Lead design of high voltage AC systems — industrial substations (69kV-345kV) and their integration with transmission lines and MV distribution Develop single-line diagrams, physical layouts, protection and control, relay design and coordination, and grounding plans Run grid simulation and stability studies (PSSE, PSLF, PSCAD, ASPEN OneLiner) plus short circuit, load flow, and arc flash studies Interface with utilities and ISO/RTOs on interconnection, permitting, and compliance for renewable and BESS projects Develop relay settings (SEL AcSELerator) and select HV equipment — switchgear, breakers, transformers, reactors, PTs/CTs, protection relays Lead code compliance reviews (NEC, IEEE, NESC, NFPA) Support construction and commissioning teams with field engineering, testing, and troubleshooting Lead R D on medium voltage DC distribution for BESS integration Manage design packages end-to-end — scope, schedule, budget, cost estimates Mentor junior engineers and build team standards and workflows What You'll Bring BS/MS in Electrical Engineering (ABET) Active PE license (Nevada or reciprocity-eligible); NV and SC PE within 2 months of start 10+ years in high voltage electrical design, EPC preferred Advanced skills in
