Engineering Manager Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Experience in managing teams of engineers and designers
• Engineering Degree, (Civil Engineering preferred).
• 5-10+ years of relevant experience in utility scale solar.
• Commercially minded engineer who can dive into details but can see how design considerations impact bigger picture (doesn’t lose the forest in the trees).
• Ability to work on projects independently, with minimal supervision, and self-review work.
• Knowledge of site capacity analysis tools or other modeling tools required
• Ability to truly evaluate new technology or tools – layout and design considerations to modules, trackers, storage, land use, etc.
• Knowledge of geotechnical and hydro engineering and impacts to overall project.
• Ability to optimize a project design, finding ways to lower the cost of a project.
• Knowledge of cost drivers for project design

Responsibilities

• Manage and bridge Development Engineering and Estimating team within broader cross-functional teams
• Opine on constructability considerations and help drive cost/benefit assessment around site conditions and design layout (early stage through EPC design work)
• Provide guidance to bound risk/opportunities on design and cost with imperfect/limited information.
• Guide discussion on sensitivities linked to project stage and available project information as project progresses through development lifecycle
• Collaborate with Optimization, Development, Permitting, EPC and Procurement teams to further build out processes and efficiencies on optimization assessments
• Participate in site visits and site assessment (impacts of site conditions, needed and timing of engineering studies, cost or design impacts of site features, etc.).
• Support buildout of tools and automation processes on design, layout, costing with optimization team with strong feedback loop with Development and EPC teams
• Value Engineering support through EPC partnerships
• Ensure EPC view on constructability, country/regional impacts to design/cost are considered within all project stages
• Focus on forward looking and innovative approaches are considered for best in market design, technology, and cost/construction considerations
• Pre-construction PV design and costing
• Design Optimization for LCOE
• Understand how design and cost considerations impact project through the project life
• Collaborative and knowledgeable on cross-functional aspects of design (cost, EPC, development, development engineering, procurement, operations)
• PV+Storage project (design and commissioning)
• Creative view to help solves challenging projects and incorporate innovation
• Able to build out cross-functional processes and communication flow to support efficiencies in growing pipeline
• Ability to effectively communicate between technical and commercial minded team members
• Experience in PV design, constructability in California, and the desert Southwest
