About The Position

Provide civil-structural engineering expertise and support to Transmission Substation engineering and design teams, delivering safe, cost-effective, and quality engineering and design services. The role provides civil-structural design and direction for complex engineering and technical challenges and includes direct billable project work and project management support. The incumbent supports discipline-specific project work, performs responsible-charge engineering duties, and manages project schedules and budgets. The role also supports proposal development, project cost estimating, and business development. Under minimum supervision, the incumbent identifies, analyzes, and resolves engineering, technical, and design problems; plans, organizes, estimates, schedules, and monitors work; and prepares accurate technical reports, correspondence, documentation, calculations, and sketches. The role includes creating substation civil-structural drawing packages for foundations, structural steel, bus, and cable using national codes, industry standards, and best practices. The incumbent interacts with customers’ internal engineers and technical personnel, maintains professional customer relationships, monitors deliverables and schedules, and presents solutions to clients. Other duties may be assigned by management. The position requires a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited college or university and 2–4 years of civil/structural engineering experience in the electrical power-delivery industry. EIT certification is strongly preferred. The employee is expected to be actively working toward a Professional Engineering license and able to obtain it within two years. Desired capabilities include substation civil drawing and design, foundation and structural analysis, project estimating and coordination, construction support, and collaboration with project teams, clients, and other disciplines.
