Civil Engineer

About Torch Clean Energy Torch Clean Energy is a leading renewable energy developer focused on accelerating the transition to a clean energy future. We develop, finance, construct, and operate utility-scale solar, battery energy storage, and other energy infrastructure projects across the United States. In January 2025, Torch entered into a joint venture partnership with Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners to develop, construct, and operate our existing pipeline of projects while expanding our portfolio through new development and acquisitions. As Torch continues to grow, we are building an internal Engineering Team that serves as the technical backbone of project execution, risk management, innovation, and engineering excellence across our portfolio. About the Engineering Team The Engineering Team serves as Torch’s technical owner’s engineering and project integration group. The team’s purpose is not simply to review consultant deliverables, but to develop an independent understanding of project opportunities, constraints, risks, and tradeoffs so Torch can make better technical, commercial, and execution decisions throughout the project lifecycle. Team members combine discipline‑specific expertise with systems‑level thinking to help transform development‑stage opportunities into successful operating assets. The team routinely evaluates tradeoffs between engineering, constructibility, permitting, schedule, cost, financing, and long‑term operational performance to identify solutions that maximize overall project value. The team also supports engineering innovation through internal automation, software development, AI tools, and emerging technologies that improve project outcomes and decision‑making. Position Summary Torch is seeking an experienced Civil Engineer to support utility‑scale energy projects from early‑stage feasibility through final design, construction, and operations. Successful candidates are comfortable working in the technical details of engineering design and analysis while also communicating effectively with development, engineering, construction, procurement, finance, and operations teams. They understand that engineering decisions affect not only civil design outcomes, but also project economics, energy production, constructibility, permitting, schedule, financing assumptions, and long‑term operational performance. This is a hands‑on engineering role. Team members are expected to actively perform engineering analyses, develop conceptual and targeted designs, validate third‑party assumptions, investigate complex technical challenges, and build tools and workflows that improve decision‑making. At the same time, they must be capable of translating technical findings into clear recommendations and helping project teams make informed decisions. Successful candidates are naturally curious engineers who enjoy understanding how technical decisions influence project performance, constructibility, cost, schedule, permitting, and long‑term operations, and who are motivated to develop solutions that optimize the project as a whole rather than a single discipline. This role works closely with Development Project Managers, EPC Project Managers, construction teams, operations personnel, and external engineering consultants to advance projects from feasibility through commercial operation. Key Responsibilities Civil Engineering Leadership Serve as a civil engineering subject matter expert across utility‑scale energy projects. Develop conceptual, preliminary, and targeted engineering designs where internal engineering efforts provide value to project development, risk reduction, or execution planning. Perform internal engineering analyses and design focused on project feasibility, constructibility, cost optimization, risk reduction, and technical due diligence. Review and provide technical input on grading, drainage, stormwater management, erosion control, hydrology, hydraulics, access roads, foundations, and site development packages. Support site diligence activities including topographic analysis, geotechnical evaluations, hydrologic studies, environmental constraints analysis, and utility coordination. Support permitting efforts with local, state, and federal agencies.
