Transmission Line Engineer

• Perform detailed engineering and design for overhead transmission lines ranging from 69 kV to 500 kV.
• Develop transmission line alignments, plan-and-profile drawings, structure spotting, framing plans, and construction packages.
• Create and maintain PLS-CADD models using survey, LiDAR, GIS, utility, and environmental data.
• Perform structure modeling and analysis using PLS-POLE and PLS-TOWER.
• Complete conductor and shield-wire selection, sag-tension calculations, loading-tree development, and stringing-chart preparation.
• Evaluate NESC, GO 95, ASCE, IEEE, client-specific, and applicable state loading requirements.
• Perform electrical-clearance, blowout, uplift, galloping, and vegetation-clearance studies.
• Design and analyze wood, steel, concrete, lattice, monopole, and H-frame transmission structures.
• Calculate structure reactions, loading cases, allowable spans, attachment heights, and foundation design loads.
• Coordinate with civil and geotechnical engineers on drilled-shaft, direct-embed, micropile, and specialty foundation designs.
• Develop material specifications and bills of material for structures, conductors, insulators, hardware, grounding, and associated components.
• Perform route evaluations and support constructability, permitting, right-of-way, access-road, and environmental reviews.
• Conduct field investigations, condition assessments, structure inspections, and construction-support activities.
• Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, design criteria, specifications, and procurement documentation.
• Review vendor drawings, fabrication submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, and contractor technical submissions.
• Provide technical support during construction, including design clarifications, field-change evaluations, and record-drawing updates.
• Coordinate transmission-line interfaces with substations, distribution circuits, telecommunications, and underground systems.
• Lead design reviews and perform quality-control checks on calculations, models, drawings, and construction packages.
• Support project planning, scope development, cost estimates, schedules, and multidisciplinary coordination.
• Mentor junior engineers and designers while overseeing delegated technical work.
