Job description

Who We Are

Atwell, LLC is a bold leader in the consulting, engineering, and construction services industry, delivering a broad range of creative solutions to clients in the real estate & land development, and energy markets. We have a strong national presence and a diverse, award-winning project portfolio. Atwell is a privately owned company, with 2,000+ passionate team members across 75+ locations and growing!

Atwell, LLC is a proud recipient of the following 2025 awards:

  • Ten consecutive years in a row as a "Best Place to Work" by Zweig Group (#11)
  • Recognized as #70 in the ENR Top 500 Design Firms, ranked in every region
  • Recognized in Crain's "Fast 50" as one of the fastest-growing companies (#14)
  • Recognized as the 2025 ENR Design Firm of the year for the Southeastern US

Transmission Line Engineer

Atwell's Power & Energy group delivers utility-scale overhead and underground transmission, substation, and renewable interconnections nationwide. We're hiring a Transmission Line Engineer (mid-level) to take a technical lead on both OH and UG line design in a consulting/owner's-engineer environment with utility clients.

What you'll do

  • Own TL engineering deliverables from feasibility through IFC for overhead and underground: route selection, design criteria, calculations, structure/cable selections, and complete construction packages.
  • Model & analyze overhead lines in PLS-CADD/PLS-POLE/TOWER for clearances, sag/tension, loading, galloping/ice/wind, ratings, and foundation reactions; generate staking sheets, plan/profile, and structure details.
  • Engineer underground transmission: route & duct bank layouts, manhole/vault spacing, cable ampacity/thermal rating (e.g., IEC-based methods), sheath bonding/grounding, pulling/tension calculations, HDD/trench details, thermal backfill specs, and splicing plans.
  • Apply standards (e.g., NESC, ASCE methods for OHTL; IEC-based ampacity/thermal methods and common utility standards for UGTL) and prepare sealed criteria, specs, and calc packages.
  • Coordinate interfaces with substations (line terminals, dead-ends, GIS/air-insulated connections), civil/structural/geotech (e.g., L-PILE/foundations, vault pads), environmental/permitting, and real estate/ROW.
  • Support construction with RFIs, vendor/shop drawing reviews, outage/work packages, energization support, site walks, and as-builts (OH and UG).

What you bring

  • 6–10 years of transmission line engineering in a consulting or owner's-engineer setting, covering both overhead and underground (utility client experience is a strong plus).
  • Bachelor's in Electrical or Civil/Structural Engineering (or related). PE preferred; EIT required if not licensed.
  • Proficiency with PLS-CADD/POLE/TOWER for OHTL; familiarity with UGTL analysis and typical tools/workflows for ampacity/thermal rating, cable pulling, and duct-bank design (e.g., CYMCAP or equivalent a plus).
  • Demonstrated application of NESC and ASCE methods for OHTL; working knowledge of UG cable systems (XLPE/HV cables, bonding/grounding, joints/terminations, vault/manhole design, HDD/trench details).
  • Strong writing and client-facing communication; ability to lead technical meetings, defend design decisions, and drive multi-disciplinary coordination.

Nice to have

  • Underground transmission specialties (thermal backfill characterization, sheath loss mitigation, link box layouts).
  • Experience with line-terminal design inside substations, bus work, and equipment connections.
  • Familiarity with environmental/permitting/ROW constraints and constructability reviews for both OH and UG.

Pay Range - $100,000 - $145,000 base + Bonus.
