Design & Analysis - Model and analyze transmission structures using PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, and PLS-TOWER, applying NESC, ASCE, ACI, IEEE, and related standards
Project Development - Support projects from conceptual routing and engineering analysis through material procurement and construction-ready packages, through as-builts and project close-out
Cross-Discipline Collaboration - Work alongside designers and engineers from other disciplines, plus project management teams, to keep designs moving toward the field
Client Interface - Participate in client-facing project work, building the communication skills that set senior engineers apart
Technical Growth - Work under the direct guidance of a licensed PE, with increasing ownership of design decisions as your judgment develops

Key Responsibilities:

Perform structure spotting and transmission line design in PLS-CADD to verify conductor clearances and loading under NESC or GO95
Design and analyze steel, wood, concrete, or fiberglass transmission structures using PLS-POLE, including structure selection and loading verification
Under build/joint-use or attachment analysis, when required
Perform foundation design or analysis for direct-embed and drilled-pier structures in MFAD or LPILE
Prepare construction packages, including creating the basis of design, plan and profiles, staking sheets, bill of materials, structure data sheets, alignment maps, stringing charts, steel packages, foundation drawings, etc.
Coordinate with the Construction prime on material procurement, material specs, and constructability
Perform conductor selection and EMF studies
Attend field walks and constructability reviews as needed
Support proposal/estimating efforts

What You Bring (Required Qualifications):

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil, Structural, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering
4+ years of relevant experience in electric utility transmission line design with Bachelor's degree OR 3 years of relevant combined experience with a Master's degree

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with TOWER
EIT certification (or actively pursuing)
Exposure to FAD, Mathcad, AutoCAD or Micro Station, LPILE, or GIS tools
Familiarity with Bentley Project Wise

Why This Team:

Mentorship that matters - direct PE supervision means real technical guidance, not just sign-offs
Room to grow - clear path toward independent design ownership, EIT/PE milestones, and eventually leading your own scopes
Genuine cross-training - early exposure to structural and construction considerations most engineers don't see until much later
Work that ships - your designs become physical infrastructure, not shelved deliverables
