Engineer 3 - Transmission Line

About the Role

Provide transmission line design, engineering, technical support, and oversight to a transmission engineering and design team, delivering safe, cost-effective, and quality services. The role includes technical competency on complex engineering problems, renewable energy interconnections, and grid modernization. The incumbent leads discipline work, performs charge engineering duties, and manages project schedules and budgets, also supporting proposal development and cost estimating. The role provides technical expertise for transmission projects, plans and monitors activities, prepares thorough documentation, and communicates effectively with clients and internal teams. • Provide engineering and technical guidance for problem identification, analysis, and resolution. • Plan, organize, estimate, schedule, and monitor work activities. • Prepare thorough, timely, and accurate technical reports, correspondence, calculations, and sketches. • Continuously improve engineering knowledge, technical skills, and professional performance. • Create and interpret transmission line drawing packages. • Represent the company positively and support its goals. • Interact daily with customers’ internal engineers and technical personnel. • Develop and maintain professional relationships with customers. • Monitor deliverables and schedules, presenting solutions to clients. • Oversee junior staff and mentor designers/drafters. • Collaborate with design disciplines, contractors, consultants, suppliers, and clients. • Conduct site visits, advise on engineering issues, and modify designs during construction. • Manage project tasks, coordinate staff, and ensure efficient project execution. • Assist the Project Manager with proposals, contracts, and cost estimating. • Support permitting activities and design documentation. • Perform total installed cost estimating and develop specifications and contract documents. • Execute detailed transmission line design, including layouts, foundations, grounding, lightning protection, and material selection. • Ensure complete design packages (drawings, BOM, conduit lists, specifications) are delivered on time, within budget, and with high quality. • Apply NESC, ASCE, ACI, and IEEE standards in design work.

What You Bring

A bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET‑accredited program is required, along with 5–7 years of experience as an electrical engineer in power delivery. Preference is given to candidates holding a Professional Engineering (PE) license. On‑the‑job training is provided as needed. The role demands the ability to read and interpret technical documents, write simple correspondence, and respond to inquiries. Mathematical skills include applying fractions, percentages, ratios, and spreadsheet interpretation. Reasoning ability to interpret technical instructions and solve practical problems with limited standardization is essential. Additional abilities include understanding basic engineering theories, working independently, and effective communication with diverse stakeholders. Desired qualifications include a B.S. in civil/structural or electrical engineering, PE registration, and 5+ years of transmission line design experience for voltages of 69 kV and higher. Competency in all aspects of transmission line utility design, detailed bill of materials, and knowledge of NESC, ASCE, ACI, and IEEE standards is required. Experience with PLSCADD line design, PLSPOLE structure design, MFAD foundation design, cost estimating, and contract documents is valued. The job involves predominantly sitting (≈2/3) with occasional standing, walking, and frequent hand use. Lifting requirements are modest (up to 25 lb occasionally). The work environment includes moderate office noise, occasional exposure to outdoor weather, and occasional risk of electrical shock. Peripheral vision is required. • Deliver effective oral and written communication.
