Eversource Electric Distribution Designer Jobs

Eversource Energy is hiring an electric distribution designer 3 in Tamworth, New Hampshire, at a starting rate of $38.54 an hour. The role is entry level in the designer progression. It is built as the training ground for the designer 2 level above it.

This is field work and design work in the same job. You will walk the ground where a new residential service, a relocation, or an upgrade is planned. Then you will turn what you saw into a cost estimate and a design that the crews can build. The same role also carries storm and emergency restoration assignments, so the work does not stop when the weather turns.

The posting is requisition R-032342, and the role is hybrid and union represented. An associate degree in engineering, engineering technology, industrial electricity, or a similar program is asked for. Two years of combined education and related experience is also accepted.

The same role runs in other New Hampshire towns too. The Eaton manufacturing project leader post shows the same mix of design, estimating, and coordination in a different industry.

Overview

What an electric distribution designer does

• Perform or assist with the duties of the Electric Distribution Designer 2 role under close supervision, within the limits of ability and experience
• Interface with the right departments to ensure proper design and efficient coordination of information for distribution projects
• Provide accurate and timely cost estimates and designs for new residential services, relocations, and upgrade projects
• Prepare designs and supporting documentation for additions and changes to the company electric system
• Take part in the weekly AWC Planning and Scheduling meetings
• Take on storm restoration and emergency restoration assignments

What Eversource asks for

• Associate degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Industrial Electricity, or a similar program
• Or 2 years of combined education and related experience
• Working knowledge of electrical and construction nomenclature, equipment, and procedures
• Capable of accurately interpreting blueprints and company circuit maps
• Effective written and oral communication skills
• Effective computer skills
• Must successfully pass the EEI Tech Test
• Knowledge of the National Electric Code as it applies to Eversource service requirements, service installations, and customer requirements
• Knowledge of the National Electric Safety Code as it applies to the Eversource distribution system
• Must hold a valid motor vehicle operator’s license
• Must have a high school diploma or equivalent (GED)

Who should apply and who should wait

Apply when you hold the associate degree or the two years of combined education and experience. The role suits someone who wants a design career inside a utility. The role is entry level by design, so it exists to train you toward designer 2.

In fact, a candidate who wants to learn the distribution system from the ground up will fit it. For example, an engineering technology graduate who can read blueprints and run a cost estimate is the profile the posting describes.

Wait when you cannot pass the EEI Tech Test or you do not hold a valid driver’s license. Both are conditions of the role. Waiting also makes sense when you want a purely office-based design job. This one mixes field work, storm restoration, and emergency assignments with the desk work.

Mistakes that cost applicants the role

The most common error is applying for the wrong designer level. Eversource runs the same title at different levels and towns. The Tamworth posting is the designer 3 entry point under requisition R-032342.

A second error is treating the degree line as the only route. Two years of combined education and related experience is also accepted. A candidate with the experience and no degree should still apply.

A third error is ignoring the union term. This is a union represented position, and anyone going into it is required to become a member of the union. The closing rule also matters. The posting says candidates must apply by the previous day, so the date on the posting is the last day, not the first day after it.

How to apply

Search the Eversource jobs site for requisition R-032342. Look for Electric Distribution Designer 3 in Tamworth, New Hampshire, and confirm the current status before you apply. The posting notes that the closing date is at 12:01 AM on the date shown.

Candidates must apply by the previous day. No specific closing date for the Tamworth posting was found, so do not wait for one. Finally, bargaining unit employees with rights to this posting are given first consideration.

Your application should show the degree or the two years of combined education and experience. It should also name the blueprints, circuit maps, or design tools you have actually worked with.

The posting screens for people who can read a circuit map and write a clear estimate. In particular, a short note about one design or estimate you produced will carry more weight than a long list of courses. Note that Eversource does not offer immigration-related sponsorship for this position.

Never pay for a job, training, or equipment to start a role. Never share bank details or passwords during an early application.
