  • Provide limited after-hours/on-call support as needed during emergencies

Requirements:

  • Minimum 1 year of experience in utility construction, operations, engineering, or field project management
  • Strong understanding of overhead electric distribution work
  • Able to coordinate field activity across multiple job sites and teams
  • Clear communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills

  • Valid U.S. driver’s license and reliable transportation to field locations

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with utility GIS systems and redlining practices
  • Experience with pole installation and reading electric one-line diagrams
  • Prior work with electric distribution field assets or substations
  • Utility project management or outage planning experience
  • Prior working knowledge of SAP and Ariba
