• Conduct layout analysis in Geographic Information System (GIS) platforms like Google Earth and ArcGIS.

Supporting or managing various initiatives such as:

• Analyzing and implementing the use of professional software and tools like AI to:
• Site Diligence Scope of Work Creation: Developing scope of work documents based on layout parameters for more consistent and streamlined planning.
• Site Diligence Report Reviews: Automating the review of hydrology, topographic surveys, and geotechnical reports to summarize key issues in a standardized template. This would also include calculating associated costs using values provided by our team.
• Cost Estimating Tool Integration: Exploring visualization tools to read input parameters and integrate with our Excel‑based indicative cost estimating tool to produce accurate cost estimates with minimal engineering input.
• Team Reporting: Assisting in generating reports aligned with our existing templates in Loop.
• Resource Forecasting: Creating and maintaining a dynamic resource forecast for my team.
• Energy Model Reviews: Reviewing standardized energy model files to flag key points and deviations exceeding a certain threshold.
• Supporting development or updates to Clearway’s wind cost estimating tool.
• Supporting updates or improvements to a Clearway Energy cost estimate database tool.
• Improving our process for site optimization to increase project margin across our platform and develop a way to document these improvements.
