Prior experience working for an EPC contractor, engineering consultancy, or electric utility.
Experience designing high-voltage transmission lines (69kV–500kV+).
Familiarity with NESC, IEEE standards, and utility design standards.
Experience using transmission design software such as PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, or similar tools.
Strong understanding of structural loading, conductor selection, and line design principles.
Excellent communication and coordination skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Professional Engineer (PE) license or working toward licensure.
Experience supporting renewable interconnection or grid modernization projects.
Experience with foundation design and geotechnical coordination.
Exposure to multi-state transmission projects or regional utilities.
