• Develop and oversee detailed lattice tower models, fabrication drawings, assembly and erection drawings, member and connection details, bolt schedules, material bundle lists, and bills of material (BOM).
• Prepare and validate design and construction deliverables, including 2D/3D CADD models, fabrication packages, construction drawings, and as-built documentation.
• Use AutoCAD, MicroStation, Bocad, and other applicable detailing tools to develop accurate tower models and drawings.
• Review engineering calculations, design drawings, specifications, and as-built information to ensure accurate detailing and identify design discrepancies.
• Coordinate with transmission line and structural engineers, project teams, steel fabricators, contractors, and construction personnel to resolve technical, fabrication, and constructability issues.
• Develop detailing solutions for member orientation, connections, splices, foundation interfaces, fabrication limitations, and constructability requirements.
• Perform and oversee QA/QC reviews of tower models, drawings, fabrication packages, erection plans, and material documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance with project requirements.
• Ensure detailing complies with applicable ASCE, AISC, NESC, utility/client standards, safety requirements, and established industry practices.
• Serve as a technical resource and provide guidance and mentorship to junior detailers and designers, including detailing practices, CADD/Bocad modeling, drawing standards, and QA/QC procedures.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil or Mechanical Engineering.
• 15-20 years of relevant post-education experience in transmission lattice tower detailing.
• Experience with steel transmission lattice tower detailing at 345 kV HVAC voltage-level.
• Expert working experience with the following U.S. Codes: ASCE 10, ASCE Manual 74, NESC.
• Advanced knowledge of lattice transmission tower detailing, drafting principles, fabrication practices, and construction requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to independently detail complete lattice towers in 3D software such as Bocad or Tekla, including members, connections, bolts, fabrication drawings, erection drawings, and BOMs.
• Advanced knowledge of applicable codes, standards, utility requirements, and fabrication specifications for lattice steel transmission structures.
• Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings drafted in imperial units, and technical specifications.
• Strong understanding of 50+ year old structural steel detailing, connection geometry, member orientation, bolt arrangements, tolerances, fit-up, and constructability.
