This role is key in supporting project development and engineering activities from initial feasibility through construction, requiring a strong understanding of structural engineering principles, solar racking systems, and applicable codes.

Responsibilities

Support engineering activities for commercial and industrial solar projects from development through construction.
Coordinate with internal engineering, project management, development, procurement, and construction teams to deliver technically sound and cost-effective project solutions.
Assist with engineering design reviews and technical evaluations throughout the project lifecycle.
Review structural as-built drawings and provide preliminary assessments of existing roof structural capacities for rooftop solar installations.
Evaluate structural feasibility for rooftop and ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Prepare preliminary racking and structural assessment reports while ensuring compliance with applicable building codes, ASCE standards, and project-specific requirements.
Review site geotechnical reports and evaluate foundation recommendations and structural designs for ground-mounted PV systems.
Validate structural calculations and engineering assumptions supporting project feasibility.
Apply advanced knowledge of solar racking systems to evaluate mounting solutions for rooftop and ground-mounted projects.
Collaborate with engineering consultants and equipment manufacturers to optimize structural and system designs.
Assist in identifying technical risks and developing engineering solutions that improve project constructability and cost efficiency.
Support continuous improvement initiatives related to engineering standards, production workflows, and quality assurance.
Develop and maintain engineering documentation, design standards, technical specifications, and standard operating procedures.
Ensure engineering deliverables meet Radial Power quality standards and applicable regulatory requirements.
Analyze engineering and production data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for process improvement.
Prepare technical reports, engineering summaries, and recommendations for management and project stakeholders.
