Full-time | Negotiable | Advanced (5-10 yrs)
Primary Responsibilities
In collaboration with marketing and technical staff, develop, lead and/or oversee technical aspects of transmission line AD proposals, including risk analysis and mitigation, preliminary routing and design, contractor bill‑of‑material takeoff support, and HDR scope, schedule and budget development with a focus on activities and risks unique to AD projects (e.g. procurement support, construction support, critical path scheduling, etc.). While this individual’s primary focus will be leading transmission line teams, coordination with land survey, geotechnical, distribution, substation, environmental, real estate and GIS staff is also expected.
In collaboration with engineering and design teams, review AD project intel, opportunities and RFPs to evaluate technical and commercial project risk and estimate technical investments prior to the Go/No‑Go discussion. Risk evaluation will be shared with commercial, business development and operations leaders to determine if/how to pursue opportunities.
Interfacing with construction contractors and HDR subconsultants during pursuit and project while driving conversations on risk identification and mitigation.
Assist in Go/No‑Go discussions, project risk assessments, SOQs, proposals, interviews and negotiations as required.

Serve in project technical leadership roles, including engineering manager, discipline lead, technical advisor, or other. Focus on FEED development and standing‑up project teams while performing ongoing technical risk analysis to determine handoff points.
Understand technical risks for all transmission line AD projects and implement measures to mitigate those risks (e.g. assigning technical expertise, adding QA/QC measures, subcontracting). Direct engineering and design development may be required.
Develop templates, standards, specifications, drawings, processes and procedures to support transmission line AD pursuits and projects (design/model templates, bill‑of‑material templates, foundation standards, scope templates, budget templates, schedule templates, etc.) and maintain a database. Provide AD best‑practice guidance to pursuit and delivery teams.
