Job Title: Civil / Structural Engineer – Utility-Scale Solar PV & BESS Projects
Location: Texas, USA
Project Type: Utility-Scale Renewable Energy / Solar PV / BESS
Position Type: Project-Based / Field-Oriented Role
Project Type: Utility-Scale Renewable Energy / Solar PV / BESS
Position Type: Project-Based / Field-Oriented Role
Position Overview
We are seeking a qualified Civil / Structural Engineer with direct experience supporting utility-scale renewable energy projects, specifically Solar PV and/or Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The ideal candidate must have hands-on field experience reviewing, supervising, and verifying civil and structural construction activities in accordance with IFC drawings, project specifications, and applicable standards.
This role is intended for candidates with practical construction-site experience, not only design, FEED, EPC office support, or structural calculation review.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and supervise civil and structural construction activities on utility-scale Solar PV and/or BESS projects.
- Verify construction work against IFC drawings, approved specifications, project standards, and applicable codes.
- Monitor and inspect earthworks, grading, site preparation, drainage, and civil works.
- Review and supervise installation of foundations, piles, concrete structures, equipment foundations, and related structural components.
- Oversee and verify construction of steel structures, racking systems, mounting systems, and solar support structures.
- Coordinate with EPC contractors, subcontractors, field crews, engineering teams, and project stakeholders.
- Identify construction deviations, quality issues, and non-conformances, and support corrective actions.
- Review field documentation, inspection reports, construction progress, and technical queries.
- Support site coordination, schedule alignment, and construction quality compliance.
- Participate in field walks, inspections, and construction progress meetings.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- Minimum of 7 years of relevant civil/structural engineering experience.
- Direct experience in utility-scale renewable energy projects, preferably Solar PV and/or BESS.
- Proven field experience with earthworks and grading.
- Proven experience with foundations, piles, concrete structures, and structural concrete works.
- Experience with steel structures, solar mounting systems, racking systems, or similar structural support systems.
- Demonstrated experience verifying construction compliance against IFC drawings, project specifications, and applicable standards.
- Experience supervising or supporting construction activities directly in the field.
- Ability to coordinate effectively with EPC contractors, subcontractors, engineering teams, and site personnel.
- Strong understanding of construction quality control, inspection processes, and field documentation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience on large-scale Solar PV projects.
- Experience with integrated Solar PV and BESS facilities.
- Experience working on Owner’s Engineer, EPC, or field construction management teams.
- Familiarity with civil/structural standards, construction codes, and renewable energy project requirements.
- Experience with QA/QC documentation, NCRs, RFIs, field reports, and construction punch lists.
- PE license or EIT certification is a plus.
Important Experience Requirement
Candidates must clearly demonstrate experience in the following areas:
- Solar PV, BESS, or renewable energy projects
- Earthworks and grading
- Piles and foundation systems
- Concrete structures
- Steel structures and mounting systems
- IFC drawing review and construction compliance verification
- Direct field supervision or construction-site oversight
Candidates whose experience is limited primarily to structural design, FEED/EPC office support, calculation packages, or drawing review without direct construction field supervision may not be considered a full match for this role.
About the Role
This position requires a practical, field-oriented Civil / Structural Engineer capable of working closely with construction teams and verifying that the project is executed according to approved drawings, specifications, and standards. The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring quality, compliance, and technical accuracy during construction execution.
