  • Contribute to the development and refinement of TERP's engineering standards, design criteria, and lessons-learned programs.
  • Ensure compliance with ISO, NERC, utility, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Technical Risk & Commercial Support
  • Identify, quantify, and mitigate technical, commercial, and execution risks.
  • Lead technical support for EPC, BOP, equipment supply, interconnection, and major project agreements.
  • Support RFP processes, technical bid evaluations, and vendor selection.
  • Perform technical due diligence for acquisitions and financing activities.

Cross-Functional & External Interface
  • Act as the senior technical interface with:

    • EPC contractors
    • Interconnecting utilities
    • Owner's engineers and consultants
    • Equipment manufacturers
    • Internal Project Delivery, Procurement, Development, Asset Management, and Operations teams

  • Provide executive-level technical updates and recommendations to project and senior leadership.

Construction & Commissioning Support
  • Provide strategic on-site technical support for complex issues, quality control, and commissioning activities.
  • Lead technical resolution of major field issues and change orders.
  • Ensure successful project handoff to Operations, including performance validation and documentation.

Portfolio & Resource Leadership
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to Project Engineers and external consultants.
  • Support prioritization and coordination of engineering resources across projects.
  • Champion engineering excellence, safety, standardization, and continuous improvement across the fleet.

Skills & Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent technical experience required
  • Minimum 7 years of experience in power or renewable energy engineering, with strong involvement in utility-scale project delivery
  • Deep technical knowledge of solar, wind, and/or battery storage systems
  • Strong experience with EPC project execution and major equipment procurement

  • Strong understanding of PJM and/or SERC interconnection and permitting processes preferred
