Working alongside the Engineering Manager, Internal Closing Team, and subject matter experts, the role connects engineering decisions with construction needs and co-manages Project Engineers. The position involves hands-on project coordination and technical problem-solving, while supporting the development of less-experienced engineers and building leadership experience relevant to future engineering and project management roles. This is a full-time, exempt, salaried position based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with up to 20% national travel for project-site visits and construction support.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, a technical field, or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience in the renewable energy or solar construction industry, or in direct engineering management on solar construction projects; solar experience is required.
• Experience leading, mentoring, or training less-experienced engineers, and interest in continuing to develop team leadership skills.
• Familiarity with utility-scale solar design documents and the practical application of engineering designs in construction.
• Knowledge of electrical design, materials, and construction methods in power systems, with a background in solar electrical systems.
• Knowledge of electrical and system studies, civil design fundamentals, solar plant SCADA requirements, and solar and battery storage equipment.
• Experience reviewing and coordinating substation designs.
• Clear communication and presentation skills, including the ability to organize and explain complex technical information using Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage competing priorities across multiple projects.
• Collaborative, solutions-oriented approach and positive attitude when working with Moss colleagues and project partners.
• Willingness to travel nationally up to 20% for site visits and construction support.

Nice To Haves

• Thorough knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) as they relate to utility-scale power plants.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate day-to-day utility-scale solar project designs, including layout, civil, structural, and electrical plans.
• Apply solar power plant design principles, including PV string sizing, DC and AC conductor and conduit sizing, and racking or tracker design and powering, to construction methodology.
• Review and coordinate the completion of solar power plant electrical and structural design studies.
• Lead permit efforts with the Engineer of Record to support timely project mobilization.
• Assist site construction teams during mobilization to ensure civil design is ready and sufficient for road installation, erosion and stormwater control, and grading activities.
• Travel to project sites across the country to connect with construction teams, understand field conditions, and provide technical support.
• Review and coordinate substation designs from medium-voltage systems, typically 34.5 kV, to the point of interconnection.
• Organize and draft engineering-related requests for information, working with preconstruction and operations colleagues to resolve technical challenges.
• Apply experience with solar and battery storage equipment, including solar panels, inverters and transformers, racking systems, and battery systems.
• Support coordination and review of solar plant SCADA requirements and designs.
• Develop, review, and approve engineering scope-of-work documents for external engineering partners.
