Redefine your personal best.

Are you an experienced Transmission Line or Overhead Line (OHL) Engineer interested in working within a successful and progressive engineering consultancy within the global Energy & Resources sector?

If so, then we have a great opportunity for you to take on real responsibility for delivering OHL and other projects within our Transmission & Distribution division (part of the ‘Energy & Resources’ division of Stantec). The role can be based in Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London or Newcastle – with Stantec’s commitment to hybrid working allowing a combination between office and home working.

As an Overhead Line Engineer within our team you will take the lead on OHL projects and project deliverables – producing and reviewing technical documents in line with industry standards. It is a varied role that will see you involved in the development of design criteria, conductor selection, structure type selection, insulation coordination and lightning performance. You will lead on the development of typical OHL design deliverables – including line schedules, plan/profile drawings, staking tables and special crossings design.

Providing support and mentoring for others within the team will be an important part of the role – contributing to an environment where everyone feels supported and able to play their part in successful project delivery.
