• Perform independent verification of third-party racking designs to ensure safety, reliability, and code compliance.
• Support auxiliary non-racking PV and BESS equipment foundation design, as required.

Project & Technical Leadership:

• Create structural engineering plans, details, and calculations for renewable energy and substation projects.
• Design concrete and steel foundations for project equipment to meet jurisdictional requirements at local, state, and federal levels for a variety of geotechnical parameters and soil types.
• Lead multiple concurrent projects and apply broad knowledge of structural engineering principles and practices to solve complex technical challenges.
• Independently evaluate, select, and apply standard and advanced engineering methods, procedures, and criteria.
• Serve as a primary structural point of contact for project teams within assigned portfolios.
• Coordinate closely with other disciplines (civil, electrical, and project engineering) to ensure full design alignment across project deliverables.
• Prepare project documents, including calculations, specifications, and drawings, ensuring technical quality and compliance with company and industry standards.
• Develop work plans and allocate assignments for discipline team members.
• May act as Engineer of Record for structural scope of work.

Client, Collaboration & Quality:

• Represent the structural discipline in internal and external meetings with professionalism and confidence.
• Support client interaction for multiple projects within a single portfolio, providing technical insights and resolving engineering challenges.
• Contribute to proposals for professional services, including scope definition and level-of-effort estimation.
• Provide technical support during procurement, construction, and field issue resolution.
• Mentor and support the technical development of staff engineers.
• Ensure all designs comply with applicable safety standards, codes, and practices, including ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360/341, IBC, and NDS.
• Develop or recommend process improvements, tools, or techniques that enhance design efficiency and consistency.
• Perform additional duties as assigned or directed.

This role contributes directly to accelerating the global energy transition by designing structural foundations for utility-scale solar and hybrid PV + BESS projects, helping to advance renewable energy infrastructure and combat climate change.

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in structural engineering with at least 2+ years focused on PV racking system foundation design, ground-mount solar, or similar steel/aluminum structures.
• Ability to evaluate and compare racking system foundations for structural integrity, constructability, and cost efficiency.
• Experience reading and interpreting site studies, geotechnical reports, multi-discipline drawings, and racking manufacture structural loading and layout drawings.
• Proficiency with structural engineering software such as RISA 3D/Foundation, Enercalc, L-PILE, or similar.
• In-depth understanding of applicable design codes and standards (ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360/341, IBC, NDS).
• Demonstrated ability to lead small teams or projects, mentor junior engineers, and manage multiple deadlines effectively.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with both analytical and creative approaches.
