$134.55k - $205.56k

Sargent & Lundy

Description

Responsibilities may include the following:

  • Design transmission lines in the 69kV to 765kV range.

  • Mentor and train less experienced design team members.

  • Coordinate design activities to ensure installation and operations will comply with specifications, codes, and client requirements.

  • Prepare reports and studies that present technical information in a clear and concise manner and meet client requirements and S&L formats.

  • Perform independent reviews of work performed by others including calculations, drawing preparation, and transmission line models based in PLS-CADD.

  • Adhere to Sargent & Lundy's System of Processes.

This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week.

Essential skills and experience:

  • BS degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program.

  • 12 years of transmission design experience.

  • Proficiency with PLS-CADD software.

  • Experience working directly with clients on transmission lines from 69kV through 500kV.

  • Knowledge of engineering standards including NESC, IEC, ASCE, ACI, IEEE and ANSI.

  • PE license

  • PMP certification

AI & Automation at Sargent & Lundy

In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to lead others who use modern tools:

  • You are expected to lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.

  • Leaders in these roles often direct automation and process-improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked.

  • Overseeing engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs, is valued but not required.

  • We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI-enabled engineering workflows.
