Substation Engineer Lead – Canton, OH

We're partnering with a large, well-established industrial manufacturer in Northeast Ohio to hire a Substation Engineer Lead supporting critical medium-voltage power distribution infrastructure across a major manufacturing operation.

This is a hands-on technical/project leadership role — not a people-management position. It's a strong opportunity for an experienced substation or power systems professional who wants challenging technical work without the travel often associated with this field.

What You'll Do

• Support and troubleshoot medium-voltage power distribution and substations
• Work with transformers, switchgear, breakers and protective relays
• Lead electrical infrastructure upgrades and modernization projects
• Support system reliability, preventive maintenance and root-cause troubleshooting
• Partner with engineering, maintenance, operations and outside contractors
• Lead projects through installation and commissioning

What We're Looking For

• Strong medium-voltage power distribution/substation experience
• Experience with protective relays / protection & controls — SEL, GE, Eaton or similar
• Strong power systems troubleshooting and engineering background
• Utility, power services or heavy industrial/manufacturing backgrounds are all relevant
• Experience with ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, arc-flash, short-circuit or coordination studies is a plus

Compensation & Highlights

• $115K–$160K base salary
• 10% annual bonus opportunity
• Sign-on bonus
• Retention bonus
• Up to $40K grossed-up relocation assistance
• No travel
• Full benefits and paid time off
