Qualified Applicant Designer

Location: Bay Area, CA (Onsite)

Compensation: $125,000 - $175,000 base salary

About the Role

We are partnering with a utility design organization seeking a Qualified Applicant Designer for an onsite position in the Bay Area of California.

This position focuses on joint trench and dry utility design for electric, gas, and related utility infrastructure. The successful candidate must already hold current qualification under PG&E’s Applicant Designer Qualification Program and have hands-on joint trench or dry utility design experience.

What You'll Do

• Develop and revise joint trench or dry utility design plans and supporting documentation for utility infrastructure projects.
• Coordinate electric, gas, and other relevant utility layouts with project teams and utility stakeholders.
• Prepare designs consistent with applicable PG&E standards and project requirements.
• Prepare and maintain drawings, revisions, and supporting design records throughout the project lifecycle.
• Identify potential design conflicts and collaborate with the team to resolve them.

What We're Looking For

• Current qualification through PG&E’s Applicant Designer Qualification Program is required.
• Hands-on joint trench design or dry utility design experience is required.
• Experience preparing and coordinating utility design drawings and supporting project documentation.
• Ability to interpret technical plans, apply PG&E design standards, incorporate feedback, and maintain accuracy.
• Strong communication and coordination skills with project teams and utility stakeholders.

Why This Role Stands Out

Contribute directly to joint trench and dry utility projects, using your existing PG&E Applicant Designer qualification to support design packages from planning through review and revision.
