  • Prepare construction drawings, staking sheets, bills of materials, work orders, and supporting documentation using AutoCAD, MicroStation, GIS, and other utility design software.
  • Perform comprehensive Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) reviews of distribution design packages to ensure compliance with utility standards, company procedures, client requirements, and engineering best practices.
  • Review designs prepared by junior designers, verifying the accuracy of field data, construction drawings, bills of materials, pole loading, and design documentation prior to client submission.
  • Identify design discrepancies, recommend corrective actions, and ensure deliverables meet quality, constructability, and safety standards.
  • Coordinate with engineers, project managers, field personnel, construction teams, and utility stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Participate in client design review meetings and provide technical expertise during project execution.
  • Mentor and train junior designers on utility standards, overhead distribution design practices, QA/QC procedures, and company workflows.
  • Assist with project planning, schedule development, scope definition, and cost estimating.
  • Maintain accurate project documentation, design revisions, and engineering records throughout all phases of the project.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to improve design quality, consistency, and workflow efficiency.

Qualifications
  • Associate degree in Engineering Technology, Drafting, or a related technical field preferred. Equivalent utility distribution design experience will also be considered.
  • 5+ years of experience designing electric utility distribution systems with a strong emphasis on overhead distribution.
  • Proven experience supporting pole replacement programs.
