Coordinate review and evaluation of solar project EPC civil design packages (site, grading, drainage/stormwater, ESC, roads, and details) across design stages (e.g., 30/60/90/IFC) for constructability and permit compliance. Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders (environmental/permitting, survey, geotechnical, EPC, and construction) to provide engineering support for the safe and reliable development of solar generation facilities. Evaluate civil design approaches and construction methods that improve constructability, reduce rework and change orders, and support environmental compliance (e.g., earthwork balance, drainage improvements, ESC phasing, access/haul routing). Provide site/civil engineering support to construction, operations, and other company engineering groups including review/response of RFIs, field change evaluation, civil QA/QC of as‑builts, procedures, and testing/inspection documentation (e.g., compaction, SWPPP/ESC documentation). Review grading models/earthwork quantities and coordinate with survey and geotechnical recommendations to confirm assumptions for cut/fill, subgrade preparation, and compaction requirements. Support stormwater management and ESC/SWPPP compliance during construction including review of ESC plans and phasing, readiness for inspections, and response to permitting/JHA comments as applicable. Coordinate civil interfaces with other scopes including underground MV/communication trenches, HDDs, ductbanks, inverter/transformer equipment pads, O&M building foundations, and substation/switchyard grading tie‑ins. Develop and maintain civil design requirements for the company’s EPC contracts. Perform other duties as requested or assigned. Qualifications Engineer: 2+ years of relevant engineering experience.

Experience with site/civil engineering for utility‑scale renewable generation (solar PV preferred) including construction support and EPC plan set reviews. Proficiency reviewing and/or developing civil deliverables: grading plans, drainage and stormwater management (SWM), culverts/channels, and erosion & sediment control (ESC) plans (SWPPP familiarity strongly preferred). Experience supporting construction: civil RFIs, field changes, quantity verification, survey coordination, geotechnical recommendations (subgrade/compaction), and review of civil as‑builts and closeout documentation. Knowledge of site access/haul road design, construction phasing/temporary works, and common tools used for plan review and coordination (e.g., AutoCAD/Civil 3D, Bluebeam, and quantity takeoff methods).
