Senior Structural High Voltage Transmission Lines Engineer

Opis stanowiska

Here is what you will do:

Design, Analysis, and Development:

• Lead the structural design and analysis of overhead transmission line systems, including lattice towers, steel poles, wood poles, and associated hardware.
• Perform structure loading, line profiling, spotting, and clearance studies using PLS-CADD, PLS-TOWER, and PLS-POLE.
• Develop detailed design drawings, specifications, and bill of materials for tower and pole structures, foundation designs, guying, and conductor/cable supports.
• Ensure compliance with IEC, IEEE, AISC, and applicable utility/client standards.
• Coordinate with electrical, civil, geotechnical, and environmental teams to align line routing and structure placement with project constraints.
• Integrate wind, ice, and seismic loading per applicable codes and standards.

Leadership & Project Management:

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to structural engineers and drafters throughout the design lifecycle.
• Support proposal development, cost estimation, and scope definition for transmission line projects.
• Participate in or lead design reviews, internal QA/QC, and interface meetings. Track progress against project schedules and budgets

Field Support & Construction Coordination:

• Provide engineering support during construction, inspection, and post-construction phases of transmission line installations.
• Assist in the preparation and review of construction packages, including foundation layouts and tower/pole assembly instructions, resolve structural issues during execution.

Documentation & Quality Assurance:

• Prepare and review structural analysis reports, material take-offs, construction drawings, compliance across deliverables and calculation packages.
• Maintain design records and ensure compliance with internal QA/QC protocols.

Innovation & Standards Development:

• Drive standardization and optimization of structure libraries, design templates, and line design workflows.

Education :

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering (or related discipline).

Experience :

• Minimum 6 years of experience in transmission line structural design
• Proficiency in PLS-CADD, PLS-TOWER, and PLS-POLE for transmission line engineering.
• Advanced knowledge of overhead line design, including structural behavior under loading, sag-tension, galloping, and cascading.
• Familiarity with foundation design, including direct embed, drilled pier, and pad & pier systems.
• Experience with European and international applicable standards.
• Understanding of electrical clearance requirements, conductor selection, and routing constraints.

Leadership and Soft Skills:

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical teams and manage engineering deliverables across multiple projects.
• Strong organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills.

Nice to Have:

• Professional Engineer (PE) license or eligibility in relevant jurisdiction.
• Experience with EMF analysis, aerial surveys, or LiDAR-based routing.
• Knowledge of corrosion protection, structure retrofitting, or asset condition assessment techniques.
• Familiarity with client standards from major utilities or regional transmission organizations.
• Exposure to design for resiliency, including wildfire, extreme weather, and storm hardening considerations.
