- Develop, review, and approve critical technical deliverables internally, including single-line diagrams, layout drawings, performance models, and bills of material.

- Drive QA/QC processes and enforce compliance with NEC, IEEE/ANSI, UL, fire, building, and local grid-connection standards across all disciplines.

- Provide hands-on technical support during construction and commissioning — resolving queries, conducting site visits, and validating system performance against design criteria.

- Lead multidisciplinary design-review sessions, coordinating feedback from external consultants, project owners, permitting and construction teams while facilitating value engineering solutions.

- Prepare and manage scopes of work, RFPs, and technical specifications for external engineering consultants and equipment procurement packages.

- Conduct feasibility assessments, site due-diligence, and system sizing studies to optimize design parameters and cost profiles.

- Mentor junior engineers and designers, fostering technical growth and ensuring consistency with corporate engineering standards.

- Collaborate with internal or external development teams managing permitting, environmental, and right-of-way boundaries to ensure constraints are considered for equipment location/height, grading, structural and other design elements.

What you'll bring:

- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, architecture, or related field (master’s preferred).
