Civil Engineer

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of a topography aware platform that integrates GIS (Geographic Information System) data, geospatial analysis, and other relevant technologies to optimize solar project site selection, design, and construction.
• Serve as the source of truth for civil design for the product and projects, primarily final post location and install height.
• Process and review provided topography and flood depth data in Civil 3D
• Perform post-to-post slope analysis to accurately determine the correct product to use for each post.
• Perform grading analyses using Civil 3D based on provided contour data to provide civil quantity estimates for construction financial modeling.
• Perform water surface analyses using Civil 3D based on provided hydrology modeling to review minimum freeboard requirement is met.
• Provide technical expertise during the construction phase, overseeing civil engineering aspects, ensuring quality control, and resolving any on-site issues.
• Perform value engineering exercises to minimize project costs while identifying and proactively addressing potential risks and challenges related to site conditions through effective mitigation strategies.
• Maintain accurate records, reports, and documentation related to project design, development, and construction.
• Collaborate with engineers to update product configurations, drafting standards, and potentially develop automation procedures.
• Conduct thorough analysis to determine optimal foundation locations for solar panel arrays, considering factors such as soil stability, scour, load-bearing capacity, and geological conditions.
• Contribute to product development, ensuring a thorough understanding of the product.
• Support construction by managing Requests for Information (RFIs) and submittals.
• Supervise and coordinate with third-party vendors.
• Ensure effective communication and collaboration with internal teams, contractors, and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
