Responsibilities

Design and engineer utility scale solar PV projects using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and PVcase.

Prepares drawings for civil and structural aspects of PV design, plus detailed diagrams (such as single/three-line diagrams) for the PV and general project systems.

Act as QA/QC for OE generated preliminary and detailed designs for quality, accuracy, and adherence to Avangrid standards.

Serve as engineering technical interface with key Avangrid stakeholder teams, including GIS, Development & Origination, Environmental & Permitting, Transmission/Interconnect, Capital Estimating, Scheduling, Meteorology, Project Engineering, and Project Management, to advance development projects to investment approval.

Direct electrical and civil design basis, scope documentation, engineering and design of preliminary transmission, substation, and balance of plant design for wind, PV, and BESS projects.

Define base cases and evaluate alternative configurations.

Coordinate multi-disciplinary design reviews and optimization while identifying cost and other value engineering opportunities.

Support transmission interconnection planning, contracting, and transmission owner coordination. Manage electrical studies to define electrical parameters of the project and components, including review and input into interconnection study reports, and definition of grid integration and interconnection requirements.

Coordinate engineering with permitting requirements to ensure designs respect wetlands, sensitive areas, stormwater treatment, erosion and sedimentation requirements, and all other identified constraints.

Effectively manage external engineering partners.

Lead collaborative analysis and review of projects, studies, and best practices with Global Engineering groups.

Ensure project risks are identified, understood, and addressed prior to investment approval.

Oversee quality aspects of engineering, including compliance with design standards and accuracy of documentation, field analysis and reporting, and test data.

Contribute to development and maintenance of design standards and criteria for project infrastructure.

Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders throughout project development to ensure that construction and operational requirements and lessons learned have been appropriately considered.

Collaborate with the project execution team as needed for smooth transition from Development to Construction.
