The positionisat one of the AES Renewablesoffices or remote and will include up to 25% travel to project locations and partner offices.

Key Responsibilities

Project Development

• Provide support forearly-stagefoundation designoptionsfor project estimating purposes.

• Collaborate with external engineeringvendorsto develop conceptual design approaches and tools for various foundation systems (e.g.,piles,anchorssystems,grade beams, helical foundations).

• Support innovation and standardization of conceptual design methodologies across foundation types.

• Review and occasionally provide preliminary structural designs for projects in early development

• Review of geotechnical reports for structural impacts on projects in development

Project Execution

• Supportproject engineeringwithexternalOwner's Engineer (OE) engagementswithSOW,vendor coordination,and reviewingproposals.

• Support Project Engineers inprocuringOE servicesand/or external services; ensure consistent, high-quality reviews.

• SupportOE reviews as needed

• Provide technical input, design solutions, and reviews for structural deliverablesidentifyingareasfor valueengineering (e.g., PV Racking, BESS, HV Substation and Gen-Tie/Overhead line)

• Review and comment on structural engineeringcalculations,studiesand RFI'sacross projects(e.g.,designcalculations,snow, wind, corrosionstudies)

• Review design packages for conformancewith industry codes andstandards, prudent industry practices, AEScontractual technicalspecificationsand AHJ requirements.

• Perform site visits to assess structural issues during construction and operations.

• Support or performroot-cause analysis for structural issues.

• ConductJob Site Assessment(JSA)sand safety walks toidentifyjob-site hazards.

• Coordinate withHVand project engineers toassessand provide recommendations toproject schedules.

Engineering Support

• Build andmaintaina database of foundation designs (historical and current).

• Analyze design evolution (e.g., steel tonnage from concept to IFC) to guide cost and design decisions.

• Provide rapid, data-backed material impact estimates for design changes

• Draft and update structural specifications tocurrent industry practices and trendsby incorporating lessons learned from past projects.

• Verify structuralcalculationsarecompleteand recommendations are incorporated into construction documents.

• SupporttheProjectManagement andEngineering to troubleshoot issuesduring construction or operations and maintenanceand develop repair/remediation options.

• Support the Innovation team with product reviews related to structural design.

Growth and Leadership

• Develop tools, guidance, and training to enable Project Engineersand otherengineering staffto review structural designs independently.

• Serve asSMEfor complex or ambiguousstructuralengineering review outcomes.

• Continuously improve internal design- reviewand QA processes.

• Contribute to AESRenewablesgrowth planning through process-improvement task forces and strategic initiatives.

• Develop and refine tools for structural concept design and estimating.

• Provide supportfor field design issues and escalate to external engineering when needed.
