Nevados is the premier solar tracker company for PV power plants built on sloped and rolling terrain.

Key Responsibilities - Lead the design, development, and implementation of a topography aware platform that integrates GIS (Geographic Information System) data, geospatial analysis, and other relevant technologies to optimize solar project site selection, design, and construction.

- Serve as the source of truth for civil design for the product and projects, primarily final post location and install height.
- Process and review provided topography and flood depth data in Civil 3D
- Perform post-to-post slope analysis to accurately determine the correct product to use for each post.
- Perform grading analyses using Civil 3D based on provided contour data to provide civil quantity estimates for construction financial modeling.
- Perform water surface analyses using Civil 3D based on provided hydrology modeling to review minimum freeboard requirement is met.
- Provide technical expertise during the construction phase, overseeing civil engineering aspects, ensuring quality control, and resolving any in office issues.
- Perform value engineering exercises to minimize project costs while identifying and proactively addressing potential risks and challenges related to site conditions through effective mitigation strategies.
- Maintain accurate records, reports, and documentation related to project design, development, and construction.
- Collaborate with engineers to update product configurations, drafting standards,



and potentially develop automation procedures.
- Conduct thorough analysis to determine optimal foundation locations for solar panel arrays, considering factors such as soil stability, scour, load-bearing capacity, and geological conditions.
- Contribute to product development, ensuring a thorough understanding of the product.
- Support construction by managing Requests for Information (RFIs) and submittals.
- Supervise and coordinate with third-party vendors.
- Ensure effective communication and collaboration with internal teams, contractors, and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

Requirements - Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or related field.

- Proven experience (3+ years) as a Civil Engineer, preferably in utility-scale solar tracker projects or similar renewable energy systems.
- Strong knowledge of structural engineering principles, with a focus on solar tracker design.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, GIS software, and SolidWorks.
- Familiarity with Bluebeam Revu, MATLAB, and AI tools
- Familiarity with topography analysis, hydrology analysis, and value engineering.
- Excellent project management skills, including task prioritization, resource management, and risk mitigation.
- In-depth knowledge of solar development, site design principles, grading, erosion control, and stormwater management.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities with attention to detail.
- Effective communication and collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
