About The Position

This electrical engineering position involves overseeing and contributing to large-scale renewable projects, including large solar and wind projects near Earth, TX. As a project engineer, this person will be responsible for providing electrical expertise, with a focus on evaluating project drawings and handling requests for information (RFIs) across multiple projects. This resource should have 2–3 years of renewable generation project experience and should be willing and able to travel to the site. A typical day for this position will vary based on project activities. Submittals and RFIs will focus on collaborating with other engineers and project stakeholders to ensure all requirements are clearly outlined. Typical submittal activities include evaluating drawings, studies, and analyses — reviewing technical documentation to confirm that everything aligns with the project specifications and requirements. Variances to the company's master specifications will need to be communicated internally for approvals by the engineer. For construction activities, the day will be more in-person, assisting team members by addressing any electrical engineering-related questions they may have about the project. This could include clarifying details about the design or construction process and troubleshooting any issues that arise on-site. The overall responsibilities will vary from planning/reviewing to providing direct support during construction. This resource should have knowledge of how to resolve RFIs and non-conformance requests, and will work with other engineers on the project to understand and interpret design drawings, manage compliance of the construction to the design drawings, and manage RFI requests. This role involves a mix of technical collaboration and regulatory coordination with both internal and external teams, including EPC contractors, a project-specific team consisting of a project manager and engineers, a construction field team, construction managers, construction/electrical inspectors, and Project Controls cost/scheduling staff.

Requirements

Knowledge of how to resolve RFIs and non-conformance requests (NCRs).
Ability to understand, interpret, and manage design drawings and manage the compliance of construction to design drawings.

Familiarity with ProjectWise, Microsoft Office, Bluebeam, and Procore for reviewing EPC contractors' drawings and technical review communication.
Former experience working with utilities or design firms on renewable technologies is preferred on a candidate's resume.
Stable career progression and demonstrated experience completing projects; ability to speak to project experience with examples from within the United States.
3 years of electrical engineering experience, with 2–3 years specifically in the renewable generation project space (construction or engineering design).

Nice To Haves

Professional Engineering (PE) license, or Engineer in Training (EIT) certification with intent to become a professional engineer, is strongly preferred.
SAP experience is a plus.
