[Hiring] Senior Transmission Line Engineer @ExecuPOWER

Role Description

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.

• 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

Qualifications

• 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

Requirements

• 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

Benefits

• Paid Time Off: PTO, holidays, summer hours, and parental leave
• Career Development: Tuition reimbursement, certifications, and advancement opportunities
• Financial Wellness: 401(k) with company match, bonus program, and HSA with contributions
• Health Coverage: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and even pet insurance
• Flexibility: Remote-first culture and flexible scheduling
• Company Culture: Lunch & learns, team events, and employee appreciation programs
