Principal Engineer - Transmission Lines ( Structural )

Responsible for engineering design and modification activities related to electrical & electronic circuits, systems, and equipment. May involve the installation, operation & maintenance of electrical systems and equipment.

Discipline concerning power systems, electronic and transmission equipment, electric service and supply systems, lighting systems, communication service and supply systems, fire alarm and detection systems, control systems or electrical installations.

An electrical engineer focuses on designing, maintaining and improving products that are powered by or produce electricity. Electrical engineering deals with electricity, electro-magnetism and electronics. It also covers power, control systems, telecommunications and signal processing. These engineers are usually concerned with large-scale electrical systems such as motor control and power transmission, as well as utilizing electricity to transmit energy.

• Gathers and correlates basic engineering data using established and well-defined procedures.
• Works on detailed or routine engineering assignments involving calculations and relatively simple tests.
• Proposes approach to solve new problems encountered using modifications of standard procedures or methods developed in previous assignments.
• Identifies discrepancies in results.
• Provides guidance to Junior level engineers.
• Performs work in accordance with agreed upon budget and schedule with little supervision.
• Independently performs all the tasks necessary to complete primary design
• elements for engineering works.
• Performance at this level requires developmental experience in a professional position

• Master of Engineering degree (or equivalent education) in an appropriate engineering discipline from an accredited college or university.
• Overall 8+ years of work experience is preferred.

Minimum Requirements
