Collaboration with other engineers and support for project documentation and continuous improvement initiatives are also key aspects of this role.

**Key Responsibilities**:
Substation Design and Layout:

- Develop comprehensive designs and layouts for HV substations, considering factors like available space, safety requirements, and environmental considerations.
- Optimize the layout to maximize efficiency and accessibility for maintenance and operation.

Component Selection:

- Select appropriate HV substation components, including transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, and associated equipment, but also conductors, clamp, insulators and other necessary material for the overall integration, based on project requirements and specifications.
- Ensure that component selection aligns with safety and performance standards.

Compliance and Regulation:

- Ensure strict compliance with industry standards, codes, and regulations related to HV substations, such as IEEE, IEC, and local grid codes.
- Stay updated on evolving standards and incorporate necessary changes into designs.

Collaboration and Integration:

- Collaborate closely with other engineering disciplines, such as Protection, Control & Automation Engineers, Civil/Structural Engineers, and Electrical Systems Engineers, to achieve seamless integration of substation components.
- Coordinate with project managers, sourcing & procurement to ensure alignment with project timelines and budgets.

Risk Assessment and Mitigation:

- Identify potential risks associated with substation designs and propose mitigation strategies.
- Conduct risk assessments to ensure the safety and reliability of the substation.

Documentation and Reporting:

- Create detailed design documentation, including drawings, specifications, and technical reports.
- Provide regular progress reports to project stakeholders and management.
