AboutThe Role
The Development Civil Engineer provides dedicated civil engineering support for One Energy's Community Solar and other pre-NTP development strategies. This role handles conceptual and preliminary civil scope, including stormwater management input, discretionary permit exhibits, and site constraint review. It engages earlier in the development process than our construction-tracked civil engineering roles and stays with a project through discretionary permitting.
What You'll Do- Prepare conceptual and preliminary stormwater management and Special Use Permit exhibits for Community Solar and other pre-NTP projects, including sites where local jurisdictions require stormwater design as part of discretionary permitting.
- Provide early civil engineering input on site layout and constraints, including grading, drainage, and stormwater feasibility, before a project moves into detailed engineering.
- Serve as the internal technical resource for developers on civil and stormwater questions during site selection and consultation with third-party civil engineering firms, including review of properties with prior industrial use or other known site constraints.
- Review geotechnical and wetland delineation reports to support cost-effective, buildable site designs.
- Build out stormwater and permitting reference material for priority jurisdictions to help development teams flag civil scope and permitting risk earlier in site evaluation.
- Prepare technical exhibits and provide meeting support for discretionary permit hearings, Investment Committee reviews, and other internal design reviews.
- Provide high-level stormwater and civil design summaries to support project sale and buyer diligence conversations.
- Coordinate with construction-tracked civil engineering staff to hand off projects cleanly at Notice to Proceed.
- Coordinate with electrical engineers to achieve feasible design with minimal iterations.
- Support delivery-tracked (NTP) civil engineering scope as workload and project priorities require.
- Attend community, county, township, watershed, etc meetings as necessary along with project developers.
Required Qualifications
- BS degree in Civil Engineering degree from an ABET accredited university.
- 3+ years of professional civil engineering experience, including experience with stormwater management and erosion control design.
- EIT (Engineer in Training) certification.
- Proficient with AutoCAD Civil 3D and HydroCAD.
- Experience preparing or reviewing stormwater management and site permitting exhibits for discretionary permit submissions (e.g., Special Use Permits, Conditional Use Permits).
- Experience interpreting geotechnical and wetland delineation reports.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain civil and stormwater concepts to non-technical audiences, including developers and permitting authorities.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities across different markets and jurisdictions.
- Must have a "roll up your sleeves and let's get the job done right" type attitude.
- Demonstrated qualities of integrity, credibility, and professional responsibility.
- A willingness to contribute to our culture, which thrives on building trust and holding one another accountable.
- Ability to travel periodically for site visits, agency meetings, and permit hearings; must carry an active driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred.
- Experience with MIDS/P8/Winslamm,…
