Senior Director, Technical

Role Overview

• Serve as a primary integration point between Engineering and Construction, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition from design completion into field execution.
• Provide constructability input during late-stage design phases (60%, 90%, IFC), validating that designs are aligned with practical installation methods, site conditions, and sequencing strategies.
• Collaborate with Engineering teams to incorporate execution-driven insights, field lessons learned, and Construction team into design refinement, supporting improved buildability and reduced execution risk.
• Support the Construction team to evaluate construction sequencing, logistics planning, and means and methods to enhance efficiency, reduce cost, and improve schedule performance.
• Identify and drive cost optimization opportunities across projects, including material utilization, equipment selection, installation methodologies, and construction sequencing.
• Support the Engineering and Construction teams by proactively addressing design-to-field coordination gaps, RFIs, and constructability challenges that may impact schedule or cost.
• Support Construction on risk identification and mitigation efforts, including evaluation of site access, logistics, staging, environmental constraints, and construction sequencing.
• Coordinate closely with Engineering, Procurement and Construction teams to ensure equipment selections and vendor strategies align with installation realities and do not introduce unnecessary complexity or execution risk.
• Participate in key design reviews, vendor evaluations, and EPC alignment discussions to ensure execution considerations are embedded early and consistently throughout project development.
• Track, assess, and communicate risks, cost impacts, and schedule considerations to leadership, enabling informed and timely decision-making.
• Leverage portfolio-wide lessons learned and field experience to continuously improve constructability standards, execution efficiency, and project delivery consistency.

Requirements

• Minimum of 10+ years of experience in utility-scale solar, High Voltage, BESS or infrastructure design
• Demonstrated experience working across both engineering coordination and construction execution for utility-scale PV and/or BESS projects
• Strong technical understanding of: PV systems (modules, trackers, inverters, DC/AC systems), BESS systems and integration, High-voltage substations and interconnection facilities, Civil, structural, and electrical interfaces in large-scale infrastructure projects
• Proven ability to evaluate constructability, construction sequencing, and field logistics in complex project environments
• Experience working directly with the Construction Team, OEMs, and field teams to drive execution outcomes and resolve project challenges
• Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to identify, evaluate, and communicate cost-saving opportunities and execution trade-offs
• Familiarity with engineering deliverables (e.g., site layouts, single-line diagrams, technical specifications), with an emphasis on interpretation and execution alignment
• Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering or equivalent required
• Emphasis in electrical power systems strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of project risks in solar and storage, with the ability to message to internal and external shareholders
• Understanding of permitting agency requirements and constructability concerns for utility scale solar and storage projects.
• Multitasking, dynamic, self-motivated individual able to work in groups or independently
• Ability to simultaneously support multiple development projects across multiple states and regions
• Supportive, resourceful, and willing to take on new tasks
• Excellent communication and stakeholder coordination skills, with the ability to align technical, commercial, and field perspectives.
