Job description

Pure Power Engineering is seeking a Field Structural Engineer with extensive on-site experience to support our rapidly growing solar engineering portfolio. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who excels at evaluating existing structures in the field, understanding a wide range of structural systems, and translating real-world site conditions into accurate structural plans and analysis packages for solar installations.
The ideal candidate is comfortable spending significant time in the field, performing structural assessments of rooftops and ground-mounted systems, and working closely with design teams to deliver safe, efficient, and constructible solar solutions.
This is a field-intensive role requiring travel up to 75% of the time.
About Pure Power
Pure Power is an engineering firm specializing in designing big, challenging, and high-profile Solar PV systems. As a full-service engineering firm, we create the electrical and structural drawings and calculation packages for bidding, permits and construction, as well as supporting the lead up to the full engineering drawings, primarily interconnection support and electrical/structural feasibility studies.
Those that join the company have an opportunity to:
  • Work in a fast growing, exciting, & innovative industry
  • Have a career with purpose and impact on the environment
  • Contribute to the best and largest firm in the solar industry with a great reputation built over the past 10 years
  • Take pride in the fact that our services really are the best in the industry. There is no "fake it until you make it" here

Responsibilities
  • Conduct frequent field site visits to evaluate existing buildings for rooftop solar installations and structural upgrades.
  • Assess structural systems across commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities to determine solar capacity and feasibility.
  • Identify framing systems, load paths, structural materials, and connection details to support photovoltaic system design.
  • Take precise field measurements and regenerate structural drawings reflecting site conditions.
  • Perform structural analysis of existing buildings for solar mount installation to verify adequacy for additional solar dead loads, wind loads, and seismic demands.
  • Prepare calculation packages and engineering reports required for solar permit approvals for both rooftop and ground mount systems.
  • Collaborate with in-house Structural PEs and solar design teams to develop efficient structural solutions.
  • Use AutoCAD to generate structural drawings, retrofit details, and field-verified documentation.
  • Support construction teams by responding to RFIs and clarifying structural requirements.
  • Participate in project meetings with clients, contractors, and internal engineering teams.
  • Work cross-functionally with project managers, electrical engineers, and solar designers to meet client schedules.
  • Follow company engineering standards and procedures while working under senior supervision.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
