**POLE LOADING ANALYSIS (PLA) SPECIALIST**

Build safe, buildable, construction-ready make-ready solutions—at scale.

**Why this role**

**What you’ll do**

Your work will be primarily production (about 80%), with some time dedicated to quality and process improvement (about 20%). You will:

- Complete pole loading analyses and make-ready solutions for joint-use attachments (telecom and utility environments)
- Build accurate models from upstream inputs (IKE Office outputs, point clouds/measurements, photos, spans, attachments, and client standards)
- Identify overloaded or non-compliant conditions and recommend practical, buildable make-ready solutions
- Produce clear documentation and construction-ready notes/packages so downstream teams can act quickly
- Participate in peer review and QA/QC; support escalation to P.Eng review when required
- Provide feedback to field teams on input quality and what’s needed to reduce rework
- Contribute to improving templates, checklists, and workflow to increase throughput while protecting quality

**Tools you’ll use**
- QuickPole (strongly preferred; primary for Alberta work)
- SPIDAcalc (asset)
- PLS-CADD (nice-to-have)
- Familiarity with ArcGIS / Google Earth / CAD basics is an asset

**What success looks like (first 90 days)**
- You can complete straightforward PLA files with consistent assumptions, clean documentation, and mínimal rework
- You quickly spot missing/incorrect inputs and communicate what’s needed to resolve them
- You follow established processes and quality standards consistently
- You build strong working relationships with peers, reviewers, and project leads through clear, proactive communication

**What we’re looking for**

We can train the tools—what matters most is how you think and how you work.

Delivery & mindset
- Strong critical thinker who enjoys practical problem-solving
- Detail-oriented and consistent—follows the process and documents clearly
- Comfortable with extended screen time and structured technical work
- Fast learner who asks good questions and adapts quickly
- Collaborative and proactive communicator

Experience & education (flexible)

Strongly preferred
- Hands-on experience producing pole loading / make-ready outputs in QuickPole

Assets
- Experience with SPIDAcalc and/or exposure to PLS-CADD
- Familiarity with joint-use programs and working within utility/telecom standards
- Understanding of field collection workflows (even if you’re not collecting the data yourself)
- Basic CAD/GIS comfort (e.g., ArcGIS navigation)

**What’s in it for you**
- High-impact work tied directly to safe, compliant, buildable infrastructure
- A team that values curiosity, quality, and continuous improvement
- Hybrid flexibility and strong collaboration across BC/AB teams
- Real opportunity to grow your technical scope and career direction as our PLA practice scales
