Transmission Line Engineer
About The Position
Leidos is seeking a Transmission Line Engineer to design electric utility transmission systems that support high-voltage and extra-high-voltage power delivery. The role includes engineering overhead and underground systems, contributing to projects that increase grid capacity, integrate renewable energy, and improve grid resilience. Engineers use PLS-CADD and related modeling tools to develop compliant designs and address site-specific engineering challenges. The position involves work across the project lifecycle, from conceptual routing and engineering analysis through material procurement and preparation of construction-ready packages. Senior or lead-level engineers may mentor junior engineers, manage client interfaces, and guide multidisciplinary teams. The posting describes the opportunity as 100% remote for candidates residing in the U.S., while also mentioning hybrid schedules and potential remote options in its general flexibility information. Leidos highlights professional development, e-learning, career mobility, a referral program, competitive benefits, and an inclusive, collaborative culture.
