Responsibilities:

  • Oversee preliminary layouts, energy modeling, and conceptual designs (PV system sizing, interconnection voltage selection, equipment selection, etc.)
  • Review site constraints using drawings, topographic surveys, shading analysis, and electrical one-lines for accuracy and feasibility
  • Support solar and BESS project optimization and value engineering, including layout refinement, loss factors, clipping, degradation, and basic BESS operating concepts that influence project value
  • Partner with the development team with technical inputs for permit and interconnection applications
  • Evaluate site constraints (shading, slope, access, interconnection feasibility)
  • Serve as engineering point of contact for EPC partners and field teams and respond to RFIs with clarity and speed
  • Conduct comprehensive QA/QC of preliminary designs and plan sets to ensure design consistency, constructability, and code compliance
  • Coordinate between engineering consultants, EPCs, and internal stakeholders
  • Maintain accurate as-built documentation, open items lists, and change tracking. Develop and lead the use of standardized templates and review checklists
  • Collaborate with Project Managers throughout pre-construction and construction activities, proactively manage the flow of technical information and deliverables to minimize last‑minute issues
