Lead Engineer- Transmission Lines at AECOM2

We are seeking a Lead Engineer- Transmission Lines to join our Transmission & Distribution team in India. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated engineer to contribute to impactful Energy projects across the globe and continue developing their technical expertise in a supportive, high-performing team. Your primary focus in the role of Lead OHL Engineer is to provide project technical support and responsible for design of transmission projects. This team will work on various projects encompassing overhead transmission lines up to 800kV. • Provide technical support in delivering overhead line design on complex multi-discipline projects. • Have the opportunity to be involved in large programmes of work like GGP projects. • Support in writing proposals and outlining all project details, including the timeline, resources, budget, objectives, and goals. • Provide technical support and input throughout the project implementation, statutory planning, and participation in public consultation events. • Be responsible for design activities related to the overhead line. This encompasses PLS-CADD modelling, meticulous line routing, comprehensive structural analysis and loading trees, formulation of design criteria, precise sag-tension calculations, insulator/conductor blowout, swing angle, damper system recommendations, strategic structural spotting, thorough clearance reports, and judicious conductor and insulator selection. • Support in feasibility studies, performing conductor thermal ratings, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. • Conduct studies to identify a technically preferred solution/layout to present to the client. • Originate and check engineering deliverables such as complex designs, reports, proposals, presentations, and drawing packages. • Perform internal quality checks of engineering drawings and calculations. • Planning, scheduling, and execution of HV transmission line projects including: • Prepare cost estimates, project budgets, and resource allocation plans. • Coordinate with project managers, clients and other stakeholders to ensure project requirements are met. • Coordination and technical leadership in the delivery of HV transmission line engineering and design projects/packages.  • Developing transmission line alignments, profiles, and structure spotting using PLS-CADD. • Performing sag-tension analysis and validating clearances in accordance with relevant standards (e.g. EN 50341, NG TS 2.04). • Preparing and reviewing design deliverables including plan/profile drawings, stringing charts, structure schedules, and loading reports. • Assessing tower and pole structure loading and coordinating foundation designs with geotechnical inputs. • Leading and/or contributing to the following project types: • New transmission line designs (greenfield) • Reconductoring and sag-tension recalculations • Uprating and clearance improvement studies • Structure/pole strength assessments and retrofits • Foundation strengthening (e.g., pile extensions, grillage upgrades) • Line cut-ins, tee-offs, and route deviations • Tower/pole replacements and asset renewal • OPGW or earthwire replacement and shielding reviews • Participating in design reviews, QA/verification processes, and constructability assessments. • Supporting delivery of construction-ready drawings and material schedules. • Coordinating with drafting, structural, civil, electrical, and geotechnical teams for integrated design outputs. • Providing guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and contributing to continuous improvement through lessons learned and design innovation.
