Transmission Line Engineer (Mid‐Level)
Atwell's Power & Energy group delivers utility‐scale overhead and underground transmission, substation, and renewable interconnections nationwide. We're hiring a mid‐level Transmission Line Engineer to take a technical lead on both OH and UG line design in a consulting/owner's‐engineer environment with utility clients.
What you'll do
* Own TL engineering deliverables from feasibility through IFC for overhead and underground: route selection, design criteria, calculations, structure/cable selections, and complete construction packages.
* Model & analyze overhead lines in PLS‐CADD/PLS‐POLE/TOWER for clearances, sag/tension, loading, galloping/ice/wind, ratings, and foundation reactions; generate staking sheets, plan/profile, and structure details.
* Engineer underground transmission: route & duct bank layouts, manhole/vault spacing, cable ampacity/thermal rating (e.g., IEC‐based methods), sheath bonding/grounding, pulling/tension calculations, HDD/trench details, thermal backfill specs, and splicing plans.
* Apply standards (e.g., NESC, ASCE methods for OHTL; IEC‐based ampacity/thermal methods and common utility standards for UGTL) and prepare sealed criteria, specs, and calc packages.
* Coordinate interfaces with substations (line terminals, dead‐ends, GIS/air‐insulated connections), civil/structural/geotech (e.g., L‐PILE/foundations, vault pads), environmental/permitting, and real estate/ROW.
* Support construction with RFIs, vendor/shop drawing reviews, outage/work packages, energization support, site walks, and as‐builts (OH and UG).
What you bring
* 6–10 years of transmission line engineering in a consulting or owner's‐engineer setting, covering both overhead and underground (utility client experience is a strong plus).
* Bachelor's in Electrical or Civil/Structural Engineering (or related). PE preferred; EIT required if not licensed.
* Proficiency with PLS‐CADD/POLE/TOWER for OHTL; familiarity with UGTL analysis and typical tools/workflows for ampacity/thermal rating, cable pulling, and duct‐bank design (e.g., CYMCAP or equivalent a plus).
* Demonstrated application of NESC and ASCE methods for OHTL; working knowledge of UG cable systems (XLPE/HV cables, bonding/grounding, joints/terminations, vault/manhole design, HDD/trench details).
* Strong writing and client‐facing communication; ability to lead technical meetings, defend design decisions, and drive multi‐disciplinary coordination.
Nice to have
* Underground transmission specialties (thermal backfill characterization, sheath loss mitigation, link box layouts).
* Experience with line‐terminal design inside substations, bus work, and equipment connections.
* Familiarity with environmental/permitting/ROW constraints and constructability reviews for both OH and UG.
