Frequently asked questions
In Cary, NC, a Transmission Line Engineering Consultant 2 oversees multiple transmission and distribution projects, ensuring coordination among teams and stakeholders. Their role includes scheduling, budgeting, safety management, and risk control, which is vital to maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the regional power grid infrastructure.
Expertise in project management, electrical utility engineering principles, and multi-disciplinary team leadership are key. Familiarity with contract administration, risk assessment, and communication across internal and external departments also enhances success in transmission engineering consultancy, especially in complex grid environments.
Cary's growing infrastructure demands a skilled workforce, making senior transmission planning roles competitive yet promising. Candidates with over a decade in electric utilities and proven project management experience tend to stand out, especially those comfortable with hybrid work settings and client-focused project delivery.
Sargent & Lundy fosters career development through mentorship, leadership opportunities, and access to diverse grid projects. Their culture emphasizes coaching, cross-department collaboration, and recognition programs, which collectively empower consultants to enhance both technical and managerial expertise within the energy sector.
This role features a hybrid work schedule with three office days and two remote days, supporting flexibility. Additionally, employees receive comprehensive health plans, paid time off, parental leave, and financial incentives like tuition assistance and 401(k) matching, all designed to promote well-being and job satisfaction.
The compensation spans from $142,710 to $215,440 annually, aligning with Cary’s market for senior engineering consultants. This range reflects the specialized expertise required in transmission line projects, competitive benefits, and the region’s cost of living, positioning it attractively among Southeastern U.S. energy sector jobs.
Challenges include balancing safety, budget constraints, and scheduling across complex projects. Sargent & Lundy addresses these by providing robust reporting tools, strong mentorship, and cross-functional collaboration platforms, enabling consultants to proactively identify risks, adjust plans, and maintain client satisfaction throughout project lifecycles.
The hybrid setup blends in-person collaboration with remote focus time, enhancing productivity. Consultants spend three days onsite for team meetings and client interaction, while two remote days allow concentrated work on design, reporting, and planning, fostering a balanced approach to managing grid projects effectively.
While a BS degree from an ABET-accredited program is essential, certifications like PMP and professional engineering licenses are highly valued. These credentials demonstrate project management proficiency and technical competence, often improving candidacy and effectiveness in managing transmission system initiatives locally.
The role primarily focuses on project management and coordination, but occasional site visits may be necessary to assess construction risk and progress. The hybrid work arrangement supports this by providing flexibility to engage onsite as needed while maintaining remote work capabilities for administrative duties.
