Transmission Lines Practice Lead Resume Charles Lambert Transmission Lines Practice Lead (718) 555-XXXX charles.lambert@example.com charleslambert Brooklyn, NY 11201 STRENGTHS Technical judgment When utility criteria differed across jurisdictions, compared the engineering implications and documented a defensible path for client review. Client partnership Built trusted utility and industrial relationships by clarifying technical needs and connecting project options with practical commercial choices. Team development Used design reviews and focused training to help engineers and designers strengthen judgment and produce more consistent deliverables. Delivery coordination Aligned project managers and technical disciplines around scope, workload, schedule, and budget so teams could keep complex line packages moving. Quality ownership Applied standards-based checks to models, calculations, drawings, and specifications, helping teams resolve design issues before construction release.

Guide multidisciplinary teams from route selection and conceptual development through detailed design and construction support , applying sound engineering judgment across jurisdictions. Hold Professional Engineer licenses in New York and Ontario, with reciprocal licensure across U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. Build utility and industrial client relationships, shape proposals and project scopes, and manage schedules, budgets, and team workloads while developing engineers through technical reviews and training. EXPERIENCE Transmission Lines Practice Lead Meridian Power Engineering Mar 2019 - Present Brooklyn, NY Direct technical delivery for overhead transmission projects across U.S. and Canadian utility territories, aligning route selection, conceptual design, detailed engineering , and construction support with client requirements and jurisdictional regulations. Review PLS-CADD models, design calculations, drawings, and specifications for multiple structure types and line configurations; apply IEEE, ASCE, CSA, NESC, IEC, and CIGRE guidance as appropriate to each project. Lead design development for structures, conductor, OPGW, insulators, hardware, and fittings, integrating utility standards, permitting constraints, constructability, and cost estimates into recommendations. Develop relationships with utility and industrial clients by advising on transmission programs, clarifying technical and commercial needs, and identifying follow-on project opportunities. Lead proposal development, project scoping, and pricing with pursuit and delivery teams; represent the practice at client forums, industry events, and professional associations. Coordinate project managers, engineering managers, and internal disciplines to balance team workload against the project pipeline and maintain delivery within agreed timelines and budgets. Mentor engineers and designers through technical reviews, targeted training, performance discussions , and continuous improvement of design and quality-check practices. Applied independent engineering judgment to a cross-border line design with conflicting utility criteria, documented alternatives against applicable standards, and resolved technical and commercial ambiguity before scope approval. Standardized transmission line quality assurance reviews with jurisdiction-specific checklists for model, calculation, and drawing packages, reducing avoidable review returns by 18% across a six-project portfolio. Senior Transmission Line Engineer Cedar Ridge Infrastructure Jul 2013 - Feb 2019 Toronto, ON Managed engineering packages for utility transmission upgrades, carrying work from route alternatives and conceptual layouts into detailed design and field construction support . Built and checked PLS-CADD models for overhead lines, documenting structure loading, conductor clearances, OPGW, insulator assemblies, hardware, and fittings for client review. Interpreted CSA, IEEE, ASCE, NESC, IEC, and CIGRE references alongside Canadian and U.S. utility standards to resolve design questions across project jurisdictions. Prepared estimates, scope descriptions, and technical proposal material, helping account teams respond to client priorities and establish practical project budgets. Coordinated permitting inputs and design interfaces with environmental, civil, survey, and construction teams, resolving route and access constraints before field mobilization. Compared route alternatives using survey, access, permitting, and constructability inputs, then documented the preferred alignment and structure selection rationale for utility review and budget approval. Coordinated a design package across civil, environmental, survey, and construction disciplines, resolving access and permitting questions before mobilization and keeping field support aligned with the approved schedule. Transmission Line Engineer VoltEdge Consulting May 2008 - Jun 2013 Albany, NY Produced overhead line designs for utility clients using PLS-CADD , translating survey, terrain, and clearance information into route and structure recommendations. Evaluated structure configurations, conductor options, OPGW, insulators, and line hardware, documenting design assumptions and cost implications for engineering reviews. Checked drawings and calculations against NESC, IEEE, ASCE, and client utility standards, correcting inconsistencies before issue for construction. Supported project managers with engineering schedules, estimate updates, design coordination, and construction inquiries on projects with multiple internal disciplines. Associate Transmission Line Engineer Northline Engineering Group Aug 2004 - Apr 2008 Rochester, NY Developed PLS-CADD models and design drawings for overhead transmission assignments, using field survey and mapping data to support route selection and structure spotting. Assisted with structure loading, conductor clearance, and material evaluations, preparing calculation packages for senior engineering review. Responded to construction questions with timely drawing clarifications and field observations, recording design changes for project documentation. Junior Transmission Line Engineer Keystone Utility Design Jun 2001 - Jul 2004 Buffalo, NY Prepared line profiles, plan drawings, and basic PLS-CADD model updates for utility design packages under the direction of senior engineers. Organized survey inputs and checked conductor and structure information against project criteria, helping produce consistent design documentation. Contributed to field visits and construction issue logs, relaying site conditions to the engineering team for follow-up and design coordination. LEADERSHIP, AWARDS & RECOGNITION Received utility client recognition in 2023 for clear technical guidance during a multi-jurisdiction transmission upgrade. Established an internal transmission design review workshop series for engineers and designers, beginning in 2021 and continuing to the present. Invited presenter on overhead line constructability at a regional power engineering forum in 2018.
