This opportunity is best suited for an engineer with ~5 years of experience and strong PLS-CADD proficiency, looking to work on technically engaging transmission projects with a flexible, hybrid work environment.

The Role

As a Transmission Engineer, you will play a hands-on role in the design and execution of overhead transmission line projects. You will be involved in detailed engineering, structure replacement programs, and full package preparation, working closely with a highly technical and collaborative team.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare engineering design packages, drawings, and technical documentation
• Collaborate with internal engineers and project teams on design coordination

• Assist in maintaining quality and consistency across design deliverables

Qualifications & Experience

• 5~ years of experience in transmission line engineering or related fields
• Strong proficiency in PLS-CADD (required)
• Experience working on utility projects (experience with a major provincial utility is a strong asset)
• P.Eng. designation 
• Experience with PLS-Tower, SpidaCalc, Passport, and/or BCH DAD is a strong asset but not required
• Ability to perform technical hands-on design work (not purely review-focused roles)
• Strong understanding of overhead line design, standards, and practices

Who You Are

• A technically strong engineer who enjoys hands-on design work
• Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, engineering-focused environment
• Adaptable and able to manage multiple projects in a dynamic setting

Work Environment & Benefits

• Vacation: 3 weeks (negotiable for senior candidates)
• Benefits: 75% coverage initially, increasing to 100% after 5 years
• RPP matching: Starting at 4% after 2 years, with increases over time
