Project Engineer
Imagine a future where you help shape the engineering behind utility-scale renewable energy projects.
Join us in this role where you’ll manage engineering activities across the lifecycle of onshore wind, solar, and battery storage projects. You’ll coordinate internal and external engineering resources, identify and mitigate technical risks, and provide engineering support from development and design through construction and commissioning.
