• Reviewing and negotiating technical exhibits within the EPC Agreement
• Supporting EPC RFP process
• Manage and respond to technical RFIs
• Coordination of Owner’s Engineering service providers
• Supply Chain and Procurement Support
• Supplier Evaluation & Equipment Bankability Due Diligence (PV modules, Batteries, Inverters, Trackers, Wind Turbine Generators, MPTs, HV Breakers)
• Supply Chain QA/QC service provider scoping and coordination
• Test Lab coordination for PV module accelerated lifetime stress testing
• Technology roadmap development based on aggregation of industry information
• Sourcing forward cost curves from qualified industry reports
• Inventory Management as needed
• Development Support: Review project constraints throughout the development process and provide final review and approval of constraints prior to an EPC RFP
• Preparing preliminary project designs
• Supporting project developers with development-stage technical deliverables (geotech, hydrology, wind/solar met campaigns, RFP questionnaires, etc)
• Coordinate with Operations & Maintenance teams to implement performance improvement recommendations.
• Asset Management feedback loop: Engaging with engineering teams on design improvements for future projects based on feedback from operational experience.
