The listing
Leidos is seeking a Transmission Line Engineer to join our dynamic and exciting EPC Solutions Team. You'll design overhead and underground transmission systems for major developer and utility clients — real projects, real construction dates, real impact on how power moves across the country. And you won't be doing it alone in a corner: this team runs on close collaboration across engineering disciplines, with a PE mentor invested in helping you grow into the next stage of your career.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Design & Analysis — Model and analyze transmission structures using PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, and PLS-TOWER, applying NESC, ASCE, ACI, IEEE, and related standards
- Project Development — Support projects from conceptual routing and engineering analysis through material procurement and construction-ready packages, through as-builts and project close-out
- Cross-Discipline Collaboration — Work alongside designers and engineers from other disciplines, plus project management teams, to keep designs moving toward the field
- Client Interface — Participate in client-facing project work, building the communication skills that set senior engineers apart
- Technical Growth — Work under the direct guidance of a licensed PE, with increasing ownership of design decisions as your judgment develops
Key Responsibilities:
- Perform structure spotting and transmission line design in PLS-CADD to verify conductor clearances and loading under NESC or GO95
- Design and analyze steel, wood, concrete, or fiberglass transmission structures using PLS-POLE, including structure selection and loading verification
- Underbuild/joint-use or attachment analysis, when required
- Perform foundation design or analysis for direct-embed and drilled-pier structures in MFAD or LPILE
- Prepare construction packages, including creating the basis of design, plan and profiles, staking sheets, bill of materials, structure data sheets, alignment maps, stringing charts, steel packages, foundation drawings, etc.
- Coordinate with the Construction prime on material procurement, material specs, and constructability
- Perform conductor selection and EMF studies
- Attend field walks and constructability reviews as needed
- Support proposal/estimating efforts
What You Bring (Required Qualifications):
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil, Structural, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering
- 2+ years of relevant experience in electric utility transmission line design
- Proficiency in both PLS-CADD and PLS-POLE
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work independently while staying plugged into a team
- Candidates must be located in the United States to be considered
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with TOWER
- EIT certification (or actively pursuing)
- Exposure to FAD, Mathcad, AutoCAD or MicroStation, LPILE, or GIS tools
- Familiarity with Bentley ProjectWise
Why This Team:
- Mentorship that matters — direct PE supervision means real technical guidance, not just sign-offs
- Room to grow — clear path toward independent design ownership, EIT/PE milestones, and eventually leading your own scopes
- Genuine cross-training — early exposure to structural and construction considerations most engineers don't see until much later
- Work that ships — your designs become physical infrastructure, not shelved deliverables
