Provide preliminary internal engineering needed to support the development pipeline by creating conceptual design layouts and detailed single line diagrams, three-line diagrams, and site layouts in AutoCAD for utility interconnection applications, electrical permits, and EPC RFP documents
Supervise project assignments for the assigned Electrical Engineering group and manage the work of third-party consultants
Manage internal and external consultants to support early-stage electrical studies for Development, Transmission Interconnection, and Execution Engineering teams
Maintain a library of standard drawings and calculations for all stages of project development and design
Analyze complex engineering issues and deliver timely, effective solutions across multiple projects
Lead value-engineering studies on alternative design approaches and continuously improve scopes, guidelines, specifications, standards, schedules, and budget templates
Own the development of new electrical engineering standards, guidelines, and specifications
Evaluate consultants to maintain qualified bidder lists and manage technical contract exhibits, including participation in contract negotiations
Develop and optimize electrical estimates for BOP/EPC and long-lead equipment by creating project layouts, take-offs, and HV/MV one-line diagrams
Ensure designs incorporate constructability and operability to maximize Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) award potential
