About this role
About the Role Join Kiewit's Power Delivery team as an Overhead Transmission Engineer focused on engineering and design of overhead transmission systems from 12 kV to 500 kV, supporting utilities and energy clients on traditional engineering design and EPC-style execution. This role emphasizes robust, safe, and cost-effective transmission solutions through routing, structure loading, conductor selection, insulation coordination, and integration with civil, structural, and electrical engineering teams. What You'll Do
- Perform detailed engineering and analysis for overhead transmission lines, including structure loading, line routing, conductor selection, insulation coordination, and hardware specification.
- Develop and review design deliverables such as plan & profile drawings, structure loading trees, foundation loads, bill of materials, and construction packages.
- Use industry‑standard software (e.g., PLS‑CADD, PLS‑Pole/Tower, SAG10) to model and optimize transmission line designs.
- Support conceptual and feasibility studies by evaluating routing options, environmental constraints, constructability considerations, and cost impacts.
- Collaborate with civil, structural, and electrical engineering teams to ensure integrated and constructible designs.
- Participate in design reviews, quality checks, and risk assessments to ensure safe, reliable, and cost‑effective solutions.
- Provide engineering support during procurement and construction, including responding to RFIs, reviewing vendor data, and resolving field issues. What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical, Civil, or Structural Engineering.
- 5-7 years of experience with overhead transmission line design (utility, EPC, or consulting environment).
- Familiarity with PLS‑CADD and related transmission design tools.
- Understanding NESC, ASCE, and utility‑specific design standards.
- Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment.
- Interest in supporting projects from early conceptual design through construction.
