Sr Civil Engineer - Signal Energy Logo

Signal Energy’s SR Civil Engineer leads all technical work and assists in engineering management for assigned projects from RFP receipt through Issued for Construction (“IFC”) plan sets. The SR Civil Engineer is responsible for understanding design criteria and coordinating internal and external Engineers of Record (“EOR”), with an understanding of impacts to other disciplines to ensure development of complete, cohesive design documentation that clearly communicates how each project should be built. This role is responsible for driving Signal Energy’s Basis of Design through Issued-For-Construction (IFC) plan sets to ensure civil designs meet or exceed scope, schedule, budget, constructability, and safety expectations.

The Civil Engineer supports both Engineer-of-Record (EOR) led, and in-house civil design projects, contributing to the development, coordination, and delivery of complete and constructible civil design packages.

The role integrates site-specific conditions, geotechnical information, and interdisciplinary inputs to deliver coordinated civil designs that support efficient construction and successful project execution for utility-scale solar and BESS facilities.

Reports to: Director of Engineering /Principal Civil Engineer

Works closely with: Clients, EORs, Suppliers, Business Development, Estimating, Project Mangers, Field Operations, and Procurement

Responsibilities and Accountabilities

• Lead the development and delivery of civil design packages from early design through Issued-For-Construction (IFC), ensuring alignment with the project Scope of Work, Basis of Design, schedule, budget, constructability, and safety requirements.
• Serve as the civil technical lead on assigned solar and BESS projects, providing direction, oversight, and technical decision-making for grading, drainage, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, access roads, foundations coordination, and equipment pads.
• Review and interpret geotechnical reports to identify site-specific risks, design constraints, and mitigation strategies, and integrate geotechnical findings into civil design solutions.
• Support both Engineer-of-Record (EOR) led, and in-house civil design efforts, ensuring complete, coordinated, and constructible civil deliverables.
• Drive interdisciplinary coordination with survey, geotechnical, environmental, structural, electrical, high-voltage, BESS, and construction teams to resolve design conflicts and ensure execution-ready designs.
• Lead and perform QA/QC reviews of civil drawings, calculations, and specifications prior to submission and IFC issuance.
• Support permitting and AHJ approvals, including review of submittals, responses to agency comments, and coordination with environmental and regulatory teams.
• Identify, communicate, and mitigate civil-related cost, schedule, and constructability risks, and lea
