• Make EHV engineering calculation recommendations to influence risk mitigation through project execution plans.

• Communicate EHV engineering calculation capabilities to internal and external clients to support project capture and development.

• Under general direction, apply advanced engineering techniques to develop, maintain, and update EHV engineering standards.

• Provide technical leadership and direction on department design guides, standards, systems, applicable engineering codes and standards.

• Independently apply knowledge and follow Black & Veatch quality program relative to assigned tasks.

• Review and verify the accuracy of personal work and that of team members; uphold QA/QC standards and champion continuous improvement.

• Communicate client goals and priorities to project teams and develop strategies to integrate these drivers into project execution.

• Engage directly with clients, vendors, and subcontractors to ensure alignment and successful project delivery.

• Demonstrate leadership by mentoring team members and offering technical direction across disciplines.

• Demonstrate teamwork and the ability to lead project efforts, including schedule, budget, and resource management.

• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to manage and deliver complex, multidisciplinary projects.

• Support proposal development including scope of work, level of effort, engineering estimates, and schedules.

• Manage or contribute to multiple high-impact projects simultaneously.

• Develop clear, concise written communications and facilitate effective collaboration with team members and clients.

• Work in a team environment.

• Utilize knowledge in NERC reliability regions such as PJM, ERCOT, MISO.
