Thorough understanding of local permitting requirements and expected timelines (stormwater, land development, etc.) in areas with high concentrations of solar development.
Proficient using Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel)
Proficient using Autodesk Civil 3D.
Proficient using QGIS or ArcGIS Pro
Experience with industry typical stormwater software such as HydroCAD or similar software.
Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks, changing priorities as necessary.

Self-motivated, proactive and an effective team player.
Ability to interact effectively and professionally with all levels of employees, vendors, clients, and others.
Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, or other similar discipline.
Professional Civil Engineering license required.
Minimum 4+ years of experience.

Responsibilities

Provide early-stage Preconstruction civil design for estimating purposes through the preparation of buildable area plans, preliminary erosion control, grading plans and road design.
Prepare site constraints maps based on project entitlement and technical documents such as land surveys, hydrology/hydraulics reports, environmental constraints, geotechnical limitations, and client requests.
Prepare Schedule of Values to relay civil material types, quantities, and general earthwork scope to estimators for inclusion in cost proposals.
Participate in efforts with other engineers and construction stakeholders to optimize project layout for cost efficiency and simplicity of construction.
Delegate tasks, as needed and appropriate, to junior engineers based on project requirements and with direction from Management.
Oversee delegated responsibilities as the engineer in responsible charge.
Perform, conduct, or provide all civil engineering deliverables necessary for the project (when not delegated). This may include calculations, details, designs, memos, reports, site observations summaries, entitlement research, design specifications, drainage reports and SWPPP documentation among others.
Review project technical documents including geotechnical reports, environmental reports, ALTA and topo surveys, hydrology reports, etc. and document trouble areas for review by project stakeholders.
Lead effort for the preparation of civil construction drawings through 30%, 60%, 90%, IFR, IFC and as-built stages.
Respond to comments and RFI’s from Owners, 3rd party engineers and AHJ’s.
Assume role of CEOR for projects (where licensure allows).
Perform construction administration activities such as review of project submittals and response to RFI’s.
Lead civil team responses in weekly project calls providing updates on relevant deliverable milestones.
Participate in weekly internal calls providing project status updates to senior engineers and Rosendin management.
Assist senior engineers and team leads with project scope, budget, schedule, and resources to ensure successful project delivery within established timelines and quality standards.
Work closely with the project Operations team to get ahead of, or quickly solve, issues during construction.
Conduct site visits to perform observations of ongoing construction of PV, Substation and BESS systems for general conformance with construction documents.
Act as the SME in all civil engineering aspects for assigned projects.
Provide mentorship to junior engineers to build confidence and develop civil engineering skill sets. This will include monitoring of training plans and providing regular feedback.
Contribute to department continuous improvement efforts to drive efficiency in design, process improvement and cost reduction.
Assist in maintaining and/or developing civil department templates, standards and processes.
