What is the difference between Remote Overhead Transmission Line vs Remote Substation Technician?

AspectRemote Overhead Transmission LineRemote Substation Technician
CredentialsLine clearance certifications, safety trainingElectrical certifications, safety training
Work EnvironmentOutdoor, high-voltage lines, often in remote areasSubstation facilities, indoor/outdoor, near power plants
Industry UsagePower transmission, utility companiesPower distribution, utility companies

Remote Overhead Transmission Line and Remote Substation Technician roles both require electrical safety certifications and involve working with high-voltage equipment. However, transmission line workers focus on maintaining and repairing overhead power lines in outdoor environments, while substation technicians work on electrical equipment within substations. Both roles are essential in power delivery and often overlap in industry and certification requirements.

Job description

Senior Overhead Transmission Line Engineer
Location: Remote (U.S.) and/or King of Prussia, PA (Headquarters)
Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire
About ExecuPOWER:
ExecuPOWER is a rapidly growing, certified women-owned engineering consulting firm delivering premium power delivery and transmission engineering services to major utility clients across the U.S. Our team specializes in high-voltage transmission line design (69kV-500kV), supporting critical infrastructure projects that power communities and drive grid reliability.
About the Role:
We're hiring a Senior Transmission Engineer to support the design of overhead transmission lines using tools like PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, and PLS-TOWER.
This role is ideal for an engineer ready to own full design packages, work directly with utility clients, and grow into a senior-level position, without being stuck doing redlines or siloed work.
What You'll Own:
  • Full transmission line design packages from routing through final deliverables
  • Engineering decisions, including structure spotting, sag-tension, and foundation/clearance analysis
  • Collaboration with utility clients, PMs, and field teams
  • Design execution using PLS-CADD and industry-standard tools

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Design high-voltage transmission lines (69kV-500kV) for overhead and underground systems
  • Perform PLS-CADD modeling, including sag-tension analysis, clearance calculations, and structure spotting
  • Develop line routing, plan & profiles, and cable systems
  • Develop project cost estimates, schedules, and design options for client approvals.
  • Conduct engineering studies, including ampacity, cable selection, and system modeling
  • Prepare and review engineering drawings, material specs, and asset data (SAP / Asset Suite)
  • Collaborate with clients, vendors, and internal teams to deliver projects on schedule and within scope
  • Ensure compliance with NESC, ASCE, IEEE, and utility standards
  • Prepare technical reports, status updates, and maintain timely documentation.

What You Bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering (ABET-accredited preferred)
  • 4-8 years of transmission line design experience in the electric utility or consulting industry
  • Hands-on experience with PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, or PLS-TOWER
  • Strong understanding of high-voltage transmission systems (69kV-500kV)
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, MicroStation, and/or GIS
  • Knowledge of NESC, IEEE, ANSI, and ASCE standards
  • Ability to perform engineering calculations (sag, tension, clearance)
  • Strong communication and ability to work cross-functionally in a remote environment

Preferred Qualifications:
  • EIT or PE (or ability to obtain)
  • Experience with PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, PLS-TOWER, MFAD, L-PILE
  • Experience designing custom structures (Steel, FRP, Laminate, Ductile IRON, etc.)
  • Experience supporting major utilities across the USA

What You Won't Be Stuck Doing:
  • Redlining drawings all day
  • Working on one small piece of a project in assembly design structure
  • Waiting on layers of approvals to make decisions

What Success Looks Like (6 Months):
  • Independently executing PLS-CADD designs for transmission projects
  • Becoming part of a team-oriented environment; training, developing, and mentoring those around you
  • Owning deliverables with minimal oversight
