Save
A Substation Designer, also called an Electrical Substation Designer or Power Substation Designer, is responsible for the design of substations, which are electrical installations that transform voltage levels and distribute power. The Substation Designer works alongside Electrical Engineers and must have a deep understanding of electrical engineering principles and substation equipment.
Education Requirements
Most Substation Designers hold a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Some may also have a master's degree in electrical engineering or power systems engineering. Many states require Substation Designers to be licensed as professional engineers. To obtain a professional engineer license, one must have a bachelor's degree in engineering, four years of work experience, and pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and the Professional Engineer (PE) exam.
