  • Coordinate engineering Requests for Information (RFIs) and deliverables at various design stages (30%, 60%, 90%, and IFC) with EPCs, utilities, ISOs, and off-takers to meet interconnection standards.
  • Oversee detailed engineering reviews with subject matter experts and maintain close collaboration with the construction team.

Additional Engineering Tasks:

  • Identify opportunities for design optimization and cost improvements.
  • Document lessons learned from project experiences.

Other duties may be assigned as necessary.

Supervision Responsibilities: None.
