Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Civil Engineer with 4–6 years of project design experience to lead civil engineering efforts for utility‑scale solar projects in the U.S. market. The role involves directing civil design activities, including site planning, grading, drainage, stormwater engineering, and road layout development, while ensuring compliance with AHJ, DOT, DEP, and U.S. code requirements.

This position requires strong proficiency in Civil 3D for surface modelling, corridor creation, earthwork analysis, and preparation of grading and drainage deliverables. The Civil Engineer will work closely with civil, structural, electrical, environmental, and permitting teams to produce coordinated IFC packages and support client discussions and technical reviews. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong engineering judgment, leadership ability, and the capability to deliver accurate, constructible, and code‑compliant civil design packages from concept through IFC.

Core Responsibilities

Site Planning, Site Feasibility Study

• Lead and own civil engineering design for C&I, DER, and utility-scale solar projects in the U.S.
• Define design strategy, establish criteria, and guide technical direction based on AHJ, geotechnical, permitting, and client requirements.
• Provide technical leadership to the civil design team, resolving engineering issues and ensuring high-quality deliverables.
• Plan and optimize overall site layout, access roads, entrances, parking, laydown yards, PV blocks, and infrastructure in accordance with AHJ and DOT requirements.
• Lead Civil 3D expertise for site development workflows, including corridor modeling, assemblies, subassemblies, profiles, plan-view alignment creation, sight-distance triangles, roundabout geometry, and county road upgrade requirements.

Grading Design

• Lead grading design for inverter pads, tracker rows, PV solar fields, BESS pads, substation yards, O&M buildings, equipment foundations, and overall site platforms.
• Oversee Civil 3D-based grading for roads, slopes, berms, retention/detention ponds, laydown yards, and drainage corridors.
• Perform earthwork optimization, cut/fill balancing, grading tie-ins, slope stabilization design, and constructability reviews.
• Develop detailed road alignment layouts, vertical profiles, cross-sections, super-elevation design, and horizontal control in accordance with DOT and county standards.
• Support trench design, underground routing, ductbank alignments, trench cross-sections, and Civil 3D modeling of utilities.

Drainage & Stormwater Management

• Lead hydrology and stormwater engineering including runoff modeling, hydraulic sizing, stormwater routing, and channel/ditch design.
• Design retention ponds, detention ponds, sediment basins, drainage traps, and basin outlet structures following state and county stormwater regulations.
• Review and validate hydraulic calculations for culverts, swales, energy dissipation, spillways, and peak-flow control per AHJ requirements.
• Oversee preparation of permitting-compliant SWPPP, SPCC, SPPP, E&S Plans, BMP strategies, and stormwater technical packages.
• Provide technical guidance for Highway Occupancy Permits (HOP), driveway access permits, county stormwater permits, environmental approvals, and right-of-way applications.
