Role Summary
The Director of Engineering leads Highland's engineering and design team — drafting, project engineering, and utility interconnection — that supports a fast-moving portfolio of EV charging, battery energy storage (BESS), and edge compute sites from qualified sites through construction-ready.
This leader owns the engineering standards, the design package content and quality gates, and the throughput of the entire function, and partners with Project Development to deliver build-ready sites at portfolio scale and on an aggressive timeline.
Reporting to the Vice President, Development & Construction, the Director builds and leads a team of internal and external engineering resources. The Director serves as Highland's senior technical authority on utility and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements, owns the engineering inputs to project schedule and budget, and builds the standards, playbooks, and tooling that make design faster, more repeatable, and more cost-effective.
This position is remote with an expectation of approximately 10-15% travel.
