Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled Design Engineer to manage projects from inception through post-construction, with a primary focus on new construction and interconnection coordination. The ideal candidate will be a subject matter expert (SME) in the design process, ensuring seamless integration of all project components while meeting permitting and interconnection requirements.

Oversee the entire design lifecycle, from initial planning to post-construction phases.
Ensure all interconnection requirements are met and proactively identify necessary blocking.
Review and approve planned drawing sets, ensuring proper coordination with drafters.
Conduct quality control (QC) reviews to finalize permit-ready designs.
Work closely with drafters, providing guidance and ensuring adherence to design standards.
Collaborate with consultants and general contractors (GCs) to maintain seamless project execution.
Utilize AutoCAD to verify and refine designs, particularly given the team's varied experience levels.
Maintain organization and accuracy across multiple projects using Google Sheets, Procore, and other project management tools.

Interconnection Coordination Expertise:
Deep knowledge of electrical and structural design to ensure compliance with interconnection requirements.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with Helioscope (not required but a plus).
Familiarity with Google Sheets and Procore for document tracking and project management.
Previous experience working directly with GCs and consultants to facilitate project success.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail to manage multiple projects efficiently.

This role requires a high level of expertise, and successful transitions into this department have been rare due to the technical skill threshold. Only candidates with proven experience in design engineering and a track record of independent project execution will be considered.
