About The Position

The Engineer 3 - Civil provides civil-structural engineering expertise and supervision to transmission substation engineering and design teams, delivering safe, cost-effective, and high-quality engineering and design services. The role provides civil-structural design and direction for complex engineering and technical challenges and includes direct client project work and project-management support. The incumbent leads 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 efforts. Under minimum supervision, the incumbent identifies, analyzes, and resolves power-delivery and structural engineering problems; plans, estimates, schedules, and monitors work; and prepares technical reports, correspondence, documentation, calculations, and sketches. The engineer creates substation civil-structural drawing packages for foundations, structural steel, bus, and cable using applicable codes, industry standards, and best practices. The position involves regular interaction with client engineers and technical personnel, maintaining customer relationships, monitoring deliverables and schedules, and presenting solutions to clients. Other duties may be assigned by management. The position requires a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution, at least eight years of power-delivery engineering experience in the electrical industry, and a Professional Engineer (PE) license. Desired capabilities include substation civil-structural design, project scoping and management, mentoring junior staff, field and construction support, and collaboration with clients and other project stakeholders. The stated compensation range is $110,000 to $140,000. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance; paid time off; a 401(k); flexible spending accounts; life and disability insurance; and other listed insurance, legal, identity-protection, discount, and service-award offerings. Health care benefits are available upon election beginning on the first day of employment.
