Civil Engineer III/Senior
The Civil Engineer III / Senior in Transmission Development provides advanced technical engineering, design, economic, and analytical support to facilitate the development of long-range transmission system plans. This role participates in the preparation and execution of engineering requests, proposals, and presentations, contributing directly to key infrastructure and planning initiatives. The engineer performs complex tasks requiring proficiency in engineering principles and methods, with growing responsibility for technical decisions, interpretations, and project outcomes. This position also offers technical leadership and mentorship to junior staff, ensuring high-quality results and adherence to standards across engineering deliverables. Strong analytical skills, initiative, and the ability to work independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team are essential. This role may require occasional shift work based on operational needs. Minimum Requirements
Engineer III: A four-year Bachelors degree in an engineering discipline or related applied science discipline from an ABET accredited institution, an International Engineering Alliance (IEA) recognized institution or an ABET Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) plus five (5) years working experience in Engineering-related positions. Engineer Senior: A four-year Bachelors degree in an engineering discipline or related applied science discipline from an ABET accredited institution, an International Engineering Alliance (IEA) recognized institution or an ABET Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) plus eight (8) years working experience in Engineering-related positions. Approved Engineer degrees: Materials Science/Metallurgy, Physics, Chemistry, Nuclear, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Electronics, Computer Science, Environmental, Chemical, Structural. (A four-year bachelor of Engineering Technology degree is not considered an automatic equivalent for a B.S. degree in Engineering. A review of the degree program curriculum must be completed by Engineering department management.) Preferred Special Skills, Knowledge or Qualifications: Civil/Structural Engineering Degree. Experience in structural loading analysis using O-Calc or other similar software programs. Ability to apply good construction, operating and engineering practices while adhering to the APS safety rules and company policies. Good oral and written communications skills. Major Accountabilities
1) Prepares engineering plans, designs, analysis, specifications, cost estimates, evaluations, studies, technical reviews, investigations and verifications. Complies with design, regulatory, operating and maintenance requirements. Ensures engineering analyses, design, project control, schedule commitments, or oversight work is technically sound, cost effective, and in compliance with established standards, codes, and regulations. Checks and reviews analysis, evaluations, and investigations of others. 2) Interfaces with customers and other departments to ensure project objectives are understood and that work scope meets customer requirements, budget and schedule. Contacts customers and various levels of management to obtain or present technical data. Presents the results of designs, studies projects (in terms of new techniques) or approaches to subordinates, colleagues, management and customers. 3) Enhances department performance and productivity and/or unit performance by formulating, coordinating, performing analysis and making recommendations for improvements. Provides technical assistance and guidance to department personnel to enhance department performance and productivity. 4) May provide oversight of engineering technical programs by managing the program requirements, working with cross organizational partners, reviewing and internalizing operating experience and coordinating corrective actions to ensure engineering program elements continue to remain healthy. 5) May assume responsibility for small- to medium-scale projects which include planning, designing, scheduling and coordinating all facets of the project. Identifies potential schedule or quality problems and initiates corrective action. Takes initiative to eliminate barriers and uses resources to ensure desired results. May interface with outside agencies and regulatory authorities. 6) Provides technical guidance and leadership to less experienced engineers. 7) May participate in developing long-range strategies for significant site problems. 8) Provides input to projects and recommends modifications to increase operating efficiency and/or reviews design and documentation of projects to ensure compliance with design specifications, schedules and any regulatory requirements. 9) Remains cognizant of current technology and engineering developments as well as industry and competitive developments.
