Workplace Type: Hybrid
About the Role:
As a Construction Management Lead, you will serve as a construction subject matter expert for our utility clients and internal design teams, bringing real-world field experience to power delivery line projects. You will be the go-to resource on how projects actually get built: performing constructability reviews, resolving access and permitting challenges, and advising clients and engineers on construction methods, especially on smaller and fast-moving jobs. This role also offers a development path into transmission line design to grow your technical skill set.
What You Will Be Doing:
Serve as a construction management SME and primary point of contact for utility clients and internal engineering team members seeking guidance on construction methods, sequencing, and field issues
Perform constructability reviews of transmission line design packages, identifying field concerns and recommending practical, cost-effective solutions before projects go to construction
Review engineering drawings, plan and profile sheets, structure framing, and specifications for constructability, safety, and clarity
Troubleshoot construction-phase issues, including right-of-way access, ground conditions, outage constraints, and equipment limitations
Support access and permitting efforts by advising on access road needs, work pad requirements, crossings, and environmentally sensitive areas
Provide input on construction methods, including conductor stringing and sagging, structure replacement, helicopter-assisted work, and rebuild/outage sequencing
Assist with construction cost estimates, schedules, and proposal support
Conduct site visits and field reviews as needed to verify conditions and support project delivery
Collaborate with designers, engineers, surveyors, and project managers to bridge the gap between design and construction
Develop transmission line design skills through mentorship and on-the-job training, with the opportunity to take on design responsibilities over time
What You Bring:
High school diploma or equivalent (required)
10+ years of overhead transmission and/or distribution construction experience, including field leadership as a Foreman, General Foreman, or Construction Manager
Strong working knowledge of transmission construction methods, including conductor stringing, sagging, clipping, structure erection, and line rebuilds (69 kV-500 kV preferred)
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, plan and profile sheets, and construction specifications
Experience with utility client standards and work authorization requirements
Familiarity with construction scheduling, budgeting, and cost estimating
Strong safety mindset and knowledge of OSHA and utility safety requirements
Interest in learning transmission line design; exposure to PLS-CADD or similar design tools
Effective communication skills (verbal and written) with clients, engineers, and field personnel
Willingness to travel to project sites as needed
Ability to pass a drug screen, background check, and have a satisfactory driving record in accordance with the company's driving (MVR) policy
So...Why Join Us?
You will have the opportunity to learn, grow and directly contribute to our business. You will also have a very visible and tangible impact by solving real world problems.
You will contribute significantly to the growth and development of our company while also continuing to be challenged and inspired along the way!
