Full transmission line design packages from routing through final deliverables
Engineering decisions, including structure spotting, sag-tension, and foundation/clearance analysis
Collaboration with utility clients, PMs, and field teams
Design execution using PLS-CADD and industry-standard tools
What You'll Be Doing:
Design high-voltage transmission lines (69kV-500kV) for overhead and underground systems
Perform PLS-CADD modeling, including sag-tension analysis, clearance calculations, and structure spotting
Develop line routing, plan & profiles, and cable systems
Develop project cost estimates, schedules, and design options for client approvals.
Conduct engineering studies, including ampacity, cable selection, and system modeling
Prepare and review engineering drawings, material specs, and asset data (SAP / Asset Suite)
Collaborate with clients, vendors, and internal teams to deliver projects on schedule and within scope
Ensure compliance with NESC, ASCE, IEEE, and utility standards
Prepare technical reports, status updates, and maintain timely documentation.
What You Bring:
Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering (ABET-accredited preferred)
4-8 years of transmission line design experience in the electric utility or consulting industry
Hands-on experience with PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, or PLS-TOWER
Strong understanding of high-voltage transmission systems (69kV-500kV)
Proficiency with AutoCAD, MicroStation, and/or GIS
Knowledge of NESC, IEEE, ANSI, and ASCE standards
Ability to perform engineering calculations (sag, tension, clearance)
Strong communication and ability to work cross-functionally in a remote environment
Preferred Qualifications:
EIT or PE (or ability to obtain)
Experience with PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, PLS-TOWER, MFAD, L-PILE
Experience designing custom structures (Steel, FRP, Laminate, Ductile IRON, etc.)
Experience supporting major utilities across the USA
What You Won't Be Stuck Doing:
Redlining drawings all day
Working on one small piece of a project in assembly design structure
Waiting on layers of approvals to make decisions
What Success Looks Like (6 Months):
Independently executing PLS-CADD designs for transmission projects
Becoming part of a team-oriented environment; training, developing, and mentoring those around you
Owning deliverables with minimal oversight
