About the Job

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Civil/Structural Engineering.
  • At least 7 years of direct experience in the development, design, engineering, and construction of high-voltage transmission line projects.
  • Technical competence, including the ability to understand one-line and three-line diagrams, general arrangements, plan and profiles, and other common deliverables.
  • Travel within North America is required.

Responsibilities

  • Manage the design of assigned transmission generation tie lines for wind, solar, and battery energy storage, as well as stand-alone transmission line projects.
  • Manage transmission line project design from conception (early stage) through construction and commissioning (execution), directing engineering consultants because the client does not perform design in-house.
  • Focus on transmission line work; substation design, power systems analysis, and protection and control are managed by others.
  • Work with the Early Stage Project Manager and Development Group in the conceptual phase to define and influence project requirements and scope. Projects may begin as FERC 1000 transmission project proposals or as greenfield projects.
  • Secure engineering consulting resources from approved suppliers by developing scopes of work, securing bids, evaluating bids, and awarding work through the Integrated Supply Chain Group.
  • Coordinate with project stakeholders to develop and secure a route and support the engineering data and permits needed to design and build the line, including geotechnical and lidar data.
  • Competitively source, select, and contract geotechnical, survey, engineering, and construction services.
  • Support the E&C Cost Estimating Team with scope assumptions.
