What You'll Be Doing:

• Design & Analysis — Model and analyze transmission structures using PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, and PLS-TOWER, applying NESC, ASCE, ACI, IEEE, and related standards
• Project Development — Support projects from conceptual routing and engineering analysis through material procurement and construction-ready packages, through as-builts and project close-out
• Cross-Discipline Collaboration — Work alongside designers and engineers from other disciplines, plus project management teams, to keep designs moving toward the field
• Client Interface — Participate in client-facing project work, building the communication skills that set senior engineers apart
• Technical Growth — Work under the direct guidance of a licensed PE, with increasing ownership of design decisions as your judgment develops

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform structure spotting and transmission line design in PLS-CADD to verify conductor clearances and loading under NESC or GO95
• Design and analyze steel, wood, concrete, or fiberglass transmission structures using PLS-POLE, including structure selection and loading verification
• Underbuild/joint-use or attachment analysis, when required
• Perform foundation design or analysis for direct-embed and drilled-pier structures in MFAD or LPILE
• Prepare construction packages, including creating the basis of design, plan and profiles, staking sheets, bill of materials, structure data sheets, alignment maps, stringing charts, steel packages, foundation drawings, etc.
• Coordinate with the Construction prime on material procurement, material specs, and constructability
• Perform conductor selection and EMF studies
• Attend field walks and constructability reviews as needed
• Support proposal/estimating efforts
