Transmission Line Engineer II – High Voltage

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Create designs for overhead gen-tie, transmission, and medium-voltage lines using PLS-CADD, which includes route assessment, plan and profile creation, structure placement, sag-tension evaluations, conductor selection, and clearance confirmations.

• Model and validate wood, steel, and concrete pole structures as well as lattice towers in PLS-POLE and PLS-TOWER under applicable load conditions.

• Generate structure load sheets and specifications for custom steel poles, and review drawings from fabricators.

• Develop assemblies for insulators and hardware, framing details, and material bills.

• Design or coordinate the foundations for direct-embed and drilled piers, utilizing geotechnical reports and foundation design software.

• Construct terrain models and crossing data from LiDAR and survey data.

• Create development, permitting, and issued-for-construction drawing and specification packages.

• Assist in delivering substation steel structures, bus support, and general arrangement documentation.

• Modify design strategies for road, rail, and line crossings, constrained rights-of-way, and extended spans.

• Lead smaller transmission line initiatives or specific segments of larger projects from initiation to issued-for-construction.

• Oversee design scopes in accordance with schedule and budget, while reporting on progress and potential risks.

• Monitor RFIs, design alterations, and scope modifications; update deliverables when inputs change.

• Aid in construction by addressing contractor inquiries, assessing field changes, and preparing record drawings.

• Ensure compliance of designs with NESC, ASCE 74, ASCE 48, IEEE, utility, and jurisdictional standards.

• Adhere to QA/QC protocols, perform self-checks on models and calculations, and address review comments.

• Document design criteria, assumptions, and load cases thoroughly.

• Collaborate with teams in substation physical, protection and controls, civil, survey, geotechnical, and right-of-way disciplines.

• Participate in project meetings to present design advancements, challenges, and suggestions.

• At the Engineer III level, manage multiple projects, oversee scope/schedule/budget, resolve intricate issues, engage with clients, devise work plans, delegate tasks, mentor junior personnel, review deliverables, and act as the Engineer of Record when licensed and assigned.
