Job description

Responsibilities

• Manage third-party engineering teams responsible for developing solar project designs.
• Support projects from initial concept and design development through construction and commissioning.
• Coordinate with project management, environmental, procurement, transmission, construction, and other engineering stakeholders.
• Review multidisciplinary engineering work involving electrical, civil, structural, mechanical, and materials considerations.
• Apply value-engineering principles to balance reliability, performance, constructability, and cost.
• Coordinate engineering schedules, deliverables, priorities, and project risks.
• Help resolve technical issues and drive engineering decisions throughout project execution.
• Communicate effectively with internal teams, contractors, consultants, and other project stakeholders.
• Support schedule and budget management for major capital projects.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering required — Electrical, Civil, Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, or related engineering discipline.
• Approximately 5+ years of engineering/project experience preferred; candidates with fewer years may be considered if their experience strongly aligns with the position.
• Utility-scale solar engineering and project management experience is highly preferred.
• Experience with commercial/distributed-generation solar or other power-generation and infrastructure technologies will also be considered, including wind, BESS/energy storage, combined-cycle generation, nuclear, hydrogen, substations, and transmission.
• Strong engineering candidates from adjacent industries such as aerospace, civil infrastructure, and stormwater may also be considered.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams and external contractors.
• Strong project management, leadership, written communication, and verbal communication skills.

Solar experience is preferred but not an absolute requirement. Candidates with strong project engineering experience in other complex power-generation, energy, infrastructure, or multidisciplinary engineering environments are encouraged to apply.
