Descripción de la vacante

Acro Service Corp. seeks a Design QA/QC Lead – Overhead Distribution to serve as the first-line independent technical reviewer for conversion and distribution overhead work packages within the OHD QA/QC function.

This role performs structured design reviews at 30%, 60%, and 90% completion, ensuring external designs meet DDO standards, are constructible, and defect-free before scheduling and construction. The position collaborates with the QA/QC Supervisor, contributes to field verifications, and

Formación

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related discipline.
• Senior level: minimum 6 years of relevant experience in overhead distribution design, engineering, or construction.
• Advanced level: minimum 8 years of relevant experience, including demonstrated independent technical review or design QA/QC experience.
• Working knowledge of DDO, standards and construction details, or equivalent utility overhead distribution design standards.
• Direct experience with 4.8kV to 13.2kV or comparable voltage conversion projects.
• Experience with staged (30/60/90%) design review processes.
• Experience with sag/tension analysis, pole loading analysis, or related engineering verification tools.
• Familiarity with Maximo, Documentum, and Bluebeam tools used in design and work management workflow.
• Experience identifying, documenting, and dispositioning standards for exceptions and deviations.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license, preferred but not required

Responsabilidades

• Conduct structured 30%, 60%, and 90% design reviews of conversion and distribution overhead work packages submitted by external design service providers, documenting findings against DDO, standards and construction details.
• Verify design accuracy and standards compliance across conductor sizing and ampacity, clearances, grounding, pole class and loading, and armless versus crossarm construction.
• Verify conversion-specific design changes, including insulation levels, arrester and cutout ratings, and secondary impacts associated with 4.8kV to 13.2kV conversion.
• Evaluate constructability and safety considerations, including tree trim requirements, joint use coordination, top cut sequencing, and construction list completeness.
• Conduct field site visits as required to verify existing conditions, constructability, and design accuracy.
• Log all findings, RFIs, and review outcomes.
• Contribute to the QA/QC lessons learned process by identifying recurring defects and trends that should inform checklist updates, standards clarifications, or reviewer training.
• Provide design service provider performance input, including accuracy, completeness, and rework frequency, to support vendor scorecards and quality metrics reporting.
• Partner with the QA/QC Engineering Supervisor to validate and refine AI-assisted review tools used to support conversion and distribution package reviews.
• Technical Review Scope
• The reviewer is expected to independently evaluate conversion and distribution design packages across the following technical areas: Conductor loading, ampacity, and approved conductor sizes for new construction; Voltage drop and voltage regulation checks for new overhead laterals; Transformer sizing and loading, including flags for oversized or undersized transformers; Fuse sizing and coordination with upstream protective devices; Vertical and horizontal clearance requirements over roadways, driveways, and structures, including where standards are more restrictive than NESC; Pole loading analysis triggers, wind/ice loading zone application, and pole class requirements; Grounding and neutral continuity requirements, including ground rod spacing; 4.8kV to 13.2kV conversion-specific equipment and design standard changes; Standards exceptions and non-standard design documentation requirements; Armless versus crossarm construction triggers; Span length and sag/tension table verification; C
