Full Job Description

Overview:

NV5 is a provider of engineering and consulting services to public and private sector clients, delivering solutions through six business verticals: Testing, Inspection & Consulting; Infrastructure; Utility Services; Environmental Health Sciences; Buildings & Program Management; and Geospatial Technology. With offices nationwide and abroad, NV5 helps clients plan, design, build, test, certify, and operate projects that improve the communities where we live and work.

As engineers, architects, construction/program managers, environmental professionals and beyond, we play a significant role in shaping our communities through the services we provide. We are looking for enthusiastic, driven individuals to join our team focused on Delivering Solutions and Improving Lives.

Position Overview

NV5 is seeking a Transmission Line Design Intern to support our overhead transmission engineering team. This role offers direct exposure to high-voltage transmission line projects and the opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers on active utility programs.

The intern will contribute to engineering and design efforts, supporting alignment development, structure placement, and coordination with survey, geospatial, and ROW teams. This is a hands-on role focused on real project delivery—not just shadowing.

Responsibilities:

Support development of transmission line design deliverables, including plan & profile drawings and structure spotting
Assist with engineering inputs for line design, including loading criteria, sag-tension data, and basic structural considerations
Work with industry-standard tools such as PLS-CADD, AutoCAD, and GIS platforms
Review and interpret survey data, LiDAR, and topographic mapping to support alignment and design decisions
Coordinate with internal NV5 teams across engineering, survey, geospatial, and ROW to support integrated project execution
Assist in preparation of engineering calculations, design summaries, and technical documentation
Support organization of project files and deliverables
Participate in project coordination meetings
Perform site visits as required for active projects

Qualifications:

Desired Skills

Foundational understanding of utility systems and transmission lines
Familiarity with AutoCAD, GIS tools, or similar engineering/design software
Strong analytical and problem-solving ability
Ability to interpret technical drawings and engineering data
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word and general data management
Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn in a delivery-focused environment
Effective communication skills and ability to work within multidisciplinary teams

Education/Qualifications

Must be currently enrolled in school pursuing a bachelor’s degree in civil, mechanical or electrical Engineering.
Familiarity with Civil 3D and Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, and Excel), and Trimble Business Center
Prior internship, coursework, or project experience related to infrastructure or energy is a plus

Why NV5

At NV5, interns are treated as contributors—not observers. You’ll be part of a team that values practical engineering, accountability, and collaboration. Our transmission line group is actively growing, supporting major infrastructure programs across the country, and this role is an entry point into a long-term career in utility engineering.

The pay range for this California position is $26.00- $30.00 per hour; however, base pay offered may be higher or lower depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience of the candidate. Full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the position offered. This information is provided per California Senate Bill 1162. Base pay information is based on market location. Applicants should apply via the NV5 careers site.

NV5 offers a competitive compensation and benefits package including medical, dental, life insurance, PTO, 401(k) and professional development/advancement opportunities.

NV5 provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, amnesty, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.
