The Opportunity

Join a premier team solving the complex puzzles of the modern power grid.

  • Leadership: (For Senior/Lead roles) Mentor junior engineers, manage client interfaces, and steer multi-disciplinary teams toward successful project delivery.

Core Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in engineering and prior relevant experience in the design of electric utility transmission systems

  • Software Proficiency: Expert-level or working knowledge of PLS-CADD and PLS-POLE .

  • Standards: Working knowledge of NESC, ACI, AISC, and ASCE codes.

  • Communication: Ability to translate complex engineering concepts into clear project scopes and client presentations.

Senior-Level

  • 4+ Years, PE preferred, Supervisory experience, Full review & QC

Lead-Level

  • 8+ Years, PE license required, Strategic oversight & Mentorship, Budgeting, Proposals & Strategy
