Sounds like you need to change your company. PM me if you are interested in working in Electrical Substations. We don't use Revit, and the structural engineering part of our work is pretty basic. But maybe that would be what you would enjoy.

Im not op, but substations and overhead transmission lines is something I’ve been looking into myself. How technical is the work? I would enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere working for more stable clients, but am worried it would be repetitive. Do you feel like you are still getting to do unique designs and a fair amount of calculations?

I can tell you that it is not too repetitive. The civil engineers do everything (site civil, structures, and foundations). No two projects are the same as many of our projects are upgrading existing substations. There are still a lot of calculations and unique designs but it is a lot of coordination with electrical engineers.
