About the role

Burns & McDonnell in the US is seeking a Senior Transmission Engineer to lead design for 2.4kV to 345kV projects. You will oversee technical staff, provide expert guidance on standards, and drive best practices across transmission projects. The role requires strong CAD skills, client liaison, and the ability to deliver designs that meet safety, codes, and performance requirements while managing budgets and schedules.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
