We're partnered with a highly respected, fast-growing engineering consultancy that's built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality transmission and distribution solutions across the U.S. This is a people-first organization where engineers are supported, given flexibility, and trusted to do their best work.
They're currently looking to bring on a Transmission & Distribution Engineering Manager to lead a team supporting utility line design projects.
