Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and oversee the design of complex medium-voltage distribution lines, service extensions, system upgrades, and reliability improvements

  • Develop, review, and approve detailed construction drawings, work orders, cost estimates, and supporting documentation
  • Analyze and interpret field data, system records, maps, drawings, and aerial imagery to determine optimal, cost-effective design solutions
  • Serve as a primary technical point of contact for clients, property owners, and customers on assigned projects
  • Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and quality control oversight for Designer/Staker I, II, and III team members
  • Support project planning efforts, including scope development, scheduling, and coordination with internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Ensure all designs meet or exceed applicable safety codes, utility standards, and regulatory requirements
Required Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent and an associate or technical degree; extensive relevant experience may be substituted for degree
  • Minimum of eight years of progressive experience in electric distribution design and staking
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects and work independently in both field and office environments
  • Strong technical writing, communication, and organizational skills, with the ability to interface effectively with clients
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and clients, meet deadlines, and maintain strong client relationships
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
  • Must live within commuting distance of Brighton, CO or be willing to relocate
Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in drafting, engineering technology, or a related field
