I'm having a similar experience happening to me as of late, I went in with a company who I entrusted on teaching me the value of field work in the engineering world right after I graduated college. I think the most important aspect of that work is having to experience the difficulties of seeing all that design work come into play in the real world. I valued the time at the company, learning what it was like being part of a commissioning team and testing in the substations. That being said, I felt like I was underutilized and ultimately felt like I was not being productive at that job, I was let go of that company due to some dispute that I was having and now I feel like I want to come back in the substation world but as a design engineer. This really resonated with me a lot with what you had said and the type of work that I might see as an entry level substation engineer. Funny thing is, I was being kept told by co-workers every time I was in a different substation that why don't I go into design, I felt like that was my calling in short. 😅
Hi Dan. This was very helpful. Just started applying for jobs and this video has taken a lot of that pressure off. Would love to connect with you for some more questions about being an entry level engineer.
Thank you for this video . I’m interested in substations design jobs, which software I need to know to get myself ready. Some of the softwares that they use you have to know them in the jobs and most of the time they need people with experience in those softwares. What would be your advice on that ? Please
How is like to work fully remote as an entry level electrical engineer at your new company? I'm in the same boat looking for a remote/hybrid position. Like do you get trained/mentored almost the same way as in person and what do you do if you need guidance?

If you're looking to be a substation design engineer I would suggest you polish or learn how to use AUTOCAD because that's the software you use mostly
