Lead electrical applications engineer developing high - voltage substation and grid solutions for GE Vernova. Preparing technical proposals, cost estimates, and EPC project bids.
About the role
- Lead application engineer developing high-voltage substation designs, estimates, and proposals. Supporting GE’s integrated electrification projects through the Inquiry to Order phase.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the technical point of contact throughout the Inquiry to Order (ITO) phase
- Develop technical solutions for high-voltage substations and grid engineering/design during the pre-ITO process
- Ensure the accuracy of technical proposals, including specifications, single-line diagrams, physical layouts, protection diagrams, AC/DC load sizing, clarifications, exceptions, deliverables, bills of materials, and cost estimates
- Perform basic high-voltage substation studies to validate proposed specifications and designs
- Provide technical support for subcontractor and electrical equipment bid packages
- Support the commercial team with technical customer presentations
- Design and implement methodologies, templates, and libraries to improve cost-estimating accuracy and efficiency
- Write technical specifications for equipment and services and manage vendor quotations and responses with the project management and sourcing teams
- Collaborate with the Proposal Manager, applications engineering team, and multidisciplinary engineers on EPC estimates for utility, industrial, and renewable substations; protection and control (P&C); systems and communications; balance of plant (BOP); FACTS; and HVDC projects
- Deliver technically high-quality, compliant, effective, and cost-competitive proposals while reducing overall performance risk
- Contribute to winning bid strategies through an understanding of market conditions and customer economics
- Apply engineering judgment to solve moderately complex technical and operational problems
- Build consensus and influence stakeholders within the area of expertise
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent technical degree
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in substation/electrical design, studies, specifications, estimating, and construction for substation, transmission, or power generation projects

- Fluency in spoken and written French and English; bilingual French/English required
- Willingness to travel up to 20%, potentially internationally, and comply with company travel and tax policies
- Experience developing proposals for large and complex high-voltage substations
- Experience with turnkey high-voltage substation solutions and EPC/EPCI projects, including civil works
- Expertise in power transmission and distribution systems, electrical substations, and protection devices
- Experience estimating engineering design packages, including drawings, calculations, studies, and bills of materials
- Experience with power system studies and medium-, high-, extra-high-, and ultra-high-voltage (MV/HV/EHV/UHV) equipment
- Knowledge of project estimating methods and cost engineering principles
- Knowledge of high- and extra-high-voltage substation physical design and construction, including foundation design and site preparation
- Knowledge of substation protection and control schemes, SCADA, testing, commissioning, and maintenance
- Experience in construction, field testing, and commissioning
- Knowledge of and experience applying CSA, IEEE, ANSI, NEC, and NESC standards and codes
- Working knowledge of power system automation, SCADA, and communications applications
- P.Eng. or PE license in the United States or Canada preferred
Benefits
- Hybrid work arrangement
- Relocation assistance provided
- Up to 20% travel, including potential international travel
- Integrated project solutions supporting large-scale electrification
