Job Description:

Idaho Power — located in vibrant Boise, Idaho — is looking for a Stations Designer to join our Planning, Engineering, and Construction team. It’s an exciting time to work for Idaho Power. Our work plays a critical role in communities we serve across Idaho and Oregon, and we’re working hard to safely provide our customers with the reliable, affordable, clean energy they depend on. While this position is based at Idaho Power’s downtown Boise location, we offer both flexible schedules and the opportunity to work up to 40% remote.

What does a Stations Designer do for us?

Station designers work on project teams to develop and issue electronic substation drawing packages that prioritize safety, accuracy, system reliability, operability, and consistency. They support projects from scoping through design, contractor coordination (when applicable), material specification and ordering, construction, and record issues.

Responsibilities include incorporating apparatus, civil, structural, physical, local service, and ancillary systems into a complete design package in accordance with applicable industry standards, codes, and Idaho Power Stations Design and Construction practices. Typical project milestones include using the Yard Plan to produce, route, and review the Plan Drawings (Foundation, Grounding, Grading, Fence, Cable & Conduit, etc.), Elevations & Sections, Detail Drawings, Removals, and Bill of Materials.

In addition to the meaningful work we do, we offer work-life balance, competitive pay and benefits, an employee incentive plan, and both a 401k employer-match and a pension plan, making Idaho Power one of the best employers in the state.
