Distribution Designer

About the role

This role focuses on supporting utility power distribution design and reliability work for a major energy client in Pennsylvania. You will perform office-based distribution engineering and design tasks, starting with corrective work on existing infrastructure and progressing to more complex make-ready and low-voltage distribution projects.

Responsibilities

• Support utility distribution engineering and design work for infrastructure in Pennsylvania from an office-based environment, with no field work required.
• Perform design and analysis for ESS4 work, where field personnel have identified infrastructure components in need of repair, and finalize associated work orders.
• Use the DDS design platform to create and update distribution design packages in alignment with client standards and project requirements.
• Utilize Crews, the client’s version of SAP, to complete, track, and manage work orders and related project documentation.
• Progressively take on make-ready design work, coordinating and preparing designs to ensure existing infrastructure is ready for new installations or upgrades.
• Eventually perform low-voltage distribution (LVD) design tasks, supporting reliability and capacity improvements in the power delivery network.
• Collaborate with internal engineering, construction services, site development, and utility energy teams to ensure accurate, timely, and compliant project deliverables.
• Apply sound engineering judgment to power distribution and distribution design engineering tasks, maintaining high standards of safety and reliability.
• Maintain organized records of design work, work orders, and project status within DDS and Crews systems.
• Participate in ongoing training and development to expand knowledge of utility distribution design, industry standards, and client-specific processes.
• Contribute to a growing utility energy division by supporting new contracts and service agreements with multiple utility companies throughout the Midwest.

Requirements

• Experience or education in electrical engineering, power distribution, or related engineering disciplines.
• Ability to perform or learn distribution design and distribution design engineering tasks for utility power delivery systems.
• Capability to learn and use DDS as the primary design software for distribution design packages.
• Capability to learn and use Crews, the client’s SAP-based system, to complete and manage work orders.
• Understanding or ability to quickly learn concepts related to power delivery, make-ready design, and low-voltage distribution work.
• Strong analytical skills to review field findings, perform design analysis, and finalize work orders accurately.
• Ability to work on-site at least three days per week in a designated office location and transition to partial remote work after training is complete.
• Effective communication skills to collaborate with engineering teams and utility clients.
• Attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, compliant, and reliable design documentation.
