Pike Corporation provides infrastructure solutions across various sectors, focusing on utility services.
The role provides engineering and technical expertise to solve complex civil‑site development and permitting challenges for utility substations, transmission lines, battery storage, and renewable projects. It includes both billable client work and project‑management support. The incumbent is expected to lead discipline work, perform responsible engineering, and assist the project manager with schedules, budgets, and deliverables.
Under minimal supervision, the engineer identifies, analyzes, and resolves engineering and design problems, plans and monitors work activities, and produces thorough technical reports, calculations, and sketches. Continuous improvement of technical knowledge and professional skills is required, along with effective oral and written communication. The position also involves creating substation civil‑site drawing packages, championing company goals, and maintaining professional relationships with customers while monitoring deliverables and presenting solutions.
The work is complex, with no established procedures and requires major decision‑making. The incumbent influences moderate‑level decisions that demand tact and serves as a mentor and leader to junior engineers, though there are no direct reports.
A bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from an ABET‑accredited program and 3–5 years of engineering experience are required. A Professional Engineering (PE) license or the ability to obtain one within one year is essential, and regular attendance is expected.
The candidate must be able to read and interpret technical documents, write reports and business correspondence, and present information effectively to clients and colleagues. Strong mathematical skills, the ability to interpret technical instructions, and sound reasoning ability are required. Additional competencies include self‑motivation, teamwork, cultural adaptability, and a deep understanding of advanced civil engineering and permitting concepts.
Desired capabilities include project‑management coordination, creative problem‑solving, assistance with proposals and contracts, and the ability to multitask while managing budgets and schedules. The engineer will prepare due‑diligence studies, schematic plans, construction documents, and engineering calculations, ensure regulatory compliance, obtain necessary permits, and oversee site construction and inspections. Mentoring junior staff, collaborating across disciplines, and proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D, ESRI ArcMap, Microsoft Office, and HydroCAD are also expected.
Physical demands involve occasional standing, walking, and regular sitting, with frequent hand usage and occasional lifting of up to 25 lb. Peripheral vision is required.
The work environment includes occasional exposure to outdoor weather, extreme temperatures, and risk of electrical shock, with a moderate noise level typical of an office setting.
