Job Overview & Description
We are seeking a highly experienced Transmission Line Principal Engineer to lead and manage the design of high-voltage transmission line projects supporting wind, solar, and battery energy storage initiatives, as well as standalone transmission projects.
This role is part of the Engineering & Construction (E&C) group and is responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of transmission line design—from early-stage conceptual development through construction and commissioning.

- One-line and three-line diagrams
- Plan & profile drawings
- General arrangement drawings
- Willingness to travel across North America.
Preferred Qualifications
