What You’ll Be Doing
VPS is currently seeking a Transmission and Distribution Designer. As a Transmission and Distribution Designer, you will work with VPS power company clients, facilitating their design and deployment of electric power distribution systems that meet their long-term goals. The types of projects may include multi-year, phased construction projects; grant applications with tight deadlines; and other initiatives. This position will work as a bridge between onsite boots-on-the-ground staff, contractors, and technical engineering plans, helping bring projects from concept to fruition under the guidance and direction of a licensed Professional Engineer (PE).
Successful candidates will be involved in all aspects of electric power distribution line design including basic engineering calculations, field data collection, physical design, electrical design, and the development of material lists. Assigned projects may include construction work plans, long range plans, planning studies, and sectionalizing studies for clients. Transmission and Distribution Designers can expect to communicate frequently with clients and vendors and work on multiple projects simultaneously.
The ideal candidate is organized, eager to learn, professional, and adaptable. Attention to detail and strong interpersonal communication skills are vital. The nature of the role requires a team player – meaning someone who can take ownership of assigned tasks, collaborate well with other members of the team, and proactively seeks to help team members push a project to the finish line. This position does not have supervisory responsibility.
