Engineering Technologist

Locations : Gwinnett, Jackson, Fayette & Forsyth Counties

Join a team that keeps communities powered and connected. As an Engineering Technologist with Leidos, you'll be on the front lines of electric infrastructure - mapping out where the next pole goes, ensuring the grid is reliable, and applying hands-on engineering insight to real-world challenges. If you enjoy being outdoors, solving problems on the spot, and taking ownership of staking and design from start to finish, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Own the staking process - survey and precisely mark new utility poles, proposed underground power lines, equipment, and joint-use assets to support safe, efficient field construction.
• Perform Pole Loading Analysis to ensure structural integrity and NESC / client clearance requirements are met for existing or proposed poles.
• Conduct field inspections and gather high-quality electrical design site data that become the foundation of design packages.
• Translate field conditions into engineering design work and calculations using client standards and utility best practices.
• Design a variety of infrastructure types , including overhead distribution and underground power line systems for new neighborhoods, commercial developments, and system improvements.
• Partner daily with permitting agencies, right-of-way experts, system owners, field crews, forestry teams, and joint-pole partners.
• Support construction through to completion - including post-construction QA checks to ensure design standards and safety requirements were met.
• Investigate outage causes and propose engineering-based remediation to improve future reliability.
• Manage an exciting mix of work environments - around 80% of your time will be in the field with regional travel, while design and documentation duties are completed in the office.
