Transmission Engineer

A leading energy infrastructure owner and developer is seeking a Senior Transmission Engineer to support the development and execution of large-scale transmission infrastructure projects across North America.

This position is ideal for engineers who want to move beyond detailed design and take a more strategic role overseeing project development, engineering consultants, procurement activities, and project execution. The successful candidate will serve as the owner's technical representative, helping guide major transmission investments from early-stage development through construction.

The role offers exposure to high-profile transmission projects involving both overhead and underground systems, while working closely with engineering consultants, contractors, utilities, and internal project stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical oversight of transmission engineering consultants and external engineering partners.

• Review transmission line designs, studies, specifications, and engineering deliverables for quality, accuracy, and constructability.

• Evaluate engineering assumptions, challenge technical recommendations, and ensure project objectives are achieved.

• Support project development activities including routing evaluations, constructability reviews, cost estimating, and technical due diligence.

• Participate in contractor procurement efforts, bid evaluations, and scope development.

• Coordinate with utilities, engineering firms, contractors, permitting teams, and project stakeholders.

• Support transmission and substation infrastructure projects through development, engineering, construction, and commissioning phases.

• Review change orders, technical submittals, RFIs, and consultant deliverables.

• Assist with project budgeting, scheduling, risk identification, and execution planning.

• Travel to project sites as required to support project execution and stakeholder coordination.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.

• 7 years of experience supporting high-voltage transmission infrastructure projects.

• Experience with transmission line engineering and project execution.

• Understanding of overhead transmission systems.

• Experience reviewing engineering deliverables and coordinating with consultants or third-party engineering firms.

• Working knowledge of applicable transmission industry standards and codes.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced project environment.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with both overhead and underground transmission systems.

• Exposure to transmission voltages ranging from 230kV through 500kV.

• Experience supporting large utility, developer, EPC, engineering consulting, or infrastructure projects.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license or ability to obtain licensure.

• Familiarity with transmission and substation project development activities.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Work on large-scale transmission infrastructure projects with significant industry visibility.

• Gain direct exposure to owner-side project development and execution.

• Influence project strategy, engineering decisions, and consultant performance.

• Support projects across both development and construction phases.

• Join a growing team with a strong pipeline of transmission infrastructure projects.

• Competitive compensation, bonus potential, and long-term career growth opportunities.
