You will be involved in the full design lifecycle-from initial field assessments through construction support-while collaborating closely with utility clients, internal design teams, and field personnel. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys hands-on design work, problem-solving, and seeing projects come to life in the field.
Responsibilities
  • Perform engineering and design for overhead and underground utility distribution systems (34kV and below)
  • Develop distribution line designs using client-specific standards, processes, and network design software
  • Manage and prioritize multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment
  • Collaborate with internal teams and interface directly with utility clients to ensure project alignment and success
  • Prepare complete construction packages for overhead and underground distribution projects
  • Utilize GIS data and mapping tools to support design development and accuracy
  • Conduct field walkdowns to validate existing conditions and inform design decisions
  • Respond to field questions during construction and provide technical support as needed
  • Coordinate with equipment suppliers, surveyors, and construction personnel throughout the project lifecycle
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members

Typical Project Assignments
  • Overhead and underground distribution design for new and rebuild line projects
  • Pole replacements and system upgrades
  • Grid automation and system modernization efforts
  • New customer service interconnections
  • Underground cable replacements and cable vault design
  • Joint-use coordination and design
  • Preparation of design calculations and material selection in accordance with client standards
  • GIS mapping and system documentation

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering
  • 3-7 years of experience in utility distribution engineering or related field
  • Familiarity with overhead and underground distribution design practices
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and with clients
  • Experience with GIS tools and design software is preferred
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future

What The Role Offers
  • Exposure to a diverse mix of utility distribution projects
  • Hands-on experience across design, fieldwork, and construction support
  • A collaborative environment with opportunities to learn from experienced engineers and grow your career
  • The ability to contribute to critical infrastructure that powers communities

$60,000 - $120,000 a year
