Transmission & Distribution
Underground Transmission Engineering Manager
Remote
Role detail
What the search involves.
This firm's underground transmission book runs deep enough to be its own discipline, and it's hiring an engineering manager to lead design and EPC delivery for it, inside a much larger T&D practice.
Most firms treat underground transmission as an occasional add-on to overhead work. Here it's run as its own book, so you'd own the discipline outright instead of splitting projects with two or three other specialties.
Responsibilities
- Direct a multidiscipline team delivering underground transmission line design and EPC programs
- Answer for budget, schedule, and quality across assigned underground transmission scope
- Serve as the main technical point of contact for clients, and support proposal work
- Review engineering deliverables and provide cross-discipline technical direction
- Produce plan-and-profile drawings and equipment specs for underground transmission projects
Requirements
- Engineering degree plus 5+ years designing underground transmission lines
- Prior ownership of EPC or design-only underground transmission work for US utility clients
- Working familiarity with CYMCAP and Pull Planner
- PE license highly preferred
Benefits
- Ownership of a specialised discipline most project managers never get this much of
- Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, employer-matched retirement, and tuition reimbursement
- An annual performance bonus on top of base pay
- Paid time off, and a flexible hybrid schedule after your first 90 days
- The backing of a Top-10 nationally ranked ENR power engineering firm
