due diligence
design optimization
construction support
  • Own energy production modelling for Nexamp assets utilizing a range of modelling software (PVSYST, Helioscope, SIFT, PVCase Yield, etc.).
  • Provide technical support to Nexamp development from lead generation to NTP. Communicate with code-enforcement personne l, provide technical context for development conversations with AHJs, complete auxiliary engineering analyses as needed to advance projects (subsurface engineering investigations, glare studies, FAA reports, noise studies, etc.).
  • Lead new product and technology research initiatives; present findings and conclusions to senior leaders.
  • Review and approve equipment drawings and specifications for procurement. Review project drawings for constructability and code-compliance.
  • Coordinate project-level engineering activities between teams (Electrical, Civil, SCADA, & Design Engineering). Provide guidance and support to external engineering teams, by resolving technical issues and reducing ambiguity while weighing the impact to project risks, performance, and cost.
  • Lead technical due diligence on grid-tied generation asset designs.
  • Lead the activities of the project team to deliver optimized design and engineering packages to meet the requirements of the project schedule. Make decisions on project- and portfolio-level tradeoffs to minimize LCOE and achieve project objectives.
  • Lead process improvement initiatives and own change management.
  • Provide technical support to Nexamp construction from NTP to Substantial Completion. Drive resolutions for RFIs and technical challenges, review submittals, attend weekly construction calls as needed, and support project closeout tasks.
  • Perform site visits during construction for project assessment.
  • Develop and manage relationships with a network of vendors and engineering consultants for the entire project life cycle.
  • Support training of engineering department personnel and development of design drawing libraries.
  • Develop subject matter expertise in a technical focus area to support objectives of the engineering department.
  • Identify, track, and mitigate project risks by maintaining a project risk register and communicating risks to stakeholders.
  • Manage engineering and design to support development, permitting, interconnection, construction, and closeout phases for solar power plants and energy storage systems. Create drawings as needed to maintain project timelines. Support construction of engineering designs.
  • Independently develop and defend engineering opinions on any aspect of the PV design process (Energy modelling, Civil/Electrical/Structural design, PV+BESS, etc.).
  • Develop and maintain design/construction code expertise. Track anticipated code updates and analyze their impact on Nexamp’s Engineering standards and Procurement strategies.
