High Voltage Line Engineer

We are looking for a professional with training in Technical or Higher Industrial Engineering (Electricity), Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with B2/C1 English and more than 10 years of experience in the design and review of High Voltage lines (132-400 kV), as well as relevant exposure to HV underground cables (UGC).

Mastery of PLS‑CADD and/or PLS‑TOWER is essential, in addition to AutoCAD and an advanced level of Excel for calculations and report preparation. Solid knowledge of IEC/UNE standards, clearances, wind and ice loads, crossing criteria, and constructability aspects is also required.

Knowledge of ampacity and UGC design using tools such as CYMCAP or equivalents, as well as bonding criteria and thermal studies, will be valued, as well as experience in BIM/GIS methodologies applied to corridors, document management, and support in proposals, tenders, and technical specifications, providing a complete vision of the design cycle and consolidating the technical excellence of the area.

Join WSP: high-level technical projects

At WSP, we are world leaders in specialized engineering for infrastructure, transport, energy, environment, and building. We work on emblematic projects where your technical knowledge will be put to the test in demanding, high-value-added environments.

Due to the strong growth in our Energy | WSP area, we want to incorporate into our Transmission team in Madrid or Valladolid, a High Voltage Line Engineer (OHL/UGC) to lead the design and engineering review of HV lines and underground cables in national and international projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead the design and engineering review of High Voltage Lines, both overhead (OHL) and underground (UGC), in conceptual, basic, and detailed phases.

• You will perform mechanical calculations - catenary, sag, tension, and climatic loads - and define clearances, crossings, and insulation and safety criteria.

• You will prepare reports, drawings, specifications, and BOQs, providing technical support in tenders and procurement.

• You will coordinate interfaces with civil, structures, and substations, as well as collaborate in permitting processes (corridors, easements, and constraints).

• You will also review deliverables, ensure quality through design checks, and support team growth through the mentoring of junior and intermediate profiles.
