Transmission Line Engineer

As a Mid to Senior Transmission Line Engineer at QTIB Engineers, you will take ownership of high-voltage overhead and underground transmission line projects (69kV to 500kV). You will serve as a primary technical decision-maker, leading projects through the full engineering lifecycle from initial routing to final construction deliverables.
 
Responsibilities

• Technical Decision-Making: Take day-to-day responsibility for engineering judgments, structural analysis methods, and line routing selections with high autonomy.
• Engineering Design: Perform complete engineering and modeling for high-voltage transmission lines using PLS-CADD software suites.
• Deliverable Creation: Develop comprehensive engineering packages, including structure framing, conductor sag-tension reports, clearance calculations, and foundation designs.
• Workflow Optimization: Establish and refine standard design criteria, engineering templates, and quality control workflows to maximize team efficiency.
• Client & Project Coordination: Partner with project managers to interface with utility clients, define project scopes, and ensure technical alignment.
• Compliance & Standards: Ensure all designs strictly adhere to client specifications, environmental constraints, and national codes like NESC, ASCE, and IEEE.
• Team Development: Provide technical mentorship, guidance, and QA/QC reviews for junior engineering and design staff.
• Construction Support: Oversee construction phase support by resolving field issues, reviewing material submittals, and responding to contractor RFIs.

 
Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor of Science degree in Civil, Structural, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license is highly preferred, or a verified path to obtain it within 6-12 months.
• Experience: Minimum of 4 to 7 years of progressive experience dedicated to high-voltage transmission line design.
• Software Mastery: High proficiency in PLS-CADD (including structure modeling and criteria development) and foundation design software.
• Decision-Making Ability: Proven capability to take ownership of technical projects, make independent engineering judgments, and defend design choices.
• Leadership Ambition: Clear desire to advance quickly into a management role and take on expanding team-building responsibilities.
• Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills to write clear technical reports, specifications, and interface effectively with project stakeholders.
