Our client is a rapidly growing organization delivering large-scale renewable energy infrastructure projects across the United States. Due to continued expansion, they are seeking an experienced Utility-Scale Solar Design Review Engineer to support projects 50 MW and larger by reviewing engineering deliverables, coordinating with Engineers of Record (EORs), and driving value‑engineering initiatives.

This role is not focused on detailed drafting or day‑to‑day production design. Instead, it requires prior utility‑scale experience and strong engineering judgment to evaluate designs, identify cost‑saving opportunities, and collaborate effectively with EORs and EPC partners.

Key Responsibilities

Review utility‑scale solar PV (and related BESS) design packages for constructability, cost efficiency, and compliance with project requirements

Coordinate closely with Engineers of Record to evaluate design decisions, assumptions, and risk areas

Identify value‑engineering opportunities to reduce capital cost and schedule risk

Review site layouts, single‑line diagrams, and major equipment selections at a high level

Support preconstruction, estimating, and project teams with engineering insight during proposal and execution phases

Participate in design review meetings with internal teams, EORs, and external partners

Conduct periodic site visits to support QA/QC and confirm alignment between design intent and construction

Communicate clearly and effectively with engineering, operations, and executive stakeholders

Required Technical Qualifications

Experience reviewing utility‑scale solar PV projects 50 MW and above

Demonstrated experience working with or alongside Engineers of Record

Strong ability to review third‑party engineering drawings and design packages

Background supporting EPC, owner, or developer‑side engineering functions

Solid understanding of utility‑scale PV system design, equipment, and construction practices

Preferred Experience

Exposure to BESS projects in a utility‑scale environment

Background in EPC, owner’s engineering, or independent engineering

Experience with value engineering, constructability reviews, and cost optimization

Familiarity with multiple U.S. power markets and utility requirements

Soft Skills & Cultural Fit

Strong verbal and written communication skills

Collaborative and personable; able to build relationships across teams

Practical, solutions‑oriented mindset grounded in real project experience

Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, growth‑oriented environment

Work Location & Travel

Hybrid arrangement preferred; remote considered for the right candidate

Ability to support Pacific Time Zone work hours required

Travel expectation of approximately 40%, including recurring out‑of‑state travel

Seniority level Mid‑Senior level

Employment type Full‑time
