Turnkey AC substation engineering and construction for renewable and grid infrastructure
Linxon designs and builds electrical substations for renewable energy, power transmission, and grid modernization—a capital-intensive, project-driven business where cost control and on-time delivery are existential. The stack is engineering-heavy (AutoCAD, Revit, BIM, ETAP, PSS/E, SCADA) and tilted toward design and simulation; the hiring surge is almost entirely engineering (35 of 47 open roles) across senior and lead levels, signaling aggressive project expansion. Pain points cluster around cost overruns and defect reduction—typical for large EPC work where margin erosion happens at the site.
Linxon is a joint venture between AtkinsRéalis and Hitachi Energy, founded in 2018 and based in Baden, Switzerland. The company delivers turnkey AC substation projects across three segments: renewable energy generation (solar, wind, battery storage), conventional power transmission, and transportation electrification. Services span project design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and after-sales support. Active projects range from 11 kV to 765 kV installations, including both air-insulated and gas-insulated substations (AIS/GIS). The company operates across six countries (UK, US, Switzerland, Canada, Sweden, India) and employs 501–1,000 people.
Linxon uses AutoCAD, Revit, and BIM for design; ETAP, PSS/E, and PSCAD for electrical simulation; GIS for spatial analysis; and Procore for project management. MicroStation and Navisworks support additional engineering workflows.
Yes. Linxon has 47 active roles, with 35 in engineering across senior, lead, and mid levels. Positions are open in the United Kingdom, United States, Switzerland, Canada, Sweden, and India.
