Transmission Civil Engineer I

About the Role

The Transmission Civil Engineer I is an entry-level member of the Transmission Engineering group, primarily responsible for supporting the planning and design of high-voltage underground transmission lines. Working under the direction of experienced engineers, this position will assist with route development, civil design, construction drawings, permitting, and field support. The engineer will collaborate with survey, subsurface utility engineering, geotechnical, structural, electrical, environmental, and construction teams to develop safe, practical, and cost-effective designs. This position offers an exceptional foundation for an early-career engineer to develop technical expertise across a broad range of transmission disciplines, including overhead and underground power line design, substation, distribution, renewable energy, power storage, and communications work.

Key Responsibilities

• Work under the direction of licensed and senior engineers to support underground transmission projects for clients across the U.S.
• Assist with route development and civil design for duct banks, vaults or manholes, risers, and open-cut or trenchless crossings.
• Prepare and revise plan and profile drawings, sections, details, quantity takeoffs, calculations, and construction documents.
• Review survey, existing utility, right-of-way, geotechnical, and permitting information and help identify project constraints and conflicts.
• Coordinate with engineers, designers, and other disciplines and participate in design reviews and project meetings.
• Perform site visits and field data collection and support permitting, construction questions, and record drawings as needed.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Civil Engineering principles
• Interpret drawings
• Analyze information
• Solve problems
• MS Office Software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Project)

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering or Civil/Structural Engineering from an ABET-accredited engineering program.
• Zero to two years of relevant experience.
• Strong communication, organization, attention to detail, and willingness to learn.

For Preferred Consideration (Not Required):

• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification, successful completion of the FE exam, or the ability to obtain certification.
• Internship, co-op, or coursework related to power delivery, underground utilities, civil infrastructure, or construction.
