The Opportunity

Join a premier team solving the complex puzzles of the modern power grid.

Your Impact

  • Design Excellence: Engineer overhead and underground systems using PLS-CADD, ensuring compliance with NESC, ASCE, and ACI standards.

  • End-to-End Ownership: Move projects from conceptual routing and engineering analysis to material procurement and construction-ready packages.

  • Innovation: Apply advanced modeling (PLS-TOWER, LPILE, FAD) to solve site-specific challenges, from complex foundation designs to intricate voltage conversions.

  • Leadership: (For Senior/Lead roles) Mentor junior engineers, manage client interfaces, and steer multi-disciplinary teams toward successful project delivery.

Who You Are

Core Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering and prior relevant experience in the design of electric utility transmission systems

  • Software Proficiency: Expert-level or working knowledge of PLS-CADD and PLS-POLE.

  • Standards: Working knowledge of NESC, ACI, AISC, and ASCE codes.

  • Communication: Ability to translate complex engineering concepts into clear project scopes and client presentations.

Level-Specific Qualifications

Mid-Level

  • 2+ Years, EIT preferred, Team contributor, Design & Analysis

Senior-Level

  • 4+ Years, PE preferred, Supervisory experience, Full review & QC

Lead-Level

  • 8+ Years, PE license required, Strategic oversight & Mentorship, Budgeting, Proposals & Strategy

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with LPILE, FAD Tools, Mathcad, or AutoCAD.

  • Hands-on Construction Management or Field Support experience.

  • Familiarity with Bentley ProjectWise.

Why Join Us?

  • Stability & Reputation: Work for a company recognized as one of the "World's Most Ethical Companies."

  • Growth: We offer complementary e-learning, clear mobility paths, and a robust External Referral Program.

  • Flexibility: We value work-life balance with hybrid schedules and potential remote options for the right candidate.
