The Opportunity

Atwell’s Power & Energy team is hiring a senior civil professional to lead site development for large-scale renewable projects. You’ll own scope, schedule, and budget; direct multi-disciplinary design; and serve as a primary client interface from early feasibility through IFC and construction support.

What You’ll Lead (Day-to-Day)

Project ownership: Drive civil workstreams (site planning, grading, drainage, roadways, stormwater, erosion/sediment control) from feasibility and 10/30/60/90% through IFC and as-built.
Design management: Set design criteria; review/approve calculations, plans, and specs; enforce QA/QC and Atwell standards.
Multi-discipline coordination: Align civil with electrical collection, substation, environmental/permitting, and survey; resolve interfaces and constraints.
Permitting & entitlement: Lead submittals and responses with AHJs (SWPPP, NPDES, grading, access/ROW, drainage reports, floodplain, utility coordination).
Client/PM responsibilities: Manage schedules, budgets, risks, and change orders; run progress meetings; present technical findings and value-engineering options.
Construction support: Provide RFIs responses, design clarifications, cut/fill optimization, access improvements, and field reviews/site walks as needed.
Team leadership: Mentor and direct engineers/designers; delegate production tasks; develop best practices and reusable details/standards.

Core Responsibilities (Technical)

Utility-scale site layout optimization for PV arrays and BESS yards (setbacks, topographic constraints, access, O&M, drainage).
Grading/earthwork (mass balance, constructability on variable terrain; under-rack grading; tracker constraints).
Hydraulics & hydrology (detention/retention, culverts, channels, outfalls, floodplain impacts).
Stormwater & erosion control plans (SWPPP, BMPs) tailored to phased construction.
Reports & deliverables: Civil basis-of-design, drainage/H&H reports, quantity takeoffs, opinions of probable cost, and IFC package leadership.

Tools You’ll Use

AutoCAD & Civil 3D (surfaces, corridors, grading, pipe networks, sheet sets).
H&H modeling: HEC-RAS/HEC-HMS (or Hydraflow equivalents).
Nice-to-have: GIS workflows, Bluebeam, Procore, PV-adjacent tools (e.g., PVcase Civil or similar), glare/reflectivity assessments, and basic 3D earthwork tools.

Qualifications

BS in Civil Engineering (MS a plus).
8–12+ years of civil/site design with at least 4+ years in utility-scale solar/BESS or comparable large infrastructure.
PE license (or ability to obtain in short order) strongly preferred.
Proven project management experience (scope, schedule, budget, risk, change management).
Demonstrated success leading multi-disciplinary design teams and mentoring junior staff.
Willingness to travel periodically for site walks, permitting meetings, and construction support.

Par Range - $100,000 - $150,000 Base + bonus.
