AESCleanEnergy is seeking an experiencedCivil Engineer to join the Civil Engineering team in supporting Strategic Development (Strat Dev), Real Estate (RE), Development (Dev), Development Engineering (Dev Eng), Execution Engineering (Exec Eng), Construction and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for design development, permitting, construction and O&M support of wind, photovoltaic (PV) and grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in coordination with the AES Clean Energy teams.
The Civil Engineer will be responsible for providing support to the Civil Engineering team and guidance to Strat Dev, RE and Dev while assisting the Dev Eng and Exec Eng group with early-through late-stage civil design plans. This role will include collaboration with Permitting, Geotech and Civil subject matter experts (SME), review of Hydrology Studies, stormwater design development, supporting entitlement acquisition, and providing Pre-construction support. As projects move from Dev Eng into Exec Eng, the Civil Engineer will support Pre-Construction, Exec Eng, Engineering Construction, Owners Eng and Procurement (EPC) detailed civil design reviews and provide Civil Engineering recommendations. Periodic support during the construction phase, collaboration with Compliance on stormwater management, support of requests for information and project close out support for wind, solar PV and BESS projects will be expected.
The Civil Engineer supports the Civil Engineering team and a larger development and execution project team and serves in support of the Subject Matter Experts (SME) for technical and engineering matters related to civil engineering design, stormwater management, and construction recommendations. This candidate will work closely with other Civil Engineering Team members and assist both Dev Eng and Exec Eng in providing oversight on conceptual through IFC designs by others. Design plan reviews may be performed, optimized, and reviewed utilizing AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Revu Bluebeam. This position requires the candidate to have exposure and knowledge of the regulatory, permitting, and construction process for land development projects. Excellent communication, task management and planning skills needed, in addition to the requirement for breadth in technical knowledge.
The successful candidate should have experience in the design, engineering and analysis of civil designs and studies, and stormwater management systems from 5-500 acres. Experience with wind, PV systems and BESS ranging from 500 kW to 200+ MW is preferable.
While civil engineering is the primary qualification, the role will require the review of information related to all practical elements of wind, PV, and BESS design. The successful applicant, while not an expert, will be comfortable with high-level review of all elements of practical wind, BESS, and PV system design.
This is a hybrid position with potential to be flexible and may include up to 25% travel to project locations and partner offices and may include international travel. Working in this hybrid position will require being close to a regional airport.
