Design Engineer

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.

Key Responsibilities:

  • 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.

Top Technical Skills Required:

  • AutoCAD Proficiency:

    Ability to review, modify, and refine drawings with a critical eye for accuracy.

  • Planned Set and QC Review Experience:

    Strong understanding of drawing sets and the ability to identify key details that affect project execution.

  • 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.
