Project Engineer; Solar EPC

Company Overview

Primoris Renewable Energy, a business within Primoris Services Corporation’s Energy segment, is a leading power generation engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) provider specializing in utility and commercial scale solar power, energy storage, solar repower, and operations and maintenance. Standing at the forefront of energy transformation, we are dedicated to doing the right thing for our customers, people, and planet – shaping a more sustainable future for generations to come.

The Project Engineer (PE) is responsible, from pre-construction through to close out phases of the project, for coordinating with internal home-office engineering and managing engineering firms to ensure the project complies with processes and standards to achieve reliable, quality, cost-effective, and safe designs. The PCE has responsibility for engineering and design technical matters at the project site. The PCE also updates, maintains, and schedules internal meetings to review engineering concerns, permits, agreements, operational planning, material issues, utility installation, and project controls related to schedule and cost performance reviews.

The PE collaborates with the home-office Project Controls team (schedule and finance) and is responsible for progress reporting, cost control analysis, project cost forecasting, cash flow development and progress reporting, change management and contingency management. The PCE is located on a project site and reports project controls related information of the daily operations of the project by working closely with the Project Manager, the Site Manager, Trade Superintendents and Field Engineers.

Field Engineers report directly to the PCE — the PCE will lead the training efforts of the Field Engineers to ensure Primoris’ processes are learned, developed, and demonstrated.
