• Lead the design and engineering execution of medium to high voltage overhead and underground transmission projects, from conceptual engineering through to construction completion.

• Lead capital project development including feasibility studies, project scope definitions, capital cost estimates, and preliminary and detailed engineering designs.

• Interpret codes, standards and client requirements in the creation of optimized design criteria documents.

• Oversee and produce accurate PLS-CADD / TOWER / POLE models that represent the project conditions and requirements.

• Develop scopes of work, material specifications, and construction specifications to support the overall execution of projects.

• Ensure peer reviews are completed, checking and sealing processes, and contribute to internal engineering standards, templates and work practices.

• Review and seal final design prints.

• Manage and track cost and schedule of engineering deliverables, monitor team utilization, and report progress, risks and forecasts to senior management as required.

• Act as a technical point of contact for clients on assigned projects, maintaining strong relationships and identifying further opportunities.

• Participate in technical meetings with other disciplines, contractors, or customers.

• Perform site investigations and field reviews when required.
