About this role
About the Role This position sits in the Transmission Design Basis Department and provides technical leadership, standards development, and engineering guidance specifically for transmission line assets. The role collaborates with design engineering, asset management, construction, procurement, vendors, and field personnel to establish and maintain line-related standards, design basis documents, templates, and construction guidance that support safe, reliable, and cost-effective transmission infrastructure. What You'll Do
- Review and analyze transmission line standards issues identified by engineering teams, construction, and field operations; recommend solutions and lead cross-functional teams to update line design standards, structure libraries, plan & profile documentation, and material specifications.
- Develop subject matter expertise on transmission line standard drawings, loading criteria, PLS-CADD structure libraries, conductor/OPGW specifications, and application philosophies.
- Create and revise standard documents, catalog IDs, stock codes, and standard drawings specifically for transmission line assets.
- Review vendor drawings and technical specifications for structures, foundations, conductor systems, hardware, and other line components.
- Maintain the Transmission Design Basis SharePoint site and ensure current versions of line standards, guidance documents, and engineering directives are available.
- Apply engineering principles, industry standards (ASCE, NESC, IEEE), and internal design practices to develop high‑quality, cost‑effective line design guidance.
- Support engineering design, construction, and maintenance activities by providing technical interpretation of design basis documents and standards.
- Support compliance activities related to industry standards and reliability organizations (NERC, SERC) where line assets are involved.
- Participate in and support technical consortia, research groups, and universities on topics relevant to transmission line engineering and standards development.
- Conduct change‑management sessions for stakeholders on updates to line standards or lessons learned from design and construction activities.
- Assist with storm/emergency restoration by providing engineering support as necessary.
