We're excited to share that we are hiring a Transmission Line Design Engineer.

Job Description:

An exciting opportunity currently exists for a "Transmission Line Design Engineer" within the Project Development - Lines & Civil Engineering Department at AltaLink. Reporting to the Manager, Lines & Civil Engineering.

The successful candidate will lead the design, engineering, project development and technical delivery of high voltage transmission line facilities across AltaLink's transmission line network, from early scoping and conceptual development through detailed design, construction support, close-out and final acceptance. The individual will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to ensure line modifications, line rebuilds, customer interconnections, greenfield transmission line projects and urgent restoration work are designed and supported with a high level of quality, safety, constructability and customer service.

The position requires senior-level expertise in project scoping, design, implementation, technical decision-making, construction support and final acceptance. The role also requires the ability to coordinate multi-stakeholder design inputs, manage design changes, support external EPC and contractor resources, and provide clear technical direction under tight project or field response timelines. As a senior designer on the team, the individual will provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers. This includes supporting technical development, coaching, design review, and knowledge transfer for emerging engineers and EITs. This position will appeal to individuals looking to apply extensive transmission line design experience and leadership talents in a dynamic utility environment.

Responsibilities:

Prepare detailed calculations, studies, bills of material and design packages for transmission line capital, customer, Direct Assign and system projects
Prepare PLS-CADD models for design package development and existing line clearance evaluations
Complete line design packages for all AltaLink transmission voltage classes, including 69kV, 138kV, 240kV and 500kV assets, including rebuilds, modifications, greenfield lines, customer interconnections and emergency restoration work
Lead preliminary line design, route and structure option development, constructability review, material selection and design change resolution for complex transmission projects
Apply base geotechnical knowledge when developing line designs, including understanding soil classifications, borehole/geotechnical investigation outputs, groundwater/bedrock considerations, soil strength/deformation behaviour, frost depth, corrosivity data and backfill requirements as they relate to transmission line foundation selection and constructability
Support transmission line foundation design decisions for direct-embed poles, drilled shafts/caissons, screw/helical/bucket piles, driven piles, micro-piles, grillage and pad/footing applications, including review of compression, uplift, shear and moment reactions
Coordinate with geotechnical consultants, civil/foundation designers, project managers, construction resources and pile/foundation contractors to define geotechnical scope, review investigation results and resolve foundation design or installation risks
Consider foundation risk mitigation during design and construction support, including cave-in/sloughing risk, high groundwater, shallow bedrock, gravel/boulder interference, casing/culvert needs, washed gravel/backfill selection and impacts to schedule, cost, safety and reliability
Provide timely and effective technical input to support the Project Development and Execution teams
Develop scope descriptions for project estimating and provide clear implementation direction to internal designers, external engineering consultants, EPC contractors, construction resources and field crews
Review and/or approve technical drawings and specifications submitted by internal designers or contractors to ensure each project meets acceptable standards for operability, functionality, maintainability, reliability, durability and safety
Support construction execution and project close-out by resolving field questions, material issues, redline updates, design clarifications and as-built/return-data requirements
Support engineering standards development, design practice improvements and application of current or historical code requirements, including AEUC, CSA and applicable ISO reliability requirements
Provide subject matter support for line optimization, line rating, thermal rating, reconductoring assessments, facility applications, information requests and regulatory/hearing support as required
Contribute to material governance, supplier engagement, technical specifications, procurement support and emergency spare/material strategy for transmission line assets
Build and maintain effective working relationships with suppliers, external technical engineering resources, construction resources, customers and other stakeholders that results in growing understanding, good decisions and effective cooperation
Report on project engineering status to Project Managers and the Engineering Manager
Mentor junior engineers, EITs and designers through technical coaching, design reviews, knowledge sharing and support toward professional development
Provide leadership support within the team as required, including coordination of team deliverables, technical prioritization and coverage for management or project leadership needs
Maintain competency with current industry standards and regulatory groups such as AEUC, CSA and ISO Rules
Demonstrate key behaviors and meet identified expectations outlined in our four cultural pillars - one team, continuous improvement, customer focus and personal accountability
