Analyst or Senior Analyst – Detailed Design (Civil) Engineering

DESRI (formerly D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments) is a market-leading owner and operator of renewable energy projects throughout the United States. We have acquired or developed approximately 13 gigawatts of contracted capacity across a portfolio of over 85 renewable energy projects in 24 states.

• A Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Civil Engineering with 2-6 years or a Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Civil or related specialization with 1-3 years of relevant experience in large-scale solar, renewable, or land-development projects.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D and GIS (ArcGIS/QGIS); comfortable working with large site datasets (DEM/LiDAR, surfaces, survey, environmental constraints).
• Working knowledge of grading, drainage, erosion control, access road design, and tracker-driven layout constraints for utility-scale PV.
• Ability to run iterative design optimizations and communicate conclusions via well-organized drawings and design summaries. Preferred experience with hydrology/stormwater tools (e.g., HEC-RAS, HydroCAD, Civil Storm) and layout production tools (PVcase/PV Farm).
• Familiarity with U.S. codes/standards and permitting practices (e.g., OSHA/EPA guidance; knowledge of ASTM/NEC interfaces during civil-electrical coordination). Familiarity with study/data retrieval from public data sources and preparing constraint analysis plans, buildable area analysis, and area summations. Familiarity or experience with utilizing artificial intelligence to create efficient workflows or applications. Exposure to construction means/methods, field commissioning, and value-engineering for cost and schedule optimization.
