    Description
    POWER DISTRIBUTION & MAKE-READY DESIGNER (FIELD + DESIGN HYBRID)
    Overhead Utility Pole Design | Joint-Use Engineering | Field Data Collection
    Location: Remote (U.S.)
    Primary Field Focus: Oklahoma City and Surrounding Areas
    ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
    We are seeking an experienced Power Distribution / Make-Ready Designer who is comfortable owning the full lifecycle of utility pole design, from field data collection and walkouts through construction-ready engineering deliverables.
    This role is ideal for designers who prefer to personally verify field conditions, understand how real-world infrastructure impacts design decisions, and want to reduce handoff gaps between field and design teams.
    Candidates must have prior experience in overhead utility pole design and NESC-compliant make-ready or power distribution engineering. This is not an entry-level or field-only role.
    This position is remote but requires regular local fieldwork within the assigned territory, with occasional overnight travel as needed.
    Applicants without prior experience in utility pole design or power distribution engineering will not be considered.
    Note: New hires are required to attend a 2-week paid, in-person onboarding and training at our Perrysburg, Ohio headquarters.
    WHAT YOU WILL DO
    Field Data Collection and Walkouts

    • Perform utility pole walkouts and field surveys to collect accurate attachment, clearance, and structural data
    • Verify pole ownership, attachment types, heights, spans, guying, and equipment in the field
    • Conduct kickoff or scope meetings as needed and document existing conditions
    • Capture photos, measurements, GPS data, and field notes to support design decisions
    • Research right-of-way, easements, permitting constraints, and property ownership
    Design and Engineering
    • Execute overhead distribution and make-ready designs in compliance with NESC and client standards
    • Evaluate field conditions and determine make-ready requirements, attachment rearrangements, and pole replacements
    • Perform pole loading analysis and clearance resolution
    • Develop complete, construction-ready design packages
    • Perform end-to-end joint-use and/or general distribution design
    • Use design platforms such as DDS, AutoCAD, MicroStation, Katapult, O-Calc, GIS, or utility-specific systems
    • Collaborate with engineering, project management, and quality teams
    • Perform or support quality control reviews as required
    TOP COMPETENCIES AND SKILLS
    Make-Ready Engineering, Power Distribution Design, Utility Pole Walkouts, Field Data Collection, Joint-Use Design, Pole Loading Analysis, NESC Compliance, Overhead Distribution, Utility Pole Attachments, Right-of-Way and Permitting, Construction-Ready Design, DDS, GIS for Utility Design, CAD for Utility Design, Aerial Design, Utility Coordination
    Requirements
    WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
    • High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree or higher in engineering, drafting, or a related field preferred
    • Minimum 2 years of experience in make-ready engineering, joint-use design, or power distribution design (3+ years strongly preferred)
    • Demonstrated experience performing utility pole walkouts and field data collection specifically to support design work
    • Proven experience applying NESC standards, clearance analysis, and pole loading concepts
    • Proficiency with CAD or MicroStation; strong preference for experience with DDS, Katapult, O-Calc, or similar utility design platforms
    • Strong understanding of overhead power distribution construction practices
    • Ability to work independently in the field and translate field conditions into accurate designs
    • Valid driver's license, active auto insurance, and ability to pass background, drug, and motor vehicle screenings
    • Authorization to work in the United States
    • Willingness to perform regular local fieldwork with occasional overnight travel
    • Ability to work a Monday-Friday schedule aligned to Central Time, with flexibility for local field needs.
    PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
    • Ability to work extended periods using a computer for design and documentation
    • Ability to perform fieldwork, including driving, walking long distances, navigating uneven terrain, and working near roadways
    • Ability to lift and carry equipment weighing up to approximately 40 pounds
    • Visual acuity sufficient for field inspection, measurement, and design review
    • Ability to communicate effectively in both field and office environments
