McCarthy is seeking a Design Engineer to support the successful delivery of utility-scale renewable energy projects, including photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities. This role coordinates design activities across internal project teams, engineers of record (EORs), owners, vendors, and subcontractors to help deliver coordinated designs that meet project requirements for safety, quality, cost, schedule, constructability, and execution.

The Design Engineer will support multiple projects and assigned design scopes while developing expertise in renewable energy design, design-build/EPC delivery, project coordination, and construction-focused design management. The role is well suited for a collaborative, organized engineer who is comfortable managing details, facilitating communication, identifying issues early, and driving action to closure.

• Support the Design Manager and Pursuit Leadership team in coordinating design activities across approximately four to five projects and leading assigned design scopes.
• Coordinate design submittals, requests for information (RFIs), document control, action-item logs, comment logs, and trend logs.
• Review assigned drawings, specifications, EPC exhibits, and Basis of Design documents for alignment with project requirements.
• Identify conflicts, gaps, constructability concerns, and potential value-engineering opportunities; elevate issues and support resolution.
• Coordinate with civil, electrical, structural, SCADA, tracker, fiber, and other design disciplines to maintain alignment across scope packages.
• Schedule and support internal, external, and owner design-review meetings; prepare agendas, document decisions, and track commitments through closure.

• Review RFP documents and help identify design requirements, non-standard conditions, assumptions, and potential risks.
• Support development of Basis of Design documentation, EOR scope sheets, bid documents, and design packaging strategies.
• Collect and review EOR redlines, qualifications, proposals, and scope clarifications.
• Assist with EOR scope reviews, proposal evaluation, value analysis, and descope activities.
• Support the development of design-related contract exhibits and routing documentation under the direction of the Design Manager.
• Coordinate with pursuit, preconstruction, estimating, procurement, operations, and engineering partners to maintain alignment with project strategy, budget, schedule, and margin objectives.

• Support design coordination during preconstruction, design, construction, commissioning, and project closeout as assigned.
• Participate in site visits to strengthen relationships, increase construction awareness, and identify design implications for field execution.
• Assist project teams with design challenges and changes, including coordination of technical questions with the appropriate subject-matter experts.
• Develop an understanding of how design changes affect cost, schedule, energy production, safety, quality, risk, and constructability.
• Promote designing-for-safety…
