• Lead the engineering design of high‑voltage transmission lines (69 kV–500 kV), including routing, structure selection, and conductor specification.
• Oversee structural loading, sag & tension analysis, and line optimization using industry‑standard tools (e.g., PLS-CADD, PLS-TOWER).
• Provide expertise in gen‑tie line design connecting gas‑fired generation facilities to the grid, including switchyard interface considerations and impact analysis for potential islanding scenarios.
• Review and approve engineering calculations, drawings, and specifications to ensure compliance with codes and standards (NESC, IEEE, ASCE, utility‑specific criteria).
• Write, conform and adapt contract documents (EOR, Engineering Consultant, Early Stage Engineering, EPC, Owner‑furnished equipment specifications) as needed for each project.
• Collaborate with company purchasing to ensure purchase orders define specific requirements and contracts are finalized.
• Design and coordinate transmission interconnection solutions for gas plant generation projects.
• Collaborate with generation developers, EPC contractors, and utilities to ensure seamless integration into the grid.
• Support interconnection studies, including load flow, short‑circuit, and stability coordination with planning teams.
• Ensure compliance with ISO/RTO requirements (e.g., PJM, ERCOT, MISO, SERC) depending on location.

• Serve as technical lead across multiple projects, ensuring schedule, budget, and quality objectives are met.
• Coordinate with external engineering consultants and internal electrical, civil, structural, substation, and environmental SME teams for integrated project delivery.
• Review contractor/vendor designs and manage engineering deliverables through all project phases (conceptual, preliminary, detailed design, construction support).
• Provide construction support, including field issue resolution and design modifications.

• Ensure all designs meet federal, state, and local regulatory requirements.
• Interface with permitting agencies and support environmental reviews.
• Maintain adherence to safety standards and utility best practices.

• Act as a technical advisor to clients, including utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), and developers.
• Participate in client meetings, technical presentations, and proposal development.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to organizational knowledge development.

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, civil/structural engineering, or related field.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license (multi‑state licensure preferred or ability to obtain via comity).
• 6–15+ years of experience in transmission line engineering.
• Demonstrated experience with generation interconnection (gen‑tie) projects, particularly for gas‑fired power plants.
• Strong knowledge of ASCE 48, NESC, IEEE, ASCE 74, and utility design standards.
• Experience working with major utilities or EOR firms.
• Familiarity with ISO/RTO interconnection processes.
• Experience in substation interface design for generation tie‑ins.
• Project management experience (PMP certification is a plus).
• Advanced degree (Master’s) in engineering or related field.
• Experience with generation interconnection for Wind, Solar, Battery Energy, and data center projects.

• Advanced technical expertise in transmission systems.
• Strong leadership and mentoring capability.
• Cross‑disciplinary coordination.
• Problem‑solving in complex, high‑risk environments.
• Effective communication with technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Out-of-office operations: this role operates out of Juno Beach office with occasional field travel.
