Activities include competitively sourcing, selecting and contracting geotechnical, survey, engineering, and construction services, and supporting the E&C Cost Estimating Team with scope assumptions.

  • The Transmission Line Principal Engineer coordinates the engineering deliverables to support competitive proposals, and design and construction of projects. Deliverables include Issued for Bid, Issued for Procurement, Issued for Construction, and As-built drawings, design criteria, and contributions to proposals (RFP).

  • We ask that you have coordination with other groups to ensure the projects are successful. Generally responsible for representing E&C's internal and external interests on assigned projects, including presentations/briefing on current progress, issues, and risk mitigation in meetings with multiple levels of management.

Who You Are:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical, Mechanical or Civil/Structural Engineering.

  • Minimum of 7 years of direct experience in the development, design, engineering, and construction of High Voltage Transmission line projects.

  • You have knowledge of transmission design.

  • We ask that you have technical competence such as the ability to understand one line and three-line diagrams, general arrangements, plan and profiles and other common deliverables.

  • Travel required within North America.

  • Strongly desire proficiency with standard industry tools such as PLSCADD, Microsoft products, Auto-CAD, Primavera and other software.
