Full Job Description

Brooksource is seeking two entry-level Distribution Designers to join our utilities client's growing team in Gahanna, Ohio. With a significant increase in utility projects, this team is expanding to support long-term electrical distribution work across the service territory.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who enjoys both hands-on field work and technical problem solving. Unlike a traditional design role, you'll begin by working alongside experienced field technicians to learn how electrical distribution systems are built in the real world before transitioning into a full-time design position. If you have an engineering mindset, enjoy learning new software, and thrive in a collaborative team environment, please apply!

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Complete structured onboarding by spending up to 3 months in the field alongside experienced data collectors, learning utility equipment, pole attachments, and electrical distribution infrastructure firsthand.
Collect and document field data that will later be used to develop accurate utility distribution designs.
Transition into an office-based design role utilizing software such as Catapult and Distribution Design Studio (DDS) to create utility distribution designs.
Learn how to analyze existing electrical infrastructure and determine the safest and most efficient methods for new pole attachments and distribution upgrades.
Apply technical problem-solving and mathematical reasoning to support utility design projects while ensuring compliance with engineering standards and safety requirements.
Collaborate closely with designers, field technicians, supervisors, and teammates throughout the design process.
Participate in real project work from the beginning while receiving ongoing mentorship and on-the-job training.

Ideal Candidate Background

Early-career professional interested in utilities, engineering, construction, telecommunications, or infrastructure.
Technical aptitude demonstrated through vocational training, an associate degree, engineering coursework, military experience, or hands-on field work.
Experience using design or technical software (CAD or similar engineering/design platforms preferred; AutoCAD experience is a plus but not required).
Strong mathematical reasoning and attention to detail.
Comfortable working outdoors during the initial training period before transitioning into an office environment.
Competitive, self-motivated, and coachable, with experience participating in athletics or other team-based environments being highly valued.
Enjoys collaborating with others and contributing to team success.

Why You'll Love This Role

Unique opportunity to gain hands-on field experience before moving into utility design.
Mentorship and structured training from experienced field technicians and designers.
Join a stable, growing team supporting one of Ohio's largest utility providers.
Long-term career growth driven by major infrastructure investments and increasing utility demand.
Be part of meaningful infrastructure projects that directly support Ohio's expanding electrical grid.
