One of the largest electrical contractors in the US is growing its company. They have a strong reputation in the market for building value for clients, and the people within their business. This opportunity is for a Senior Civil Solar Engineer who will be responsible for managing all aspects of design specifically for renewables projects. This is a prime chance to collaborate with the preconstruction/estimating and project execution teams to ensure that the civil designs meet all applicable client requirements.

Responsibilities you can expect from this role?

• Solicit requests for proposals to various civil and structural engineering firms for potential projects and pursuits
• Develop civil and structural engineering scope of work for pursuits based on EPC contract requirements
• Refinement of EPC contracts with clients during pre-construction phase
• Interface with appropriate project management and field supervision team to provide civil engineering input and knowledge for possible projects Rosendin is pursuing
• Vet out civil engineering subconsultants
• Work with preconstruction designer to develop preliminary site layouts
• Help define site constraints and define buildable area for solar PV array
• Assist Estimating group to help approximate civil quantities for pricing exercises
• Review (QA/QC) civil and structural engineering drawing packages and calculations from contracted firms for solar PV projects
• Interface with project management team, field/operations team and other engineering disciplines to ensure all civil and structural aspects of the design are met to Rosendin standards and consider constructability and value engineering
• Attend project meetings (on-site as necessary or remotely)
• Provide alternative engineering methods related to civil and structural engineering that may offer cost savings to the project
• Interface directly with civil and structural engineering subcontractors to ensure the most cost effective and code compliant design is being considered and implemented
• Provide civil and structural engineering construction support as the project progresses, including design revisions required from unforeseen conditions, RFI review, coordination with field teams, and reporting to clients and senior management

What are the experience requirements?

• Minimum Bachelors’ degree from an accredited university or college in civil engineering, structural engineering, or environmental engineering
• Minimum of 5 years of experience working in utility-scale photovoltaic solar (strongly preferred) or large-scale land development
• Minimum 10 years of general civil or structural engineering experience
• Track record of successfully leading utility-scale (100 MW+) photovoltaic solar civil and structural designs from early project development through to construction completion
• Demonstrate an understanding of PV solar, substation, and battery storage system (BESS) basic functionality with an understanding of civil design requirements and industry/local standards for such components
• Strong background in applicable structural engineering principles (tracker post foundations, equipment pad foundations, etc.)
• Proficient in using a computer and Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, Project, Teams etc.)
• Proficient in AutoCAD Civil 3D
• Familiarity with local permitting requirements and expected timelines (stormwater, land development, etc.) in locations with high concentrations of solar development (CA, AZ, NV, TX, OH, IN, PA, VA, MD, NY, etc.)
• Experience with PV development software such as SunDAT and PVcase a plus
• A registration as a US-based Professional Engineer (P.E.) is required for this position
• Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks, changing priorities as necessary
• Ability to work with other engineering disciplines (electrical, geotechnical, etc.)

This role will require 25-40% travel, with occassional lifting of up to 30 lbs and the noise level is usually low to medium.
