About The Position

The Engineer 2 - Civil provides civil-structural engineering expertise and support to transmission substation engineering and design teams to deliver safe, cost-effective, 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, manages project schedules and budgets, and contributes to proposal development, 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 creates substation civil-structural drawing packages for foundations, structural steel, bus, and cable using applicable national codes, industry standards, and best practices. It involves regular interaction with customers’ engineers and technical personnel, maintaining professional customer relationships, monitoring deliverables and schedules, and presenting solutions. The employee is expected to attend regularly, represent the company professionally, continually develop job-related knowledge and skills, and perform other duties as assigned. The position requires a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution and 2–4 years of civil/structural engineering experience in the electrical power-delivery industry. EIT certification is strongly preferred, and the candidate should be actively working toward a Professional Engineering license with the ability to obtain it within two years.
