Summer Solar Performance Engineer information

What is the difference between Summer Solar Performance Engineer vs Summer Solar Design Engineer?

AspectSummer Solar Performance EngineerSummer Solar Design Engineer
Primary FocusAnalyzing and optimizing solar system performance, monitoring energy output, and troubleshooting issuesDesigning solar systems, creating layouts, and selecting components for new projects
Required SkillsPerformance modeling, data analysis, knowledge of PV systems, and software tools like PVsystCAD design, system sizing, shading analysis, and technical drawings
Work EnvironmentField testing, performance monitoring, and data analysis in solar farms or project sitesOffice-based design work, project planning, and client consultations

The Summer Solar Performance Engineer primarily focuses on evaluating and improving existing solar systems' performance through data analysis and troubleshooting. In contrast, the Summer Solar Design Engineer concentrates on designing new solar projects, creating system layouts, and selecting appropriate components. Both roles require knowledge of PV systems, but their daily tasks and objectives differ significantly, making each role essential at different project stages.

Job description

At ANS, we're not just a consulting engineering firm-we're a team of trailblazers shaping the future of multi-disciplinary engineering. Recognized as one of the Best Places to Work and Top 10 Hottest Firm by Zweig Reports and featured in Inc. 5000's Top 250 for our staggering 1,748% growth, we're proud of what we've built and where we're headed.
We're allergic to bureaucracy, thrive on innovation, and embrace data-driven decisions. If you love collaboration, creativity, and a fast-paced environment, we might just be your perfect match!
We are seeking a Project Engineer - Structural with 5-8 years of experience to support the design and delivery of foundation and structural systems across a range of infrastructure and renewable energy projects. You'll work closely with senior engineers and contribute to projects from concept through construction, with a primary focus on structural design for solar tracker systems, equipment pads, and site development structures.
This position is ideal for someone with strong technical fundamentals, work ethic, and a desire to grow into a leadership role.
Structural Design & Engineering:
  • Participate in structural engineering efforts for utility substation projects including control enclosures, transformer foundations, dead-end structures, capacitor banks, and static masts
  • Review project documents and develop structural Basis of Design (BOD), including loads, design codes, geotechnical inputs, and material assumptions
  • Design and size shallow and deep foundations (e.g., spread footings, drilled piers, embedded posts) based on geotechnical recommendations and equipment loads
  • Perform load calculations (dead, live, wind, seismic) and develop structural models using accepted FEA tools (e.g., RISA, RAM, STAAD)
  • Coordinate with geotechnical engineers to integrate foundation performance assumptions and loading capacities (e.g., LPILE, MFAD inputs)
  • Prepare structural drawings, elevations, details, and specifications using AutoCAD and/or Revit for each milestone (30%, 60%, 90%, IFC)

Client & Vendor Coordination:
  • Coordinate with electrical engineers, control enclosure vendors, transformer manufacturers, and structure suppliers to obtain and interpret structural performance requirements
  • Support client-facing meetings to present a design approach and resolve technical comments
  • Review vendor-supplied structural performance requirements and incorporate into foundation and anchorage design
  • Respond to RFIs and submittals related to structural foundations, design assumptions, and special inspections

Other Areas of Focus:
  • Provide input on internal design standards, templates, and QA/QC processes for substation projects
  • Assist in developing resource plans, scopes, and estimates for future HV structural projects
  • Collaborate with civil and geotechnical teams to ensure fully integrated substation site design
  • Stay current on relevant codes (IBC, ASCE 7, NESC, etc.), utility standards, and AHJ requirements

Team Collaboration & Growth:
  • Coordinate with internal geotechnical and civil teams for integrated design
  • Attend internal design meetings and client calls as needed to stay aligned with project objectives
  • Receive mentorship from senior engineers with the opportunity to gradually take on more responsibility
  • Participate in internal learning, development, and project closeout reviews

While the focus of this role is in renewable energy, you'll also support general structural engineering work, including:
  • While the focus of this role is in renewable energy, you'll also support general structural engineering work, including:

  • Structural design for deep and shallow foundations (e.g., spread footings, piers, caissons)
  • Design and detailing of framing systems and structural components in steel, concrete, aluminum, FRP, and masonry
  • Structural condition assessments and live load evaluations
  • Coordination with manufacturers and development of foundation designs for prefabricated structures
  • Construction support including review of change orders, submittals, and field questions

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
  • EIT certification required, PE in progress preferred
  • 5-8 years of experience in structural design, with exposure to foundation engineering, energy, or infrastructure projects
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD; experience with structural software (e.g., RISA, RAM, STAAD) preferred
  • Working knowledge of IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, and ACI standards
  • Strong attention to detail, communication skills, and willingness to learn
  • Willingness to travel (10-15%) for occasional site visits or field support
