Power Designer - Field
Overhead Power Utility Pole Design | Field Data Collection
Remote location: Norman, OK (surrounding areas)
Primary Field Focus: Northeastern, Southeastern, and Southwestern Oklahoma geographic areas as project needs require
We are seeking an experienced Power Distribution / Make-Ready Designer who is comfortable owning the full lifecycle of utility pole design, from field data collection through construction-ready engineering deliverables. This role is ideal for designers who prefer to personally verify field conditions, understand how real-world infrastructure impacts design decisions, and want to reduce handoff gaps between field and design teams. Candidates must have prior experience in overhead utility pole design and NESC-compliant make-ready or power distribution engineering. This is not an entry-level or field-only role.
This role will initially support project work in Northwestern Louisiana, Northeast Texas and along the West Arkansas border. As project needs grow and shift, the assigned work areas may change. Applicants must be willing and able to travel outside of the initial starting areas, including overnight travel when required.
When not performing field data collection, this position will work remotely. Regular local fieldwork is required and work location can vary (50%+ travel possible). Not all travel will result in an overnight stay, depending on the work area compared to the home location.
This position requires the use of your own vehicle for which we provide mileage reimbursement. Sigma covers the cost of hotels and provides daily per diem when overnight stays are required.
Note: New hires are required to attend a 2-week paid, in-person onboarding and training at our Perrysburg, Ohio headquarters.
Applicants without prior experience in utility pole design or power distribution engineering may not be considered.
