LUZCO Technologies is expanding its proven substation engineering model into the Northeast, establishing a dedicated presence in Rochester, NY. For nearly a decade, we’ve delivered high-quality substation services across the Midwest, and now we’re bringing that same excellence to a new region.

As the Substation Engineering Lead, you’ll spearhead this expansion. Initially, you’ll be hands-on in project delivery; designing, reviewing, and coordinating substation packages across both Physical and Protection & Control scopes. As the local team grows, your role will evolve into leadership: building and mentoring engineers, ensuring quality, and cultivating strong client relationships.

This position is ideal for a technical leader with a builder’s mindset, someone who thrives on developing teams, driving regional growth, and representing LUZCO with professionalism and integrity.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Perform and review detailed substation designs, covering both Physical and Protection & Control disciplines.
• Build, onboard, and mentor a Rochester-based team of engineers and designers.
• Serve as the local technical lead and primary contact for Northeast substation clients.
• Establish and maintain trusted client relationships, ensuring open communication and continuous feedback.
• Support business development by identifying and pursuing new opportunities in the region.
• Deliver complete, accurate, and code-compliant substation design packages.
• Conduct field walkdowns and assist with 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 project delivery.

Knowledge & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• 5–7 years of utility substation design experience, including both Physical and Protection & Control scopes.
• 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 and codes (NESC, NEC, IEEE, etc.).
• 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.
