Senior Engineer - Transmission
The Senior Engineer will be a part of the electric transmission design team and will be responsible for the engineering and design of multiple projects ranging from small “quick turn-around” to large complex transmission lines. This position provides the opportunity to directly apply your knowledge of transmission lines to engineer and design transmission projects ranging from 34.5kV to 765kV.
As a Senior Engineer you will apply NESC, NEC, ASCE and other applicable standards in engineering design and will independently perform engineering analyses, plans and specifications, as well as material procurement and construction documents, and work with project planning, environmental, permitting, and construction management.
We are seeking a Senior Engineer to join our electric transmission design team to drive the engineering and technical execution of projects from 34.5kV to 500kV. This role offers the opportunity to own varied projects from inception to completion, ensuring strict compliance with NESC, NEC, and ASCE standards. You will independently oversee engineering analyses, material procurement, and construction documentation while partnering closely with environmental, permitting, and project planning teams.
As a vital technical leader, you will act as the ultimate subject matter expert and the primary day-to-day contact for our clients.
