Martinsburg, WV

Overview

Brooksource is seeking a Design Technician to support Distribution Design operations for a leading electric utility

company. This role is responsible for developing overhead and underground distribution designs, meeting on site

with developers, contractors, and customers to scope new work, and translating field conditions into constructible

design packages that get released to the line crews.

This position is based out of the company's Martinsburg, WV service center and splits time roughly evenly

between field work and office design work. The Martinsburg shop is one of the fastest-moving design groups in

the organization, and these openings are the result of growth in customer demand rather than backfill. This role is

ideal for early-career candidates who want real ownership quickly, enjoy variety over a fixed desk routine, and are

looking to build a long-term career supporting utility operations.

? Demonstrate a solid commitment to all aspects of safety

? Meet on site with developers, builders, contractors, and customers to scope new service and distribution

work

? Stake poles, take field measurements, and assess job sites for constructability

Cruise)

? Acquire right-of-way and easements required to move jobs forward

? Complete the documentation and coordination needed to release a job packet to construction

? Partner with the lines group and fellow designers to keep the construction backlog moving

? Provide ongoing assistance during emergencies and storm-related activities

? Perform other duties as assigned

Skills & Experience

? Associate's or Bachelor's degree; field of study is flexible — engineering, engineering technology,

construction, drafting, or an unrelated degree paired with strong motivation

? Strong communication and collaboration skills; comfortable representing the company in front of

developers, contractors, and homeowners

? Highly organized and self-directed, with the ability to keep a high volume of jobs moving simultaneously

? Willingness to seek guidance and advice to fill gaps in understanding

? Valid driver's license and willingness to travel locally between job sites

? Drafting, CAD, or GIS experience preferred (AutoCAD, MicroStation, ArcGIS)

? Exposure to electric utility, distribution, or civil/site design work preferred

? Basic knowledge of electric theory preferred First 90 Days

? 30 days — Software access and setup, with ride-alongs alongside the lines group and other designers to

learn how work flows from design through construction

? 60 days — Designing your own jobs with support from your supervisor and the broader team

? 90 days — Owning your own geographic area and meeting with developers independently

Work Environment

? On-site position based out of the company's Martinsburg, WV service center

? Approximately 50% field work and 50% office design work, flexed around job schedules and drive time

? Field work is performed outdoors in all weather conditions

? May provide support during storm and other emergency response activities

? Reports to a Martinsburg-based supervisor who is directly involved in mentoring and development; in-
