  • Ability to handle civil design for solar sites, especially rural/access roads, tracker foundations, racking-related earthwork, and pile-by-pile grading considerations.
  • Strong knowledge of storm water management / erosion control / drainage design, which was described as a major part of the civil scope and cost.
  • Able to coordinate engineering subcontractors and work closely with the construction team through the design lifecycle.
  • Comfortable with early-stage estimating / proposal support: defining basis of design, estimating quantities, and supporting budgets before detailed design is complete.
