Description
Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) is seeking a Utility Designer to join our Engineering team. This position plays a vital role in our ability to provide reliable electric service to VEC members.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced line worker who wants to transition to more desk work, or an engineer who wants a customer-facing, direct service role. Sometimes referred to as Field Engineers/Engineering, Utility Designers collaborate with many internal and external departments to ensure new projects are built safely and to specification throughout our Northern Vermont territory.
The ideal candidate has a track record of project management, working with stakeholders to deliver results on time. VEC does not compromise on safety; a safety mindset is a must. There are frequent meetings with members, on their property; communication and customer service skills are also a must.
This position does require a strong working knowledge of electrical theory, either as a result of field work in electric utilities or via education. It is local with some hybrid flexibility, so being based near our Vermont service area is a must.
There is frequent travel within VEC's system for site evaluations and meetings with members, and the company provides use of a vehicle for that purpose. The Engineering team is collaborative and supportive, helping each other regularly. Each Utility Designer has a territory, reviewed periodically as a group, with a goal of equitable workload. The current opening will be based at our headquarters in Johnson, Vermont. We have a desk and a truck ready when you are.
As a member-owned Cooperative, VEC is a nonprofit dedicated to serving our members- not the pockets of shareholders. We strive every day to balance innovation with the delivery of safe, reliable power and the Engineering group is central to both.
