• Prepare engineering calculations including structure loading, conductor selection, line ratings, sag and tension, clearance analysis, and foundation loading.
• Develop transmission line plans, profiles, staking sheets, and construction packages.
• Perform routing studies and evaluate design alternatives based on engineering, environmental, permitting, and constructability considerations.
• Coordinate with structural, civil, geotechnical, survey, environmental, and permitting teams throughout project execution.
• Review vendor drawings, engineering calculations, technical specifications, and construction documents.
• Prepare engineering reports, technical memorandums, design summaries, and project documentation.
• Support the preparation of construction cost estimates, material takeoffs, and project schedules.
• Participate in internal design reviews and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) processes.
• Support field activities including site visits, construction support, and engineering evaluations during installation.
• Assist with resolving technical issues during design and construction.
• Communicate effectively with clients, utilities, contractors, and internal project teams.
• Support proposal development by providing engineering input, technical recommendations, and labor estimates.
• Mentor Engineer I personnel, designers, and drafters by providing technical guidance and project support.

• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification required or ability to obtain shortly after hire.
• Progress toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure preferred.
• Experience with transmission voltage levels ranging from 69kV through 765kV.
• Working knowledge of NESC, ASCE Manual 74, ASCE 10, IEEE standards, and applicable utility design practices.
• Experience with transmission line design software such as PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, PLS-TOWER, TOWER, or similar programs preferred.
• Experience with AutoCAD, Micro Station, or other CAD software is preferred.
• Skills:
  • Strong understanding of transmission line engineering principles and utility design standards.
  • Ability to perform engineering calculations with minimal supervision.
  • Knowledge of overhead transmission structures,…
