Job description

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days.

As a transmission line drafter, your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • This position will offer you the opportunity to utilize and expand your drafting skills, while working in a multi-disciplined team environment with other drafters, designers and/or engineers in the development of transmission/distribution line drawings.
  • You will have the opportunity to apply your computer-aided drafting skills, while receiving hands-on training in 3D design software environments, such as PLSCADD, AutoCAD 3D and/or MicroStation. 
  • Some of your responsibilities will include the development of transmission line plans and profile drawings, transmission/distribution line hardware details, material lists, and grounding details.
  • You will be involved in creating master sketches to scale showing relation of proposed installations to existing facilities and exact specifications and dimensions.  In preparing your drawings, you will confer directly with engineering staff in interpreting input from a variety of sources, such as engineering specifications, weight and volume calculations, and stress factors.
  • While interfacing with the project team, you may be given the opportunity to explain your drawings so appropriate design adjustments can be made.

We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.

Essential skills and experience:

  • An Associate degree in drafting, or a high school diploma and 2 or more years drafting course work or equivalent technical experience.
  • Basic knowledge of standard computer drafting tools (i.e. AutoCAD or MicroStation).
  • Ability to visualize parts in 3D without the aid of the computer.
  • Good communication skills (verbal and written)
  • Attention to detail

Valued but not required skills and experience:

  • Experience using Microstation, PLS-CADD, AutoCAD Civil 3D and/or GIS software. 
  • Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of technical plans, drawings, and models.
  • Knowledge of the practical application of engineering science and technology, including the ability to relate various equipment to a technical design.
