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.

- Provide day-to-day leadership and supervision for a team of power make-ready designers.
- Perform technical make-ready design and project work alongside the employees you supervise.
- Establish team priorities, coordinate assignments, monitor progress, and help ensure project deadlines and performance expectations are met.
- Review make-ready designs for quality, accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable project requirements, utility standards, and procedures.

- Support key responsibilities of the Project Manager and Project Engineer.
- Assist with reviewing and improving project procedures, specifications, standards, workflows, and documentation.
- Implement approved process and documentation improvements.
- Track and communicate team performance, project status, workload, risks, and resource needs.
- Coordinate work and communicate effectively across departments and project functions.
- Train, coach, and mentor team members to strengthen their make-ready knowledge and professional development.
- Provide ongoing feedback and manage the performance of assigned team members.
- Complete and deliver annual performance reviews for assigned employees.
