In this role, we are seeking a Senior Transmission Line Engineer to lead the design, analysis, and execution of high-voltage transmission line projects ranging from 69kV to 500kV. This position plays a key technical role in delivering safe, cost-effective, and reliable transmission line designs while mentoring junior staff and collaborating with multidisciplinary project teams.

You will serve as a technical expert in PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, and transmission line structural and civil design, ensuring compliance with all applicable standards and client requirements throughout the project lifecycle—from conceptual development through construction support.

Your Responsibilities will Include:

• Lead and perform design and analysis of overhead transmission lines, including structure selection, routing, line modeling, and foundation engineering.
• Develop and review:
  • PLS-CADD models and structure spotting
  • Plan & profile drawings
  • Structure loading calculations (PLS-POLE, PLS-TOWER, MFAD, FAD Tools)
  • Conductor sag/tension analysis
  • Foundation designs (drilled shaft, direct embed, micropile, grillage)
  • Lightning protection and grounding systems
  • Detailed bill of materials and construction packages
• Apply and ensure compliance with industry standards (NESC, ASCE, ACI, IEEE, GO95, RUS, etc.).
• Interpret survey data, environmental constraints, and utility standards into constructible designs.
• Project & Client Support
• Work directly with clients, utilities, permitting agencies, and contractors throughout the lifecycle of a project.
• Provide technical support during bidding, procurement, and construction phases.
• Conduct site visits, walkdowns, and construction inspections; provide engineering solutions to resolve field issues.
• Support the development of cost estimates, schedules, and design packages for EPC and traditional design-bid-build projects.
• Assist with Owner’s Engineer services including vendor review, design QA/QC, and field verification.

Leadership & Mentoring

• Serve as engineering lead or discipline lead on complex transmission projects.
• Provide mentoring and technical direction to junior engineers, designers, and drafters.
• Perform and review engineering calculations, design packages, and construction documents for quality assurance.
• Support proposal writing and scope development for transmission line opportunities.
• Required Qualifications

Education & Years of Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, or Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in at least one U.S. state (or ability to obtain via reciprocity).

To Thrive in This Role, You Will need:

• 8+ years of experience in high-voltage transmission line engineering (69kV–500kV).
• Proficiency in:
  •  PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, and/or PLS-TOWER
  • Foundation analysis tools such as MFAD, LPILE, or FAD Tools
  • Microsoft Office Suite and technical calculation tools (e.g., Mathcad)
• Working knowledge of NESC, ASCE, ACI, IEEE, and applicable utility standards.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in transmission engineering.
• Prior experience on EPC, design-build, or Owner’s Engineer projects.
• Familiarity with:
  • AutoCAD, MicroStation, ArcGIS
  • Sag10, CDEGS, or other power system modeling tools
  • Cost estimating and construction specifications development
• Experience interfacing with field crews, resolving construction challenges, and supporting emergency response (storm restoration, wildfire mitigation, etc.).
• Ability to lead multi-disciplinary design teams and coordinate with protection, civil, and substation groups.

Environmental Factors and/or Physical Requirements:

While performing the duties of this job, this position is required to have ordinary ambulatory skills sufficient to visit other locations; and the ability to stand, walk, stoop, kneel, crouch, and manipulate (lift, carry, move) light to medium weights of 10-50 pounds.
