Senior Solar Electrical Engineer

We are currently seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Solar Electrical Engineer.

• Actively participates in many phases of photovoltaic projects, including site investigations, CAD production, design and contract documents, basic specifications, and the construction administration process.
• Responsible for full project design, and for quality of work in developing final construction documents as well as concept designs or Design Development drawings.
• Experience designing both Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and utility‑scale ground mount PV systems (5MW+).
• Exposure to BESS design is strongly preferred; ability to integrate BESS into PV system design is a plus.

• Serve as the design authority for assigned projects.
• Independently develop complete electrical designs without senior oversight or technical review.
• Take full responsibility for accuracy, constructability, and code compliance of issued drawings and calculations.
• Make final engineering decisions on system design, equipment selection, and code interpretation.
• Deliver client‑ready, permit‑ready, and IFC packages without reliance on others for technical validation.
• Work with junior staff to prepare project design drawings and calculations.
• This role requires the ability to operate as a self‑sufficient senior engineer, where designs are produced and issued with minimal to no senior technical review.
• Participate where requested in client interface and meetings.
• Ability to work within established budgets.
• Ability to independently complete tasks such as:
  Solar photovoltaic design;
  Detailed PV Syst calculations;
  Design drafting of construction documents using AutoCAD;
  Voltage calculations and conductor/raceway sizing;
  Short Circuit calculations;
  Electrical distribution design and single line preparation;
  Code review;
  Preparation of specifications;
  Perform and validate protective device coordination and relay settings (where applicable);
  Lead interconnection design strategy, including utility requirements and point of interconnection design;
  Develop medium voltage collection system design for ground mount projects;
  Evaluate and mitigate system risks (voltage rise, thermal limits, fault duty, etc.).

• Minimum 5+ years of commercial solar experience with a BS in Electrical Engineering.
• Proven experience delivering complete electrical design packages independently, not solely as part of a reviewed team structure.
• Experience working in environments where the engineer is responsible for final design issuance to clients or AHJs.
• Ability to defend design decisions directly with clients, utilities, and reviewers.
• Demonstrated ability to provide quality construction documents working in a senior level design role, while mentoring junior level design staff.
• Strong AutoCAD skills and knowledge of software.
• Computer proficiency, strong in MS Office programs (Word, Excel, Outlook) as well as production-related software (ETAP, PV Syst) and equipment.
• Good verbal and written communication skills.

• Produces permit-ready drawing sets with minimal revisions required from clients or AHJs.
• Anticipates and resolves design issues before construction.
• Operates with confidence in making engineering decisions without escalation.
• Serves as a technical leader and resource for junior staff.
