Civil Engineer – Renewables Focused

📍On-site | Houston, TX


My client, a leading developer in the renewable energy space, is seeking a talentedCivil Engineerto join their growing teamon-site in the Houston area. In this role, you’ll be a vital technical leader responsible for shaping the physical foundations of large-scale solar and wind projects—from transforming raw site conditions into optimized designs to guiding projects through permitting, procurement, and construction.


This isn’t a remote or purely office-based position. You’ll work hands-on with cross-functional teams, engage directly with construction activities, and see your designs come to lifeon the ground where the projects happen. If you’re passionate about renewable energy and want to make a tangible impact, this is the role for you.


🔑What You’ll Do

Concept & Design

  • Turn site evaluations into practical, buildable designs—grading, access roads, and drainage systems.

  • Develop early-stage documentation and Bills of Materials (BOMs) to support project planning.

Detailed Engineering

  • Review and approve 30/60/90/IFC engineering packages.

  • Coordinate with Engineers of Record (EoRs) on drawings, calculations, and permitting.

  • Manage RFIs and submittals to keep deliverables aligned with project objectives.

Procurement & Vendor Support

  • Assess civil-related vendor proposals and make performance- and cost-optimized recommendations.

  • Stay up to date on new technologies, materials, and engineering innovations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner closely with Estimating, Procurement, and Construction teams.

  • Represent civil engineering in project and client meetings.

  • Provide hands-on, on-site technical guidance during construction.

Compliance & Innovation

  • Ensure designs meet all local, state, and federal codes and standards.

  • Align work with IMS/QHSE policies and help refine internal workflows and tools.


🎯What We’re Looking For

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering

  • 2+ years of experience in infrastructure or renewable energy

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and MS Office

  • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills

  • Willingness to work

    on-site in Houston, TX

Preferred (but not required):

  • Familiarity with Procore and PVcase

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license


🌟Why This Role?

  • Shape the future of high-impact renewable projects from the ground up.

  • Collaborate with passionate professionals who are building a sustainable energy future.

  • Be part of a dynamic, fast-paced team with real opportunities for career growth.

  • Competitive pay, strong benefits, and the chance to see your work built in the field.


Physical Demands:

  • Regular on-site involvement — you’ll see your designs in action.

  • Ability to lift up to 25 lbs as needed.

  • Occasional travel to project sites.
