About the role

  • Serve as the primary technical reviewer for C&I and utility-scale solar projects, ensuring engineering packages are accurate, complete, code-compliant, and constructible
  • Lead review of electrical single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, equipment schedule, inverter layouts, protection schemes, cable sizing, grounding, and system modeling results
  • Conduct capacity tests, load calculations, PV system performance validations, and high-level energy modeling reviews
  • Oversee integration between mechanical, electrical, and civil design components to ensure system functionality and alignment with site conditions
  • Provide technical direction to internal teams, subcontractors, and external engineering partners throughout all project phases
  • Lead comprehensive reviews of design drawings, including issued-for-bid, issued-for-construction, and as-built packages
  • Identify constructability challenges, code issues, or performance risk, and drive the resolution process across engineering and construction teams
  • Coordinate and track all drawing revisions, ensuring timely updates, and version control
  • Perform advanced markup and redline reviews in AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and other design tools
  • Act as the technical point of contact for IEs and financiers to support diligence requires and communicate design assumptions
  • Participate in engineering calls, lender reviews, and due-diligence sessions to validate design soundness and address technical questions
  • Collaborate with procurement to evaluate equipment submittals, review vendor spec sheets, validate compatibility, and support technical negotiations
  • Perform site walks, field validations, and constructability assessments; compare field conditions to design intentions and flag discrepancies
  • Support QC efforts by verifying the electrical and mechanical components are installed per approved drawings, manufacturer requirements, and industry best practices
  • Review commissioning test plans, functional test procedures, and system acceptance criteria
  • Advise Project Managers and Program Managers to technical risks, schedule impacts, and engineering dependencies
  • Assist EPC-as-a-Service teams during pre-construction to ensure engineering alignment with pricing assumptions and scope development
  • Mentor junior engineers and elevate the technical proficiency of the broader project team

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline
  • 7+ years of solar engineering experience, including C&I and utility-scale PV system design or technical oversight
  • Strong command of electrical engineering principles and applicable codes (NEC utility interconnection requirements, IEEE standards, grounding, protection schemes)
  • Advanced experience reviewing PV system designs, electrical calculations, capacity studies, and energy modeling outputs (PVSyst or equivalent)
  • Demonstrated ability to work directly with IEs, financiers, and due diligence teams
  • Proficiency in interpreting 2D electrical and mechanical drawings, 3D spatial layouts, and complex system documentation
  • Expertise in PV components and system integration, including racking, modules, inverters, combiner boxes, transformers, and BOS
  • Experience resolving engineering design conflicts and driving technical decisions in complex field environments
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and related engineering tools; experience with Civil 3D or other 3D modeling tools is a plus
  • Working knowledge of site and civil constraints that affect PV design (grading, seatbacks, clearances, access)
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to present technical findings to non-technical stakeholders
  • Knowledge of Procore, project management tools, and document control processes
  • OSHA 10/30 preferred
Benefits
  • Competitive Salary
  • 401(k) with Company Contribution
  • Health Benefits, including Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
  • Quarterly Bonus Program
