Descrizione del lavoro

Atwell, LLC in Chicago is seeking a mid-level Transmission Line Engineer to lead design of overhead and underground transmission lines for utility clients in a consulting/owner’s-engineer setting. You will own deliverables from feasibility through IFC, model lines with PLS-CADD, and coordinate interfaces with substations and civil teams.

The role requires 6–10 years of experience, a BS in electrical or civil/structural engineering, and strong client-facing communication.

Competenze

• 6–10 years of transmission line engineering experience in a consulting or owner's-engineer setting.
• BS in Electrical or Civil/Structural Engineering; PE preferred; EIT required if not licensed.
• Proficiency with PLS-CADD/POLE/TOWER for OHTL; familiarity with UGTL analysis and typical tools/workflows for ampacity/thermal rating.
• Demonstrated application of NESC and ASCE methods for OHTL; working knowledge of UG cable systems (XLPE/HV cables, bonding/grounding, joints/terminations, vault/manhole design, HDD/trench details).
• Strong writing and client-facing communication; ability to lead technical meetings, defend design decisions, and drive multi-disciplinary coordination.

Mansioni

• Own TL engineering deliverables from feasibility through IFC for overhead and underground: route selection, design criteria, calculations, structure/cable selections, and complete construction packages.
• Model & analyze overhead lines in PLS-CADD/POLE/TOWER for clearances, sag/tension, loading, galloping/ice/wind, ratings, and foundation reactions; generate staking sheets, plan/profile, and structure details.
• Engineer underground transmission: route & duct bank layouts, manhole/vault spacing, cable ampacity/thermal rating (e.g., IEC-based methods), sheath bonding/grounding, pulling/tension calculations, HDD/trench details, thermal backfill specs, and splicing plans.
• Apply standards (e.g., NESC, ASCE methods for OHTL; IEC-based ampacity/thermal methods and common utility standards for UGTL) and prepare sealed criteria, specs, and calc packages.
• Coordinate interfaces with substations (line terminals, dead-ends, GIS/air-insulated connections), civil/structural/geotech (e.g., L-PILE/foundations, vault pads), environmental/permitting, and real estate/ROW.
• Support construction with RFIs, vendor/shop drawing reviews, outage/work packages, energization support, site walks, and as-builts (OH and UG).
