Intern, Development Engineering

Description

• Review preliminary Engineering deliverables to ensure the design meets contractual, cost, and performance requirements for Clearway’s offtake customers and financing partners.
• Supporting updates or improvements to a Clearway Energy cost estimate database tool
• Resource Forecasting: Creating and maintaining a dynamic resource forecast for my team.
• Site Diligence Scope of Work Creation: Developing scope of work documents based on layout parameters for more consistent and streamlined planning.
• Assist in technology and equipment assessments to report internally on suppliers, technology, and product viability.
• Contribute to CEG’s technology roadmap, software tools, engineering capability and project management processes.
• Conduct site specific analysis to determine environmental constraints and buildable area available for project development.
• Analyzing and implementing the use of professional software and tools like AI to:
• Improving our process for site Optimization to increase project margin across our platform and develop a way to document these improvements.
• Conduct layout analysis in Geographic Information System (GIS) platforms like Google Earth, and ArcGIS.
• Cost Estimating Tool Integration: Exploring visualization tools to read input parameters and integrate with our Excel-based indicative cost estimating tool to produce accurate cost estimates with minimal engineering input.
• Supporting development or updates to Clearway’s wind cost estimating tool
• Learn how to scope and review standard due diligence deliverables required to finalize scope, project costs, schedule, energy output, and risks with an EPC contractor or Developer.
• Write, edit and/or review technical scope of work documents, specifications, procedures, site reports, feasibility studies, proposals, presentations, etc. Help review and negotiate technical aspects of EPC contracts, interconnect agreements, etc.
• Team Reporting: Assisting in generating reports aligned with our existing templates in Loop.
• Improve and manage engineering dashboards and reports used to report project status to Engineering Leadership
• Coordinate with Development team and external consultants to deliver preliminary design, site plans and equipment layouts, system cost estimates, EPC contract technical exhibits, etc.
• Energy Model Reviews: Reviewing standardized energy model files to flag key points and deviations exceeding a certain threshold
• Site Diligence Report Reviews: Automating the review of hydrology, topographic surveys, and geotechnical reports to summarize key issues in a standardized template. This would also include calculating associated costs using values provided by our team.
• Working with our scope of work and potentially our EPC partners to develop a list of value engineering items that will improve project margin across our portfolio of projects.
