This is an excellent entry‑level opportunity for a self‑directed individual who is eager to learn and take on new challenges.
The primary duties of a
Transmission Line EIT / Transmission Designer
include preparation of engineering drawings, calculations, analyses, reports and designs for high‑voltage transmission lines under the direction and supervision of more senior engineers and designers.
Duties may include:
Perform structural analysis and design of steel structures, foundations, and support systems in compliance with applicable codes (ASCE, ACI, AISC, IEEE, NESC).

Work with Designers and CAD Technicians to develop construction drawings in accordance with national design standards, safety codes and project specifications and requirements.
Assist with preparing cost estimates or specifications.
Participate in field reviews or construction observation.
Typical designs include structure design, structure spotting, conductor sag and blowout calculations, foundation design, hardware selection and fit‑up, and development of bill of materials. Designs must also consider environmental permitting, right‑of‑way acquisition, public involvement, access roads, and construction requirements.
Occasional short‑term travel (typically 1‑5 days) may be necessary. Longer term (several weeks) assignments may be required infrequently on project assignments.
