Recognized as one of the Best Places to Work and Top 10 Hottest Firm by Zweig Reports and featured in Inc. 5000’s Top 250 for our staggering 1,748% growth, we're proud of what we've built and where we're headed.

We're allergic to bureaucracy, thrive on innovation, and embrace data-driven decisions. If you love collaboration, creativity, and a fast-paced environment, we might just be your perfect match!

Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Principal Structural Engineer to join and help lead our growing structural team. This role goes beyond technical design—it’s about setting direction, growing talent, driving standards, and building strong client relationships. While the focus is rooted in solar PV infrastructure, this role spans diverse structural scopes and demands a deep understanding of renewable energy project delivery.

You’ll serve as a technical authority, a team mentor, and a client-facing leader, responsible for delivering high-quality designs and growing both the capabilities and reputation of the department.


Key Responsibilities:


Technical Leadership & Oversight:

Serve as the technical lead on complex structural projects with a focus on tracker foundations, solar structural systems, and foundation remediation

Develop and maintain internal design standards, QA/QC checklists, and engineering procedures
Review and approve structural calculations, drawings, and field reports prepared by other team members
Drive technical problem-solving on challenging issues related to expansive soils, pile performance, ad-freeze, corrosion, etc.
Oversee post-installation testing programs, data analysis, and remediation recommendations


Team Development & Mentorship:

Mentor, train, and develop junior and mid-level structural engineers
Provide regular feedback, support career development plans, and help define technical training needs for the team
Collaborate with department leadership to align team structure and hiring priorities with company growth


Client Engagement & Strategic Account Management:

Act as a trusted advisor to key clients, including EPCs, developers, and tracker manufacturers
Lead technical calls, design workshops, and field investigations as a senior representative of ANS Geo
Support and lead proposal development, scoping, and pricing strategies for structural services
Participate in key pursuit efforts and help expand ANS Geo’s structural footprint across the renewables market


Project Oversight & Delivery:

Oversee delivery of multiple concurrent structural projects across various project stages
Coordinate with internal geotechnical and civil teams to ensure integrated foundation solutions
Monitor project progress, budgets, and resource allocations to meet quality and schedule expectations
Review and support RFIs, change orders, submittals, and other construction-phase deliverables


Additional Areas of Focus:

While renewable energy is the primary market, the Principal Structural Engineer will support and guide broader scopes, including:

Structural design for buildings, industrial infrastructure, and prefabricated systems
Deep and shallow foundation design, including piles, caissons, spread footings, and grade beams
Structural condition assessments and retrofit evaluations
Seismic, wind, and snow load analysis
Oversight of construction administration services, including inspection, reporting, and field modifications
Coordination with vendors and manufacturers for modular equipment and enclosure foundations


Qualifications:

Professional Engineer (PE) license (required); SE license a plus
Bachelor’s (required) or Master’s (preferred) in Civil or Structural Engineering
10+ years of progressive structural engineering experience, with at least 5 years in solar PV or renewable energy projects
Strong understanding of structural codes (IBC, ASCE 7, ACI, AISC) and geotechnical-structural interactions
Deep knowledge of structural design software (e.g., RISA, RAM, STAAD, SAP) and CAD platforms (AutoCAD)
Proven ability to lead and manage technical staff, including QA/QC and mentoring
Demonstrated experience with proposal development, client management, and business development support
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical writing and client presentations
Willingness to travel occasionally for site visits, field support, or client meetings (approx. 5%)
