About The Position

The Senior Transmission Line Engineer 2 applies and expands expertise in transmission line engineering, including conductors, hardware, insulation, structures, foundations, and electrical principles. The role designs transmission lines in the 69 kV to 500 kV range and handles cost analyses, design criteria, routing, siting, and studies involving conductor selection, shielding, grounding, and induction. The engineer works with vendors and clients to specify line components and directs a small project team.
