Remote | Joint-Use Utility Pole Design
ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
Sigma Technologies is seeking an experienced Power Make-Ready Design Supervisor to lead a team supporting power utility and joint-use make-ready design projects. This is a working supervisor position that combines daily team leadership, technical oversight, performance management, and hands-on project support.
Candidates must have direct experience performing or overseeing power utility make-ready design. General power distribution design experience without make-ready experience will not fully meet the requirements of this position.
The ideal candidate has previously led make-ready designers in a team lead, supervisory, or management capacity. This person must be comfortable establishing priorities, monitoring quality and productivity, mentoring team members, and helping the team meet project requirements and deadlines.
This position may work fully remotely. However, new hires must attend an initial two-week, in-person paid orientation and training period at our main office in Perrysburg, Ohio.
While we may advertise this opening in multiple locations, you only need to apply once.
