ExecuPOWER is hiring a Utility QA/QC Transmission Line Engineer to review high-voltage overhead transmission line models, design packages, and foundation documents. The role ensures civil and structural deliverables meet client criteria, utility standards, and safety codes, while supporting design work and guiding junior staff.

Responsibilities:

• Model and Data Review: Perform exhaustive technical reviews of PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, and TOWER models to verify terrain data, design criteria, sag-tension calculations, and clearance tables
• Quality Control Audits: Validate structure loading, span lengths, wind/ice criteria, and foundation interaction inputs against project specifications. Experience developing QA/QC programs (criteria, checklists, etc.) is preferred
• Design Package Verification: Review complete construction packages?including plan and profile drawings, structure assembly drawings, hardware lists, and stringing charts?for constructability, accuracy, and completeness
• Perform PLS-CADD and project design tasks as needed to support overall project portfolio
• Standards Enforcement: Establish, update, and enforce internal QA/QC procedures, checklists, and workflows aligned with evolving utility best practices
• Mentorship & Collaboration: Interface directly with project managers, lead design engineers, and client stakeholders, providing technical guidance and training to junior staff on modeling accuracy via collaborative virtual or in-person environments
• Non-Conformance Tracking: Document design discrepancies, issue structural/model correction notices, and track resolutions prior to final design sign-off

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program
• 6+ years of progressive experience in high-voltage overhead electric transmission line design (69kV to 500kV+) with a dedicated focus on engineering quality control
• Advanced proficiency in PLS-CADD and PLS-POLE/TOWER, with a strong grasp of criteria file setup and optimization
• Demonstrated experience designing and reviewing direct embedment, drilled piers foundations utilizing Fadtools MFAD (moment foundation analysis) and/or Ensoft L-Pile (lateral load p-y analysis) software packages
• Thorough comprehension of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and relevant ASCE/IEEE standards
• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license preferred
• the immediate capability to obtain licensure via comity
