Work Assignment Requirements:
Assignments that the CLRA Overhead Lines Engineer would support would include, but not be limited to:
1. Transmission Line Asset Transfers from customers electing to design and build an interconnecting transmission line with the intention of transferring the asset to company. This is a fast-paced, customer-facing, multi-disciplinary and highly demanding portfolio requiring a highly initiative and proactive engineer who can effectively balance technical and stakeholder requirements and constraints and has strong business acumen and communication and facilitation skills.
2. Transmission Line Relocations from customers needing to relocate our T Lines asset to accommodate their proposed developments such as residential building, new infrastructure such as pipeline or highway and modification of existing infrastructure such as pipeline twinning or highway widening. This is a highly variable portfolio as the magnitude and pace are primarily driven by the customer. The work may be in a dense urban environment comprising of many stakeholders and physical constraints. Engineering may be delivered through a combination of internal engineering and external service providers whose work will need to be coordinated and reviewed (by company Owner's Engineers).
3. Complex Sustainment Programs. A subset of otherwise low-complexity high-volume sustainment programs may be complex due to specific site conditions, special design components, stakeholder sensitivities, complex construction staging, etc. Those complexities will require an Overhead Lines Engineer to assess for complexity, come up with an engineering delivery plan to address the complex design components and execute that plan in concert with the Program Manager while minding the overall program schedule, scope, and budget.
4. Emergency Restorations. The Overhead Lines Engineer may be called upon to lead a team of multi-disciplinary engineers to respond to field crews' engineering support needs during emergency restoration works (in response to events such as wildfires, avalanches, erosions, etc.). The ability to work well under pressure and the ability to facilitate quick analysis and decisions are key.

The assignment will be done in accordance with company's pertinent standards and practices and in collaboration with company's internal engineering teams and stakeholders.
Additional Role Requirements:
• High proficiency in PLS-CADD
Preferences:
• Working knowledge of company Transmission Engineering Overhead Lines Standards and Design Practices is an asset
• Project Engineering experience coordinating multi-disciplinary engineering teams is an asset
