OHL Engineer

Overview

Lead the detailed design and delivery of overhead transmission line projects (HV, EHV and UHV), acting as the client-facing technical lead for the work.

What you'll do

• Perform detailed engineering and design of overhead transmission lines at HV, EHV and UHV voltage levels.
• Develop transmission line models using PLS-CADD, covering route selection and optimization, sag-tension calculations, clearance analysis, structure spotting, and material and construction reports.
• Conduct structural analysis and design of transmission line structures using PLS-TOWER for lattice steel towers and PLS-POLE for steel, concrete and composite poles.
• Evaluate and apply loading criteria in accordance with applicable standards such as ASCE, IEC, IS, NESC, CSA, ECCS or utility-specific requirements.
• Review and optimize structure loading, member utilization and structural adequacy.
• Prepare and review design deliverables including design reports, structure loading trees, sag-tension reports, tower schedules, stringing charts and material take-offs (MTOs).
• Coordinate with foundation, civil, geotechnical and survey teams to ensure design compatibility.
• Support proposal development, estimation and technical bid evaluations.
• Perform design checks and peer reviews to ensure compliance with quality standards and project requirements.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers.
• Interface with clients, utilities and project stakeholders for design reviews and technical discussions.
