Principal Transmission Line Engineer I VIC

As a Principal Transmission Line Engineer, this role provides the leadership opportunity across the design and delivery of transmission line work packages for high voltage and grid scale design projects, with the opportunity to work on projects throughout Victoria, across Australia, and globally across AECOM’s locations.

In this position, you will play a key leadership role setting up and delivering the approach across engineering design, technical assurance, and project delivery, adapting design requirements across client, project, site location, climatic, and differing engineering standards for high voltage utility scale projects. You will be responsible for ensuring the delivery of high-quality and best practice work packages and projects aligned to appropriate standards.

This role provides the scope to grow your career within an established Transmission, Distribution and related Energy teams, building on your extensive technical expertise in the design of transmission, distribution, structural (pole and lattice tower), and related projects. You will be able to lead the delivery of work packages for projects from initiation to completion across technical, design, project delivery as well as providing technical support and mentoring to others in the team. This is your opportunity to provide technical direction across multidisciplinary teams, guide project delivery across complex work packages, shape technical standards, and provide mentoring to develop the next generation of Transmission Line Engineers.  Through this, you will have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on critical transmission and related major energy infrastructure projects as part of the energy transition.

How you’ll make a difference:

• Leading the approach and providing transmission line engineering, designs, calculations, reviews and technical advisory support to meet project technical requirements with a focus across focus across transmission route and structural (tower and pole) related design requirements.
• Supporting and leading project delivery excellence through leading work packages, arranging technical verification tasks are completed, working within AECOM’s technical standards and processes.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across transmission, distribution, and related engineering disciplines (including structural and civil), to deliver innovative and technically outstanding solutions.
• Build and maintain client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor on transmission line design work packages ensuring high-quality communication and service.
• Collaborating and raising design queries contributing to problem solving across the range of technical engineering disciplines at AECOM, including with technical, design and delivery teams based locally in Melbourne, across other AECOM Australia offices, in New Zealand, and globally.
• Applying your software and design tool abilities across the PLS-CADD platform (including CADD, Tower and Pole applications) both as a key design user, through verification and mentoring of others designs. 
• Work with the current local team, and with teams based in other office locations, to help mentor graduate and early-stage career engineers, developing their transmission related technical, design and project abilities.
