Solar PV Structural Design Engineer

As a Solar PV Structural Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing both ground-mounted and rooftop solar PV power plants using AutoCAD. Your duties will include designing panel array layouts, conducting string sizing, creating single line diagrams, performing voltage drop calculations, and developing electrical wiring layouts. Additionally, you will be tasked with preparing shadow analysis reports using AutoCAD/SketchUp and generating detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) for PV power plants. In this role, you will serve as a project engineer for commercial and utility-scale solar projects. This will involve designing preliminary layouts and final permit packages tailored to meet the needs of potential clients and building property specifications. You will also take the lead on project calculations, component sizing, and overall electrical design for solar PV systems. Your responsibilities will extend to creating drawings for various solar systems such as solar carports, rooftop solar arrays, and ground-mounted solar arrays. You will utilize software tools like PVSyst, Helioscope, and SolarAnywhere to generate production models and ensure compliance with local AHJ requirements. It is crucial that you adhere to building codes, engineering practices, safety codes, regulatory codes, and NEC standards throughout the design process. Collaboration with other engineering and sales team members will be essential as you coordinate design feasibility and compatibility with the property throughout the project lifecycle. You will participate in customer meetings during both sales and construction cycles, providing assistance with system monitoring and performance analysis. To excel in this role, you should possess proficiency in the latest versions of AutoCAD and SketchUp software. Experience with PVSyst, Helioscope, and Energy Tool Base is preferred, along with a solid understanding of solar systems and working with DISCOMs. Additionally, hands-on knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will be beneficial for this position.,
