Sr. Project Engineer

A DAY IN THE LIFE

As a Senior Project Engineer, you'll lead the engineering execution of utility-scale renewable energy projects from project award through construction and closeout. You'll serve as a key technical resource, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, innovative, and cost-effective engineering solutions while ensuring projects remain on schedule, within budget, and aligned with client expectations.

A typical day may involve coordinating with Owners, Engineers of Record (EOR), Construction, Integrated Supply Chain, Project Management, and internal engineering teams to review designs, manage technical deliverables, resolve field issues, support procurement activities, and guide engineering decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

You'll help transform engineering concepts into successful projects by ensuring designs are constructible, code-compliant, and ready for execution while mentoring junior engineers and continuously improving engineering standards across the organization.
