Description:
Fully competent engineer in all conventional aspects of structural engineering subject matter. Makes decisions and recommendations having considerable impact on engineering, design, environmental, and field operations. Applies diversified knowledge of engineering principles and practices to a broad variety of electrical transmission and substation structure designs and modifications to support projects with recommendations including calculations, drawings, specifications, standards, and procedures. Responsible for selection of material for Transmission & Substation projects with consideration to sound engineering principles, performance, regulatory compliance, reliability, safety, and lowest life cycle cost. Directly applies knowledge of structural analysis, structural steel design, reinforced concrete design, prestressed concrete design, and wood design. Requires use of advanced techniques, modification and extension of theories, and precepts and practices. Makes decisions independently and within team environments accounting for engineering complexities and methods. Models and promotes safety concepts and behavior. Acts as a technical liaison and provide training for engineering and operational personnel within their areas of expertise. Actively demonstrates corporate values by being committed to excellence, doing the right thing, and treating people with respect.

Responsibilities:
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Analyze structures for complex loading conditions from wire, equipment, wind, seismic, ice, electrical, thermal and dynamic loads.
Execute assignments that include investigating, trouble-shooting, root-cause evaluation, and problem solving including structural failure analysis.
Assist in project planning, organization and implementation of projects as a technical expert in structural engineering discipline.
Perform advanced engineering tasks of a complex nature in design, operation, and maintenance of projects to ensure safe, reliable and cost effective facilities.
Perform in-depth technical and economic evaluations of designs, studies, bids and specifications for projects.
Respond to unplanned transmission system events and performs initial assessments and troubleshooting, and occasional coordination of needed resources to return equipment to service.
Create and update engineering process and practices; maintain proper engineering files and records.
Develop tools and training to assist transmission and substation engineers in structural designs.
Perform independent reviews of work performed by others (e.g. 3rd party consultants) including calculations and drawing preparation.
Manage multiple projects and deliver structural designs on time, coordinating with other engineering groups, operations, and contractors in designs as needed.
Support field construction with technical and design expertise as needed.
