Technical Leadership:
Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and training to junior engineers and project teams, fostering professional development and knowledge sharing within the organization.
Regulatory Compliance:
Ensure that transmission line designs comply with relevant industry standards (e.g., ASCE, IEEE, NESC), environmental regulations, permitting requirements, and grid connection guidelines.
Client Interaction:
Collaborate with clients, consultants, and regulatory authorities to address technical inquiries, review project specifications, and provide engineering support during project execution.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degree or specialized training in transmission line design is preferred.
Extensive experience (typically 8+ years) in transmission line engineering, with a focus on high-voltage transmission projects for utility or engineering consulting firms.
Strong expertise in transmission line design software such as PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, TOWER, or similar tools for modeling, analysis, and optimization.
Proficiency in structural analysis software (e.g., STAAD.Pro, SAP2000) for tower design, foundation design, and structural integrity assessments.
In-depth knowledge of industry standards and codes related to transmission line design, construction, and environmental considerations (e.g., NESC, IEC, ANSI, ASCE).
Project management skills, including the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage project budgets, timelines, and deliverables, and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and decision-making skills, with attention to detail and accuracy in engineering calculations, designs, and documentation.
