Electrical Consultants, Inc. (ECI) is a leading power engineering consulting firm that provides engineering, system planning and studies, technical consultation, project management, surveying, environmental planning, commissioning/testing, and construction services to electric utilities, energy developers, and industrials throughout the U.S. Our experience includes system voltages from 4.16 kV through 765 kV. ECI is opening an office in Nebraska in one of the cities listed above and has an opening for a transmission project manager.

This is a great opportunity to help start and grow a new office location.

Responsibilities include the conceptual, preliminary, and final detailed design of new and upgraded transmission lines, including material procurement and construction support through line energization. Additional responsibilities include the scoping, budgeting, scheduling, planning, executing, monitoring, and reporting of transmission line projects and proposals. A Project Manager oversees a project team (or teams) of engineers, designers, drafters, and support staff. Project Managers diligently execute ECI's quality control procedure, ensuring best-in-class project execution and delivery.

Project Managers interact with and coordinate ECI's subject matter expert discipline groups such as Substation Engineering, Distribution Studies, Transmission Studies, Grounding Studies, Civil Engineering, Environmental Planning, Surveying, Lands/Right-of-Way, and Project Management/Controls to ensure successful execution of assigned projects. Project Managers are ECI's primary interface with clients and other project stakeholders. Project Managers provide technical mentorship and training of project team design staff.

Bachelor of Science or Master's degree in Civil Engineering, 10+ years' project engineering experience, or an acceptable combination of education and experience; 2+ years of demonstrated project management and leadership experience; excellent verbal and written communication skills; strong organization and planning skills; commitment to quality and accuracy; and a willingness and ability to meet fast‑paced project schedules. A PE license and PMP certification are preferred.

The successful applicant must have advanced knowledge of transmission engineering principles, be expert regarding applicable codes, standards, and design tools, and have the ability to direct and oversee multiple technical disciplines in the completion of transmission line projects. The ability to resolve conflicting priorities and schedules is expected. The successful applicant may be subject to client‑mandated drug and background checking.

Occasional travel/driving is required; therefore, the successful applicant will be subject to ECI's auto insurance carrier requirements. Applicants must not require sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H‑1B visa status) now or in the future.
