Job ‑7571, Category:
Engineering. This role requires coordination of engineering projects, overseeing design phases, performing calculations, interpreting drawings, and coordinating multidisciplinary teams on clean energy and power delivery projects.

We offer a competitive compensation package, family‑friendly benefits, a collaborative working environment, and the training, mentoring and resources you need to advance in your career.

• Plan, schedule, conduct and coordinate detailed phases of engineering work for major projects or in total project authority.
• Work on all phases of design and provide industry‑related services throughout the project life cycle.
• Perform engineering calculations, interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
• Prepare proposals, including scope, schedule and fee, and assist in written technical proposals.
• Develop professional relationships through active participation in industry associations and community involvement.
• Coordinate the work of multiple engineering disciplines, perform drafting/CADD work as needed.
• Train and develop less experienced staff.
• Conduct site visits to gather data, including measurements, sketches, notes and photographs.
• Review and approve shop drawings to ensure they meet project requirements.
• Consult and coordinate with other practices and sub‑consultants to ensure project success.
• Attend bi‑weekly (or more frequent) project team meetings to discuss progress and tasks.
• Ensure compliance with ISO requirements and maintain projects within specified budget parameters.
• Complete all tasks on time, within budget, and fully meet project scope.
• Achieve or exceed budgeted individual utilization targets.
• Comply with all company policies and procedures.

• Advanced experience supporting clean energy engineering projects, including utility‑scale solar PV, battery energy storage (BESS), and other renewable generation facilities from concept development through IFC design packages.
• Development of detailed electrical design deliverables: one‑line diagrams, protection and control (P&C) drawings, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, and equipment layouts for power generation and interconnection projects.
• Perform and support engineering calculations such as load summaries, cable sizing, equipment selection, and integration of electrical study outputs into design documents.
• Strong understanding of interconnection requirements and the interface between clean generation facilities and utility transmission and substation systems.
• Coordinate with Transmission and Substation engineering teams to align collector systems, interconnection substations, grounding strategies, protection schemes, and utility compliance requirements.
• Coordinate across multidisciplinary teams to support successful project execution and integrated delivery of clean energy and power delivery infrastructure.
• Interpret engineering drawings, client standards, and technical specifications to develop coordinated and constructible design packages.
• Familiarity with electrical system study tools and outputs, including PSCAD and PLSCAD, load flow, short‑circuit, and relay coordination analysis, and translating study results into practical design solutions.
• Proficiency using AutoCAD and/or Bentley Micro Station for engineering design production and drawing development.
• Working knowledge of substation physical design principles: equipment arrangement, conduit routing, grounding, cable systems, and constructability considerations.
• Support multiple phases of design: conceptual development, detailed engineering, IFR/IFC packages, construction support, and as‑built updates.
• Field coordination experience: testing, energization, commissioning, and site walk‑downs for clean energy or power delivery projects.
• Knowledge of applicable codes and standards: IEEE, NEC, ANSI, and utility‑specific design criteria.
• Mentor junior engineers and designers, providing technical guidance and supporting professional development.
