Description
Job Description:
We are in search of Distribution Engineers for electric utility design engineering to join our diverse and fast-paced organization. This position can be largely REMOTE but candidates local to the Northeastern United States are preferred, as this role is based out of the greater Boston area.
Responsibilities
Project work will require performing engineering calculations that may include: structural analysis of poles, guying, cable pulling, electric demand, transformer sizing, voltage drop and flicker, and coordination of protective devices. Assignments may also include: preparing forestry trimming requests, facilitating permit and Right-of-Way acquisition, development of a BOM, estimating costs, and customer advocacy such as acquiring easements. Work assignments may include travelling by motor vehicle to various project locations located throughout the area to conduct field investigations. Some occasional time in our Framingham, MA office will be a part of this role.
The successful candidate will have an interest in developing construction work packages for the electric distribution system using various software systems and construction standards. Distribution systems may be in an OH, UG, or URD environment. Work packages will be developed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools, Work Management Systems (WMS), and other client systems.
Typical Day
