LPL Solar LLC
Job Title:
Civil Design Engineer
Department:
Engineering
Reports To:
Director of Engineering
Location:
Remote
Employment Type:
Full-Time, Exempt
Position Summary The Civil Design Engineer will support the development, design, and execution of large-scale solar PV projects within an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) environment. This role focuses on the civil and site engineering aspects of utility‑scale solar projects—from conceptual design and permitting through detailed construction documents and as‑built closeout. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of grading, drainage, stormwater management, and site layout, with the ability to integrate engineering principles into efficient, constructible, and cost‑effective solar designs.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and review civil site designs including grading, drainage, access roads, foundations, and stormwater systems for utility‑scale solar projects
Prepare and/or review design deliverables such as site plans, grading plans, erosion control plans, and construction details
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (electrical, structural, geotechnical, and construction) to ensure coordinated project designs
Support permitting efforts by preparing civil design documentation and responding to jurisdictional comments
Perform site analysis using topographic data, geotechnical reports, and hydrology studies to guide design decisions
Utilize civil engineering and CAD software (e.g., Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Hydraflow, HEC‑RAS, or similar) to produce detailed and accurate drawings
Evaluate constructability and provide field support during construction, including review of RFIs, submittals, and redlines
Assist in developing civil design standards, templates, and best practices for continuous improvement
Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, including stormwater management, environmental, and permitting requirements
Qualifications Education & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related discipline required
3–5 years of experience in civil/site design, preferably in renewable energy, infrastructure, or land development projects
Experience working in an EPC or design-build environment preferred
Technical Skills
Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D and other civil design tools
Strong understanding of hydrology, grading, and drainage design principles
Familiarity with solar plant layout and interconnection concepts a plus
Knowledge of permitting processes and environmental compliance requirements
Soft Skills
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
Excellent written and verbal communication
Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across teams
Attention to detail and commitment to delivering high‑quality work
