Remote Construction Engineer I — Solar & Storage

SOLV Energy; Nebraska; On-site; USD 4,132,800 - 5,234,880; Full time

Job summary

SOLV Energy is seeking a Construction Engineer I to support EPC operations through engineering coordination, documentation, and field data management. This remote, contingent role involves warranty analysis, emerging technologies implementation, and pile load testing support, with travel as needed.

You will work with project managers, field teams, and clients to maintain drawing updates, manage RFIs, and ensure design requirements are met while advancing new construction technology SOPs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Environmental Studies, or a closely related technical field (preferred).
• 0–3 years of relevant experience, with the ability to perform tasks with guidance and grow toward independent execution (aligned with Engineer I expectations).
• Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT) certification preferred or willingness to pursue certification.
• Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including civil, structural, electrical, and geotechnical plans.
• Foundational understanding of construction processes, testing practices (such as pile load testing), and engineering documentation.
• High attention to detail with strong organizational skills and the ability to maintain accurate, disciplined documentation across multiple engineering workflows.
• Problem‑solving mindset with the ability to identify inconsistencies, collect supporting information, and elevate engineering concerns appropriately.
• Strong communication skills, capable of explaining design updates, gathering field information, and collaborating with project managers, engineers, and field teams.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially Excel and Word; exposure to CAD, GIS, drone‑capture platforms, GPS machine‑control datasets, or similar tools preferred.
• Willingness to learn and support emerging construction technologies, including drone‑based surveys, GPS‑enabled equipment, and digital field data systems.
• Ability to conduct field work, including walking construction sites, collecting data, observing installation methods, and participating in testing activities.
• Sense of urgency and ownership, able to support fast‑paced construction environments and respond quickly to engineering information needs.
• Team‑oriented, with the ability to work collaboratively across engineering, operations, warranty, and technology‑focused groups.

Responsibilities

• Warranty Forensics: gather field data, photos, as-built information, and installation details to support warranty claim evaluations.
• Emerging Technologies Implementation: support deployment of GPS-enabled pile driving, drone topo capture, and machine control datasets.
• Construction Engineering Support During Operations: coordinate daily engineering information flow to field teams and manage RFIs.
• Pile Load Testing Support During Initial Design: assist with coordinating pre-construction pile load testing activities and document procedures and results.
• General Engineering Responsibilities: draw comparisons, perform quantity checks, and support constructability reviews and SOP improvements.
