About The Position

This civil engineering position involves overseeing and contributing to large-scale wind projects. As a project engineer, this person will be responsible for providing civil expertise, with a focus on evaluating project drawings and handling requests for information (RFIs) across multiple projects. The project overview includes large projects near Earth, TX — specifically two large wind facilities that have started design. 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 civil engineering position will vary based on the 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. These activities will involve reviewing the 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 civil 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 the construction. This resource should have knowledge of how to resolve RFIs and non-conformance requests. This resource will work with other engineers on the project to be able to understand and interpret design drawings, managing the compliance of the construction to the design drawings, and managing RFI requests. The engineer will be supporting a multifunctional group that includes various internal business units and external stakeholders. This position will primarily collaborate with facility operations and other internal departments. This role involves a mix of technical collaboration and regulatory coordination with both internal and external teams. This resource will also work with EPC contractors in addition to a project-specific team consisting of a project manager and engineers, construction field team, construction managers, and construction/civil inspectors. This resource will also be working with the Project Controls cost/scheduling staff. This resource will be working with external equipment suppliers and contractors who have direct contractual agreements with the client.

• Willingness and ability to travel to project sites and work onsite with the project team
• Stable career progression and demonstrated experience completing projects; ability to speak to project experience and provide examples from within the United States
• 9 years of civil engineering experience, with 5–7 years specifically in the renewable generation project space (construction or engineering design)
• Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

Nice To Haves

• Professional Engineering (PE) license, or Engineering in Training (EIT)/certification to become a professional engineer — strongly preferred
• Familiarity with SAP — a plus
• Former experience working with utilities or design firms on renewable technologies
• Experience in a large matrixed organization demonstrating cross-functional collaboration
• 5–7 years of civil engineering experience with 2–3 years specifically in the renewable generation project space (construction or engineering design) — noted as the ideal candidate background
• 2–3 years of renewable generation project experience (minimum baseline)

Responsibilities
