PV Design Engineer

Our client is a rapidly growing organization delivering large-scale renewable energy infrastructure projects across the United States. Due to continued expansion, they are seeking an experienced Utility-Scale Solar Design Review Engineer to support projects 50 MW and larger by reviewing engineering deliverables, coordinating with Engineers of Record (EORs), and driving value‑engineering initiatives.

This role is not focused on detailed drafting or day‑to‑day production design. Instead, it requires prior utility‑scale experience and strong engineering judgment to evaluate designs, identify cost‑saving opportunities, and collaborate effectively with EORs and EPC partners.

• Review utility‑scale solar PV (and related BESS) design packages for constructability, cost efficiency, and compliance with project requirements
• Coordinate closely with Engineers of Record to evaluate design decisions, assumptions, and risk areas
• Identify value‑engineering opportunities to reduce capital cost and schedule risk
• Review site layouts, single‑line diagrams, and major equipment selections at a high level
• Support preconstruction, estimating, and project teams with engineering insight during proposal and execution phases
• Participate in design review meetings with internal teams, EORs, and external partners
• Conduct periodic site visits to support QA/QC and confirm alignment between design intent and construction
• Communicate clearly and effectively with engineering, operations, and executive stakeholders

• Experience reviewing utility‑scale solar PV projects 50 MW and above
• Demonstrated experience working with or alongside Engineers of Record
• Strong ability to review third‑party engineering drawings and design packages
• Background supporting EPC, owner, or developer‑side engineering functions
• Solid understanding of utility‑scale PV system design, equipment, and construction practices

• Exposure to BESS projects in a utility‑scale environment
• Background in EPC, owner’s engineering, or independent engineering
• Experience with value engineering, constructability reviews, and cost optimization
• Familiarity with multiple U.S. power markets and utility requirements

• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Collaborative and personable; able to build relationships across teams
• Practical, solutions‑oriented mindset grounded in real project experience
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, growth‑oriented environment

• Hybrid arrangement preferred; remote considered for the right candidate
• Ability to support Pacific Time Zone work hours required
• Travel expectation of approximately 40%, including recurring out‑of‑state travel
