Our vision
|
We are a collective of pole measurement analysts, scientists, field data collectors, and customer advocates. We are on this planet to make a profound change in the lives of those we serve - every human connected through the workflow of pole provisioning projects. Together, we are building the power and communications infrastructure of the future.

Our mission and purpose
|
We know where we come from. We know where we are today. We know where we are going. We know our values and we’re damn good at what we do. We BRING it every day with pride and attitude. We are a niche player in a segment that is under-celebrated - under the radar. It’s a little hard to describe at a party. But that’s only because the industry we serve needs more people just like us. We’re already doing the work to evangelize, teach and celebrate those we serve. And according to our values, we celebrate ourselves by celebrating them. We are on this planet to make a profound change in the lives of those we serve - to the utility pole measurers and every human being involved in the process of provisioning for the great fiber rush

Position Summary:
Proficient in SolidWorks, the 3D Modeler is highly skilled in creating accurate and detailed 3D models for integration with our PoleForeman software. PoleForeman is a structural analysis tool used in the design and maintenance of overhead power distribution lines. This role focuses strictly on model creation, including calculating the projected wind area for the front and side faces using SolidWorks' built-in tools. Additionally, the role includes converting models into HOOPS Stream files, with training provided for this conversion process. The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with engineers and product teams to ensure designs meet project specifications and are seamlessly integrated into PoleForeman. Attention to detail, proficiency in SolidWorks, and a commitment to delivering high-quality models are key to success in this role.
Position location
Based in the US, the position is hybrid operating under the IKE Anywhere policy, but with frequent time required to be spent in IKE’s Chelsea, Alabama office.
The position will be located approximately 35 miles south of BHM international airport.
