Note:

This position is posted at multiple grade levels and offers a range of opportunities for advancement. The minimum qualifications outlined below apply to the Construction Lead Senior level, with increased educational, skill, experience and certification requirements for higher level Construction Lead Principal.

Essential Job Functions & Tasks Constructability Focuses on integrating construction methodology into early project development through the creation and standardization of Constructability Scoping Reports. Requires the ability to evaluate projects at a conceptual level and define optimal construction approaches prior to detailed design. Involves leading cross-functional scoping efforts to align construction sequencing, access, and execution strategy early in the project lifecycle.

Includes use of GIS, drawings, and other tools to help provide a construction sequence, identify access constraints, and evaluate outage coordination, material flow, and logistical risks. Emphasizes incorporation of site conditions, constructability challenges, and execution constraints into standardized scoping deliverables. Requires experience supporting continuous improvement efforts, including lessons learned integration, contractor feedback incorporation, and refinement of constructability practices to improve planning consistency, efficiency, and execution readiness.

Transmission Lines, Substations, and Distribution Requires expertise in high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical infrastructure construction, including transmission line systems, distribution networks, and substation equipment such as transformers, breakers, and bus systems. Includes interpretation of discipline-specific technical documentation such as transmission plan and profile drawings, structure loading trees, sag and tension charts, substation one-line diagrams, protection and control schematics, and distribution staking sheets and feeder layouts.

Involves construction methods unique to these systems, including conductor stringing, sagging and tension operations, structure erection, substation equipment installation, and distribution activities such as pole setting, framing, and overhead and underground conductor installation. Requires coordination of work in energized or near-energized environments with consideration for construction, outage sequencing, planning, switching requirements, and system reliability impacts.
