Civil Scope Engineer

DEPCOM Power has an immediate need for a Civil Scope Engineer. This role sits within DEPCOM's Civil & Structural Engineering capability and supports utility-scale solar and energy storage projects from target development through construction. The primary function of this role is to provide civil scope certainty by translating engineering requirements, site constraints, estimates, design assumptions, owner commitments, obtained permit requirements, and field needs into clear, executable scope.

The role is field-first, safety- and environmentally-compliance focused, commitment-driven, cost-conscious, and customer-aware. The selected individual will create value by contributing to the clarity, completeness, traceability, and field readiness of civil scope across estimating, engineering, project engineering, construction, environmental, and commercial interfaces.

Join our team and leverage your technical experience in civil engineering judgment, pre-construction scope discipline, and project engineering follow-through to reduce project & scope ambiguity and risk to ensure constructability, quality, and project execution readiness.

At DEPCOM, we are a field-first company that puts safety and environmental compliance first-always. We are committed to delivering superior, mutually beneficial customer experiences. Join us as we transform the future of utility-scale solar and energy storage and pursue our vision of becoming the industry's most competitive EPC and services provider.

At Koch Industries, our Principle Based Management philosophy is at the center of how we do business, and as an employee, you will begin your journey of understanding and applying the way we do business in your everyday work.

The preferred location for this role is Katy, TX. This position is not eligible for Visa Sponsorship.

• Own clear, complete, traceable, and field-ready civil scope across estimating, engineering, construction, environmental, safety, quality, and commercial functions.
• Translate site data, customer and contract requirements, design assumptions, estimates, and permit requirements into executable scope for pricing, subcontracting, design release, handoff, and field execution.
• Identify, assign, communicate, and upscale material civil risks, missing inputs, assumptions, scope gaps, dependencies, exclusions, quantity variances, and unresolved decisions before they affect safety, compliance, procurement, cost, schedule, quality, or field productivity.
• Support high-priority targets by reviewing site and design information and developing civil bid forms, estimate assumptions, customer clarifications, subcontract exhibits, and scope splits.
• Coordinate with engineers of record to review design inputs and deliverables for scope alignment, owner and permit requirements, quantity impacts, constructability, field readiness, and commercial expectations.
• Track civil quantities and cost drivers, and support timely resolution of RFIs, field questions, submittals, design clarifications, test results, nonconformances, as-built reviews, and sequencing concerns.
• Lead civil handoffs by communicating scope, assumptions, exclusions, quantities, risks, permit requirements, subcontractor boundaries, customer commitments, and open items; capture lessons learned to improve future scope definition and execution.

• Experience supporting civil engineering, civil construction, project engineering, estimating, pre-construction, or field execution.
• Experience interpreting civil drawings, specifications, scope documents, design assumptions, quantity information, and technical requirements.
• Experience coordinating work across engineering, estimating, construction, subcontractors,…
