• Perform preliminary site assessments and feasibility studies, including shading analysis and interconnection evaluations.
• Specify and recommend system components such as modules, inverters, and racking systems to align with project requirements.
• Assist in budget preparations by providing cost estimates for system components and design optimizations.
• Prepare and present comprehensive design packages, including bills of materials and supporting documentation, for permitting and construction.
• Stay informed about advancements in solar technologies, industry trends, and best practices to integrate innovation into design work.

Additional Responsibilities:

• Offer versatile support to the Project Management team, which may encompass:
  • Engineering assistance
  • Project support
  • Supervision of on-site construction and engineering surveys

What You'll Bring:

• Proficiency in design and modeling software such as AutoCAD, PVsyst, and Helioscope.
• Strong understanding of NEC, local electrical codes, and interconnection standards.
• Familiarity with structural design considerations and energy storage system (ESS) integration is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills to collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
