Candidates without utility pole, make-ready, joint-use, or distribution design experience will not be considered.

What We Offer

• Base salary up to $90,000, depending on experience
• Fully remote, with a paid in-person onboarding at our headquarters
• Company-provided laptop, dual monitors, and design software licenses
• Medical, dental, and vision, including a no-cost plan option
