About the Role

~2 min read

As a Principal Engineer, you’ll lead and coordinate the workloads of larger design teams across a portfolio of renewable energy projects (PV, BESS, HV). You’ll be accountable for adherence to technical standards, design quality, and on-time delivery, while developing the team and supporting clients and business growth.

  • Provide technical leadership for structural analysis and design of foundations (driven piles, screw and helical piles, and cast-in-place concrete), overhead steel structures, building envelopes, and non-building structures on the most complex projects. 

  • Establish and govern code and standard approaches — ASCE 7, IBC, NESC, ASCE 113, IEEE 693, and NFPA — as the technical authority. 

  • Set and drive adherence to applicable Client, EPC, Owner, and Utility standards across the discipline. 

  • Provide senior oversight of specifications and contract requirements with project managers and client representatives from early design through construction, resolving complex constructability issues with construction teams. 

  • Serve as the structural subject-matter expert, providing technical leadership and direction across projects and teams. 

  • Champion effective use of engineering software (Excel, RISA, LPILE, and Trimble products) and design automation (VBA and Python) across the discipline. 

  • Mentor and develop engineers and designers, and lead design and quality (OE) reviews. 

  • Develop structural design standards, details, and processes, driving continuous improvement and innovation. 
    • Support business development, client technical relationships, and proposals as a senior technical authority. 

    • A bachelor’s degree in structural or civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program; a master’s degree is preferred. 

    • 12+ years of structural engineering experience with recognized technical depth. Professional Engineer (PE) required; SE preferred. 

    • Expert command of structural analysis and design and the applicable codes and standards. 

    • Demonstrated experience as a technical authority — setting standards, leading reviews, and resolving the most complex design and constructability challenges. 

    • Proficiency with structural and foundation software (RISA, LPILE), Trimble products, Excel, and design automation (VBA/Python). 

    • Recognized technical leadership, mentoring ability, and strong communication. 

    If you’re passionate about clean energy design, precision engineering, and turning data into impact, we want to meet you! Join us in shaping the next generation of solar and battery storage projects—and help transform ANS into the name everyone in renewables knows.
