Tasks

Eng IV. Provide engineering and technical expertise and supervision to Transmission Substation engineering and design teams for the purpose of delivering safe, cost-effective, and quality engineering and design services. Provide civil-structural specific design and direction on complex engineering and technical challenges for the projects. This role includes both direct billable client work (project work) and project management support for projects. The incumbent is expected to lead discipline specific work for projects, perform responsible charge engineering duties, and manage project schedules and budgets. The incumbent will also support proposal development, project cost estimating as well as supporting business development efforts. -Create civil-structural project scopes, estimates, budgets, and schedules for substation projects -Analyze new and existing steel (or wood) structures using modeling software -Provide general project management capabilities to coordinate staff, assign tasks, and accomplish projects in an efficient manner -Perform calculations for various foundation types including drilled piers, spread footers, and transformer pads -Visit sites, advise on civil and structural engineering issues, and modify design to solve issues during construction -Manage budgets and project schedules -Collaborate, communicate, and liaise effectively with other design disciplines, colleagues, construction contractors, consultants, materials suppliers, and clients -Design and procure transformer oil containment systems -Support design needs for permitting activities -Collaborate with senior civil engineers to create best practices, quality assurance, and processes and procedures. -Oversee the work of junior staff and mentor designers/drafters -Use Hands to Feel, Handle or finger tools or controls 1/3 to 2/3 (Frequently) -No direct reports, but mentors and provides leadership to junior engineers and those engineers outside the discipline. -Assist the Project Manager in the preparation and review of proposals and contracts for the civil-structural scope
