How to Apply for Civil Design Engineer II

at Revamp Engineering

🏢 About Revamp Engineering

Revamp Engineering uniquely focuses exclusively on renewable energy projects, specifically utility-scale developments that have significant environmental impact. Their mission-driven approach to 'design a cleaner future' attracts professionals who want their engineering work to directly contribute to sustainability and climate solutions.

About This Role

As a Civil Design Engineer II, you'll create AutoCAD and Civil 3D designs for utility-scale renewable energy sites, working on grading, drainage, and access road layouts. This role is impactful because your designs directly enable the construction of solar and wind projects that replace fossil fuel energy sources.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves developing Civil 3D models for solar farm site layouts, coordinating with electrical engineers on equipment placement, preparing technical documentation for permitting, and participating in virtual team meetings to align design approaches across disciplines. You'll balance independent design work with collaborative problem-solving on project constraints.

🎯 Who Revamp Engineering Is Looking For

  • Has 3-5 years of experience creating civil engineering designs in AutoCAD/Civil 3D specifically for land development projects
  • Demonstrates experience with grading, drainage, and access road design for large-scale sites (utility-scale preferred)
  • Can work independently on small projects while collaborating effectively in multidisciplinary teams
  • Shows genuine interest in renewable energy and understands how civil engineering supports solar/wind project development

📝 Tips for Applying to Revamp Engineering

1

Quantify your AutoCAD/Civil 3D experience with specific project types (e.g., 'designed grading for 50-acre solar farm' rather than 'experienced with AutoCAD')

2

Highlight any renewable energy project experience prominently - even if tangential, show how your skills transfer to utility-scale projects

3

Mention experience with jurisdictional permitting processes for land development, which is crucial for renewable projects

4

Demonstrate remote work discipline by describing how you've successfully collaborated on engineering projects virtually

5

Connect your technical skills directly to Revamp's mission - explain how your civil engineering work can contribute to cleaner energy

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience with AutoCAD/Civil 3D for land development designs', 'Examples of working on portions of larger projects with guidance from senior engineers', 'Understanding of how civil engineering supports renewable energy project success', 'Ability to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams on complex projects']
