Transmission System Architecture: Lead the design and evaluation of complex overhead transmission and distribution power lines, ensuring all systems are engineered for maximum economic efficiency and structural resilience.
Advanced PLS-CADD™ Modeling: Direct the development of high-fidelity models from the ground up, utilizing PLS-CADD™ to perform rigorous structural and electrical clearances analysis for both new builds and major system brownfield revisions.
Technical Stewardship: Review and stamp engineering plans, specifications, and equipment selections for major utility projects, ensuring every deliverable meets the highest industry and safety standards.
Standards Development: Drive the continuous evolution of both firm and client engineering standards, providing the technical guidelines that will govern future regional project planning and design.
Multidisciplinary Coordination: Interface seamlessly with internal stakeholders, field personnel, and client leadership to ensure technical solutions align with broader project management goals and budgetary constraints.
Project Documentation: Produce authoritative technical reports, calculations, and correspondence that serve as the definitive record for complex utility infrastructure deployments.
Mentorship & Quality Control: Provide limited-supervision oversight to junior staff, ensuring the technical accuracy of sketches, documentation, and routine engineering tasks.
Required Qualifications
Education: B.S. degree in Civil or Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.
Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license is required.
Experience: 5+ years of progressive experience specifically in Transmission Line Engineering or Utility Power Systems.
