About This Role

Geronimo Power is seeking a Civil Engineer III to lead and support civil engineering activities across the project lifecycle for utility-scale energy and digital infrastructure projects, including development, permitting, procurement, design, construction, operations, and continuous improvement.

Working with substantial independence and in partnership with senior engineers and cross-functional stakeholders, the Civil Engineer III evaluates technical information, coordinates complex engineering activities, resolves design and field issues, and helps ensure projects meet safety, permitting, constructability, quality, schedule, cost, and contractual requirements.

Responsibilities

• Lead and support civil engineering activities from preliminary site evaluation and preconstruction planning through RFP development, project award, construction, and operations.
• Conduct design reviews, in coordination with owner’s engineers, for grading, drainage, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, access roads, and related infrastructure; coordinate input from internal reviewers and key stakeholders.
