Job Description & How to Apply Below
Primary Responsibilities Engineering Support & Design
- Perform routine engineering assignments using established utility standards, codes (e.g., NESC), and company design criteria.
- Support the design and layout of electrical distribution systems, including:
- Overhead distribution (pole line design, guying, framing)
- Underground distribution (duct banks, conduit routing, cable systems)
- Perform engineering analyses and calculations, including:
- Structure loading and pole strength validation.
- Conductor sag and tension calculations (stringing charts, ruling spans).
- Voltage drop and circuit balancing evaluations for overhead and underground systems.
- Equipment sizing and selection (transformers, protective devices, switches).
- Conduit and duct bank sizing, routing, and conduit fill calculations based on cable configurations and system requirements.
- Cable ampacity and thermal loading analysis considering soil conditions, installation methods, and conduit arrangements.
- Cable pulling tension and sidewall bearing pressure calculations to support constructability and installation feasibility.
- Short‑circuit and fault current considerations for both overhead and underground equipment (e.g., pad‑mounted transformers, switch gear, reclosers).
- Grounding and bonding design, including pole grounding, concentric neutral systems, and underground fault return paths.
- Equipment layout and spacing design for overhead and underground installations, including clearances for safety, access, and maintainability.
- Trench and duct bank configuration design, including separation requirements between electric, communication, and other utilities.
- Identification and evaluation of conflicts with existing underground and overhead utilities using survey data, GIS information, and utility locates.
- Utilize standard engineering software and tools (e.g., PLS‑CADD, O‑Calc, GIS, or utility‑specific platforms).
- Assist in preparing detailed engineering deliverables, including:
- Plan and profile drawings, staking sheets, and construction details.
- Bill of materials (BOM) and material specifications.
- Cost estimates and quantity take‑offs.
- Apply QA/QC checklists to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with project and client requirements.
- Execute assigned tasks within established scope, schedule, and budget constraints.
- Work under the direction of a Project Engineer or Senior Engineer, applying feedback to refine deliverables.
- Coordinate closely with designers, drafters, and other disciplines to develop integrated design packages.
- Maintain organized project documentation, including drawings, calculations, and correspondence.
- Track progress of assigned tasks and proactively communicate status, risks, or issues to supervising engineers.
- Assist with:
- Internal design reviews and comment resolution.
- Preparation and tracking of submittals and deliverable packages.
- Adherence to client standards, templates, and quality requirements.
- Participate in field visits to collect data for design development, such as:
- Existing pole conditions, elevations, spans, and clearances.
- Underground routing constraints and utility conflicts.
- Interpret field notes, photographs, and survey data for use in design development.
- Verify constructability of designs and identify potential field conflicts or constraints.
- Support incorporation of field data into design documents and GIS systems.
- Assist with construction‑phase support activities, including:
- Responding to RFIs (Requests for Information).
- Providing design clarifications and minor revisions.
- Supporting as‑built documentation updates.
- Collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team including engineering, design, environmental, and permitting staff.
- Actively participate in team meetings, design reviews, and coordination sessions.
- Seek guidance and apply feedback to improve technical accuracy and efficiency.
- Build working knowledge of utility industry practices, standards, and workflows.
- Contribute to a positive, inclusive, and team‑oriented work environment.
- Take initiative in personal development, including pursuit of EIT certification and progression toward PE…
