Senior Civil Engineer - Level 4

About the Role

• Ensure project compliance with federal, state, and local zoning, land use, and environmental regulations. • Lead civil engineering workstreams within multi-disciplinary project teams, ensuring alignment with electrical, structural, and construction teams. • Review and approve foundation designs, soil stabilization plans, and geotechnical analysis for racking and battery installations. • Oversee grading optimization strategies, site layout refinement, and cut/fill balance planning to minimize construction costs. • Act as a key technical advisor on site development methodologies, construction feasibility, and permitting pathways. • Drive quality control (QA/QC) for civil engineering deliverables, ensuring designs meet EPC execution and operational requirements. • Lead detailed stormwater management and hydrology modeling efforts, ensuring compliance with NPDES, SWPPP, and local stormwater regulations. • Participate in industry research, technology evaluation, and process improvement initiatives to enhance engineering efficiency. • Manage drainage and floodplain impact studies, designing effective retention basins, culverts, and erosion control systems. • Develop and submit stormwater permitting applications, erosion control plans, and wetland impact assessments. • Conduct civil engineering risk assessments, ensuring mitigation measures are in place for hydrology, land grading, and flood zone constraints. • Conduct site visits and geotechnical evaluations, validating grading assumptions, soil stability, and drainage effectiveness. • Establish engineering best practices for grading design, stormwater modeling, and permitting strategies. • Collaborate with EPC project managers, construction teams, and subcontractors to refine site development strategies. • Manage and mentor a team of junior and mid-level civil engineers, supporting knowledge transfer and technical training. • Carry Weight: infrequently carry weight and/or lift objects (light to heavy) weighing up to 10 pounds • Troubleshoot grading conflicts, hydrology inefficiencies, and foundation engineering challenges throughout project development and construction. • Take full ownership of civil permitting processes, working directly with regulatory agencies, municipalities, and environmental consultants. • Optimize access road networks, land disturbance minimization strategies, and long-term drainage planning to support efficient operations.
