The Role

We’re looking for a Utility Asset Specialist to help build the next generation of asset intelligence for the electric utility industry. This position bridges deep field knowledge with data modeling - translating decades of construction practice into digital representations that power automation, inspection, and predictive analytics. In this role, you'll leverage your expertise in electric distribution and transmission infrastructure - poles, crossarms, conductors, transformers, and associated hardware - to establish standards, label assets accurately, and assess their condition. This role is ideal for a current or former lineman, inspector, or field engineer ready to bring their practical knowledge into a fast-moving technology environment.

How you'll make an impact:

• Asset Labeling & Modeling: Identify, classify, and standardize components in electric distribution and transmission systems using internal modeling tools
• Field Visits: Independent and customer-facing validation of client assets and model outputs. Requires knowledge of wide-ranging equipment and construction standards across the industry to ensure high fidelity in digital asset models
• Condition Assessment: Rapidly assess and categorize asset condition (e.g., decay, corrosion, clearance, tilt) to support QA, analytics, and training datasets
• Documentation & Training: Develop clear, repeatable processes and documentation to train internal teams on asset identification, nomenclature, and condition coding
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Data Science, and Field Services to refine classification logic and improve modeling accuracy
• Continuous Improvement: Identify recurring issues and propose improvements in labeling standards, tools, and workflows
• Support Asset Management Strategy: Bring expertise on type of asset conditions that are critical for managing wildfire, storm, public safety and reliability risks on the system

What we're looking for:

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience:
  • 10+ years in electric utility field operations, inspection, standards, or construction
  • Prior roles such as Lineman, QA Inspector, Standards Engineer, Training specialist, or Distribution Technician strongly preferred
• Technical Knowledge:
  • Deep understanding of overhead line construction, including crossarm, armless, and equipment configurations
  • Familiarity with RUS standards, joint-use attachments, and inspection QA/QC
  • Experience reading and interpreting pole assembly diagrams or GIS/inspection data systems
• Skills:
  • Strong visual identification and pattern recognition skills
  • Excellent documentation and communication abilities
  • Comfortable using software such as Microsoft Office, GIS or mapping systems, inspection software

Preferred Qualifications

• Drone, infrared, or LiDAR inspection experience
• Background in training, standards documentation, or root cause analysis

What you'll love:

• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage: 100% coverage for employees and 80% for their spouses and children
• Health Reimbursement Account (HRA): 100% funded by AiDASH to cover medical deductibles
