• Provide project updates and technical briefings to internal stakeholders and management.

• Promote value engineering while maintaining appropriate design quality, technical standards and project requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Civil or Structural Engineering.

• Minimum 7 years of direct experience in the development, design, engineering and construction of high-voltage transmission line projects.

• Strong knowledge of transmission line design and engineering principles.

• Experience managing engineering deliverables, consultants and multidisciplinary project interfaces.

• Ability to understand and review one-line and three-line diagrams, general arrangements, plan and profile drawings and other common engineering deliverables.

• Strong project management, analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to travel within North America as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Project Engineering and/or Project Management experience within transmission or utility infrastructure.

• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license and/or PMP certification.

• Experience with PLS-CADD.

• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Primavera and Microsoft Office applications.

• Experience supporting renewable generation tie-lines for wind, solar and battery energy storage projects.

The successful candidate will combine strong high-voltage transmission line engineering knowledge with the ability to manage external engineering resources, coordinate multiple project stakeholders and deliver high-quality engineering packages throughout the project lifecycle.
