Power Line Construction Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

2 Openings

(II) Works under the direct supervision of a senior inspector on projects assigned and under the general guidance of the Manager, Construction Inspection. Will be designated for specific inspection activities and tasks as part of the overall project scope of work, providing construction inspection and safety oversight on new construction and modification projects of electric power transmission lines and substations. The scopes of project work this position will contribute some inspection tasks to are substation site development, substation construction, transmission line right-of-way clearing, or transmission line construction, based on the experience and expertise of the worker. The position will contribute to the overall environmental compliance and project site management throughout the duration of all construction activities. The position will demonstrate increasing capabilities of providing contractor oversight and managing the overall safety on typical GTC substation or transmission line projects.

This position is expected to provide quality results on all inspection duties, informal and formal documentation, and communication on typical project scopes. The position will assist senior inspectors in providing project teams with construction support for engineering and environmental-related issues on projects assigned to the senior inspector. Incumbents must develop a working knowledge of specific types of tools, equipment, and materials used in substation and transmission line construction with typical voltages ranging from 12 kV to 500 kV.

(III) Works with minimal direct supervision for assigned projects under the general guidance of the Manager, Construction Inspection, providing construction inspection and safety oversight on new construction and modification projects of electric power transmission lines and substations. Projects are assigned by the Manager, Construction Inspection, based on the needs of GTC. This position may work as the lead inspector on directly assigned typical projects or as part of an inspection team under a Senior Inspector on larger or more complicated projects of advanced difficulty. The scopes of project work this position may be responsible for are substation site development, substation construction, transmission line right-of-way clearing, or transmission line construction, based on the experience and expertise of the worker. The position may be responsible for the overall environmental compliance and project site management throughout the duration of all construction activities, based on the project assignment. The position is capable of providing contractor oversight and managing the overall safety on projects of an increased relative complexity, including but not limited to those projects with occasional challenging circumstances such as hot line work, energized bus proximity, a changing clearance sequence, or somewhat compressed schedules.

This position is expected to provide high-quality results on all inspection duties, informal and formal documentation, and communication, on project scopes of increasing difficulty. The position will assist project teams with construction support of engineering and environmental-related issues on their assigned projects, as well as assist other inspectors and environmental technicians in the field as needed. The position will occasionally mentor entry-level and minimally experienced inspectors and environmental technicians during their training and developmental phase. Incumbents must maintain a working knowledge of specific types of tools, equipment, and materials used in substation and transmission line construction with typical voltages ranging from 12 kV to 500 kV.

(IV) Works with little to no direct supervision under the general guidance of the Manager, Construction Inspection, providing construction inspection and safety oversight on new construction and modification projects of electric power transmission lines and substations. Projects are assigned by the Manager, Construction Inspection, based on the needs of GTC. This position may work as the lead inspector on directly assigned typical projects of advanced difficulty or as part of an inspection team under a Senior Inspector on larger or more complicated projects of the highest difficulty. The scopes of project work this position may be responsible for are substation site development, substation construction, transmission line right-of-way clearing, or transmission line construction, based on the experience and expertise of the worker. The position is responsible for the overall environmental compliance and project site management throughout the duration of all construction activities. The position can provide contractor oversight and manage the overall safety on simultaneous projects of a high relative complexity, including but not limited to those projects with occasional challenging circumstances such as hot line work, energized bus proximity, a changing clearance sequence, or somewhat compressed schedules.
This position is expected to provide near expert quality results on all inspection duties, informal and formal documentation, and communication, regardless of project scope. The position will assist project teams with construction support of engineering and environmental-related issues on their assigned projects, as well as assist other inspectors and environmental technicians in the field as needed. The position will occasionally mentor less experienced inspectors and environmental technicians during their training and developmental phase. Incumbents must maintain an excellent working knowledge of specific types of tools, equipment and materials used in substation and transmission line construction with typical voltages ranging from 12 kV to 500 kV.
