Lead Solar Project Engineer

Company introduction Project Management and Construction is an organization responsible for delivering new power generation projects from development through engineering, construction, commissioning, and turnover. The group supports a growing generation portfolio, including utility-scale solar, battery energy storage (BESS), natural gas generation, and other emerging technologies. Within PMC, Project Engineering provides the technical leadership needed to align design, construction, commissioning, and interconnection activities so projects are delivered safely, reliably, and ready for operation. Role summary / purpose The Renewables Project Engineer leads technical execution for Solar, BESS, and Solar-plus-Storage projects by coordinating across teams of discipline engineers, project managers, project controls, equipment suppliers, engineering consultants, Transmission Owners/Providers, and EPC contractors to deliver technically complete and compliant projects. The role sets expectations for the design schedules, deliverable ownership, review cycles, and comment resolution, while monitoring technical dependencies and driving readiness for construction and commissioning. The Renewables Project Engineer also leads the project-side coordination of transmission interconnection technical reviews, ensuring the plant's design, controls, models, studies, settings, and commissioning evidence are ready to support interconnection milestones. The role actively identifies interconnection risks, resolves cross-functional issues, escalates barriers, and keeps technical work aligned with project and interconnection milestones. Through this leadership, the Project Engineer helps ensure technical risks, requirements, dependencies, and readiness items are visible, understood, and actively managed throughout the project lifecycle.
