AboutThe Role
This Civil Engineering Intern will assist in the designing of utility‑scale and distributed generation solar energy facilities site civil features including grading plans, pile placement and elevation plans, hydrological engineering, stormwater management plans, and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP). All site design features need to meet or exceed Conditional Use Permits requirements, building permit conditions and other site requirements.
The Civil Engineering Intern will report to the Associate Director - Civil Engineering. They will manage multiple engineering efforts with competing deadlines and resources, while working cohesively and collaboratively across company wide functional teams including Development, Engineering, Accounting, Finance, and Legal. This position is primarily design‑based with the occasional opportunity to visit project sites.
This role offers an opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in renewable energy project engineering while contributing to the successful delivery of clean energy infrastructure.
What You’ll Do- Assisting in the design of the civil engineering features for a large‑scale solar array including grading design, access roads, attachment means, and modifications to support structures.
- Collaborating with the electrical engineering team on optimizing array layouts across different topographical or site challenges.
- Formatting drawing plansets and maintaining AutoCAD template files and standards.
- Completing redlines based on reviews from Engineers, Developers and local AHJ.
- Reviewing and interpreting Geotechnical Reports as well as Wetland Delineation Reports.
- Producing cut/fill plans and quantities using AutoCAD Civil3d to ensure the solar array meets the maximum slope tolerance of the mounting system and optimizes the foundation material expenses.
- Participating in the development of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), erosion, and dust control measures for the Project.
- Reading, interpreting, and understanding project documentation with a focus on fulfilling all the permit and site requirements with value driven designs.
- Researching DOT, utility, and storm water and erosion control requirements for in or out of state jurisdictions.
- Currently enrolled in a BS Degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering from an ABET accredited university.
- Exposure to AutoCAD Civil 3D preferred.
- Exposure to HydroCAD preferred.
- HEC‑RAS or Flo2D modeling experience preferred but not required.
- Exposure to Google Earth or other mapping/GIS tools, as well as the use of online and public resources such as federal/state/county databases.
- Technology savvy with advanced computer skills.
- Strong attention to detail with a high level of integrity and…
