Transmission Line Engineer (mid-level)We're hiring a Transmission Line Engineer (mid-level) to take a technical lead on both overhead and underground line design in a consulting/owner's-engineer environment with utility clients.What you'll doOwn TL engineering deliverables from feasibility through IFC for overhead and underground: route selection, design criteria, calculations, structure/cable selections, and complete construction packages.Model & analyze overhead lines in PLS-CADD/PLS-POLE/TOWER for clearances, sag/tension, loading, galloping/ice/wind, ratings, and foundation reactions; generate staking sheets, plan/profile, and structure details.Engineer underground transmission: route & duct bank layouts, manhole/vault spacing, cable ampacity/thermal rating (e.g., IEC-based methods), sheath bonding/grounding, pulling/tension calculations, HDD/trench details, thermal backfill specs, and splicing plans.Apply standards (e.g., NESC, ASCE methods for OHTL; IEC-based ampacity/thermal methods and common utility standards for UGTL) and prepare sealed criteria, specs, and calc packages.Coordinate interfaces with substations (line terminals, dead-ends, GIS/air‑insulated connections), civil/structural/geotech (e.g., L‑PILE/foundations, vault pads), environmental/permitting, and real estate/ROW.Support construction with RFIs, vendor/shop drawing reviews, outage/work packages, energization support, site walks, and as‑builts (OH and UG).What you bring6–10 years of transmission line engineering in a consulting or owner's‑engineer setting, covering both overhead and underground (utility client experience is a strong plus).Bachelor's in Electrical or Civil/Structural Engineering (or related). PE preferred; EIT required if not licensed.Proficiency with PLS-CADD/POLE/TOWER for OHTL; familiarity with UGTL analysis and typical tools/workflows for ampacity/thermal rating, cable pulling, and duct‑bank design (e.g., CYMCAP or equivalent a plus).Demonstrated application of NESC and ASCE methods for OHTL; working knowledge of UG cable systems (XLPE/HV cables, bonding/grounding, joints/terminations, vault/manhole design, HDD/trench details).Strong writing and client‑facing communication; ability to lead technical meetings, defend design decisions, and drive multi‑disciplinary coordination.Nice to haveUnderground transmission specialties (thermal backfill characterization, sheath loss mitigation, link box layouts).Experience with line‑terminal design inside substations, bus work, and equipment connections.Familiarity with environmental/permitting/ROW constraints and constructability reviews for both OH and UG.Pay Range - $100,000 - $145,000 base + Bonus.Work/LifeGenerous Paid Time OffFlexible work schedules available for some positionsTenure Awards – Travel Vouchers to see the world based on your travel preferencesCompensationCompetitive Compensation packagesAnnual bonuses, spot bonuses and peer recognition awards401K match – 1:1 up to 4% of compensationTuition AssistanceStudent Loan RepaymentPaid Licensing / Certification Fees and RenewalsFinancial Rewards for Obtaining LicensureEmployee ReferralsAnnual Wellness Reimbursement (Gym memberships, fitness tracker, home gym equipment, etc.)Dependent Care MatchMedical (BC/BS), Dental (Delta), and Vision (VSP)Family Planning & IVF BenefitsPet InsuranceHealth Savings Account & Flex Spending Account optionsEmployer paid LTD, STD, and life insuranceMetlife Supplemental Benefits covering accident, hospitalization, and critical illnessMember Assistance Program with complimentary counseling sessions, legal benefits, financial consultations, and work/life referral services#J-18808-Ljbffr
