Job Description
Position Overview
As a Staff Engineer, Transmission Engineering, Renewable Engineering you
will support the engineering and construction of cutting-edge
long-distance transmission lines, HVDC lines, and generation
interconnection transmission facilities for renewable energy projects.
You will be primarily responsible for managing conceptual project
designs and the engineering firms selected to complete final detailed
designs for projects to be built. Projects are located nationwide with
various challenges that will provide you with opportunities to
collaborate with experts in development, permitting, renewable
engineering, construction, and operations. Transmission systems for
these projects will utilize advanced technologies, focus on increasing
the reach of low-cost renewable energy, and enhance grid reliability.
Responsibilities
Engineering Design:
- Develop project designs that comply with critical owner and
interconnection requirements.
- Conduct thorough design reviews of drawings.
- Define the scope of required engineering studies/calculations
(electrical and civil) and review results for accuracy and
compliance.
- Track design schedules, update stakeholders, and ensure that
critical dates related to engineering tasks are met on time.
- Support project close out by organizing and transferring as-built
documentation to the final project owner including physical and
electrical drawings, schematics, bill of materials, engineering
studies/calculations, and relay settings.
Procurement and Construction Support:
- Review competitive bids for owner procured transmission, HVDC, and
other material. Support the purchasing of this equipment and manage
suppliers throughout the engineering and commissioning process.
- Monitor construction progress both remotely and via on-site
inspections and support resolution of any field issues. Attend
on-site meetings with construction contractors and in person
coordination meetings with interconnection utilities.
- Perform factory/equipment inspection and witness factory acceptance
testing for major materials.
Engineering Group Responsibilities:
- Assist in developing project specific construction, engineering, and
equipment specifications.
- Prepare and validate calculations related to electrical energy
including impedances and other line losses, electric and magnetic
fields, surface gradient, audible noise, thermal rating, and
conductor selection.
- Prepare and validate calculations related to transmission line
structural loading, foundation, hardware, and overhead wire (e.g.,
clearances, blowout, swing, etc.).
- Coordinate with independent engineers and project partners to
effectively navigate the technical due diligence process.
- Assist in the development of new projects by analyzing conceptual
designs and Requests for Proposal (RFP) specifications.
- Support early-stage transmission development by providing route
input, addressing landowner concerns, evaluating environmental and
construction impacts, etc.
- Coordinate with operations engineering to incorporate lessons
learned into new design reviews and specifications to continuously
improve quality.
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry technology through various
training sessions and confere ces.
Minimum Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited
college/university (Civil, Electrical, Power Systems, or Mechanical)
OR graduating with Bachelor's degree in engineering from an
accredited college/university (Civil, Electrical, Power Systems, or
Mechanical)by Fall 2024, Winter, 2024, Spring 2025, Summer 2025.
- 0-2+ years of professional experience, either through an internship
or full-time position
