Wellington City, New Zealand Beca Full time

**Transmission Line Engineer (Te Whanganui-a-tara)**
- Broad engineering role, working across projects of different scales, client types, and geographic typographies across both Australia and New Zealand
- Scope to build your career in a range of pathways including niche transmission line disciplines, engineering capability, design, or project delivery with a passionate team focused on your professional development

**Te kāinga rua | The opportunity**

Each project will have unique design requirements, topography, scale, and client types. You'll tackle various design tasks with team support, considering structural loads, site conditions, extreme weather, and geotechnical factors. Problem-solving and collaborative design solutions will be key aspects of your role. Experience with design tools, especially PLS-CADD, is advantageous.

Projects range from connecting renewable energy sites to upgrading networks for resilience. You'll be involved from feasibility to maintenance, investigating electrical clearances, assessing structural capacities, and creating mitigation plans. This role enhances your power and energy sector expertise, including health and safety standards, supporting your professional growth.

You'll gain on-the-job design experience working on projects across Australia and New Zealand, leading to future career opportunities in technical power and transmission engineering, project management, consulting, and client relationship management. Support for professional development with industry bodies is provided.

At Beca, you'll learn from top professionals and contribute your ideas. Access to a multidisciplinary business allows you to leverage technical expertise for complex transmission line projects. You'll influence project delivery, with opportunities to develop consulting skills, project management, and technical expertise, including industry accreditation.

**Te rongoā | About you**

Our Transmission Line Engineers come from a range of engineering backgrounds, united by their passion to make a real-world difference through their engineering, design, problem solving and project delivery skills. Joining this team will allow you to bring your engineering abilities to understand client project requirements, analyse and problem solve, as well as your ability to support the design of solutions delivering transmission projects. You will have the curiosity mindset and skills to research and validate data, drawings, site photos and maps, as well as the ability to interpret these with on-site visits. While you will have plenty of scope for success in this role, you will also have the awareness to know your limits, especially knowing when to seek input to validate and confirm your design assumptions such as from Beca’s Transmission sector technical experts, or through other sources.

To be successful in this role, you will have previous engineering experience with an understanding of the transmission line sector and projects being an advantage. While we have plenty of scope to develop your skills, this role won’t suit a person starting their career such as at a graduate level. This experience could be from a range of roles, such as working in a consulting environment on Transmission Line projects, within an asset owner in the transmission sector, or similar related roles such as with large industrial sites.

You will also be a relationship builder, able to work with other engineers collaboratively on projects, as well as with our clients. You will enjoy ‘picking up the phone’ as an approach to connect with clients, especially to problem solve on project site-specific design issues. You will also be passionate about learning from others, ready to listen, engage, support, and positively query situations with a focus on great project outcomes. We also like to have fun along the way, so a good sense of humour will hold you in good stead. This position will provide you with wide exposure and create opportunities for career and professional development across the Beca business, both locally and across Australasia.

We welcome and invite applicants from diverse backgrounds, recognising the civil, structural, mechanical and/or electrical engineering specifically in transmission line design, project, and delivery aspects this role covers.
