Description
transmission design
cost analysis
duct bank
cable selection
ampacity calc
vendor coordination
This role enables you to apply and expand your expertise in underground transmission line engineering, covering routing, duct‑bank configurations, manhole placement, and core electrical principles. You will design complex underground transmission lines for voltages up to 500 kV, conduct cost analyses, develop design criteria, and determine optimal siting and routing in challenging environments.
Physical design responsibilities include creating duct‑bank layouts, trenchless solutions, cable‑pulling calculations, and comprehensive drawing packages. You will also perform cable selection studies, define bonding schemes, calculate ampacity, develop riser configurations, and write specifications for procurement, installation, and construction.
