Job Summary:

We are seeking a Transmission Right-of-Way (ROW) Constructability Specialist to support the early-phase planning and access strategy for a multi-year portfolio of brownfield and greenfield transmission projects. This role focuses on identifying real-world construction access challenges and field conditions before projects transition to execution. The ideal candidate will combine desktop analysis with field verification to provide practical, field-informed insights that optimize construction safety, cost, and schedule.

Key Responsibilities:

- Perform preliminary desktop reviews of transmission ROWs using GIS, aerial imagery, and engineering drawings to identify access issues and terrain constraints.

- Conduct field walks of ROW corridors as access becomes available to validate planning assumptions and identify additional constructability concerns.

- Evaluate access challenges including washouts, steep grades, gate availability, drainage features, water crossings (D-crossings, T-crossings), railroads, encroachments, pipelines, and parallel utilities.

- Recommend access plans that include pulling pockets, temporary access roads, off-ROW solutions, matting, culvert, and gate additions to facilitate construction.

- Work closely with internal Engineering, Construction, and ROW teams to align early constructability planning with design and landowner commitments.

- Document findings in structured formats, including annotated maps, risk registers, and access recommendation reports.

- Assist in estimating access effort, sequencing constraints, and potential permitting implications tied to access improvements.

- Contribute constructability feedback during early project reviews and pre-construction planning meetings.

- 7+ years of experience in transmission line construction, field engineering, or ROW planning.

- Strong understanding of construction methods for greenfield and brownfield transmission projects, including access needs and safety considerations.

- Demonstrated experience identifying access risks and proposing workable field solutions.

- Comfortable working both independently and cross-functionally with engineering, construction, environmental, and ROW teams.

- Proficient in reading plan/profile drawings, access maps, and land records.

- Willingness to travel up to 50% within the utility’s service territory (Texas) for field reviews.

Preferred Experience:

- Prior field construction experience as a line foreman, construction manager, or access planner.

- Familiarity with Texas terrain, weather impacts on access, and coordination with landowners or permitting bodies.

- Knowledge of the ERCOT CCN process

- Working knowledge of ArcGIS, Google Earth Pro, and field data collection tools.
