Role Summary CPP is seeking a Director of Renewable Energy Forensic & Remedial Engineering to build and lead a new service line focused on investigating, diagnosing, and resolving structural and performance problems on solar and other renewable energy assets. This is a senior, highly entrepreneurial seller-doer role for a self-directed technical leader who can access CPP’s existing client network, identify and win new engagements, personally deliver forensic and remedial engineering work, and grow and mentor a team of CPP engineers across CPP’s global network to support and scale the practice over time. CPP already has deep, directly relevant technical capability in wind loading, structural performance, and failure investigation for solar racking and other renewable energy structures. The Director will translate that capability into a coherent, client-facing service offering covering site investigation and root cause analysis for damaged or underperforming systems, remedial engineering design, specification review and enhancement to reduce future failures, technical due diligence and procurement support, and related advisory services. The role is expected to combine hands-on technical delivery with business development, team building, and long-term practice leadership. Success in this position depends on a specific profile:



an entrepreneurial self-starter who treats this practice as their own and drives it with urgency and ownership; a credible forensic engineer who can walk a damaged site, diagnose root cause, and speak confidently with clients, contractors, and manufacturers; a natural business developer who can open doors within CPP’s existing network of developers, owners, EPCs, and manufacturers; and a patient team builder who can recruit, train, and mentor engineers across CPP’s global offices as the practice grows. Operational / Practice Delivery (approximately 70% of day-to-day activities):

Client Engagement & Opportunity Origination: Leverage CPP’s existing client network of developers, owners, EPCs, and manufacturers to identify, originate, and win new forensic and remedial engineering engagements.

Site Investigation & Root Cause Analysis: Deploy to damaged or underperforming project sites to investigate failures, assess conditions, and determine root cause, drawing on CPP’s wind engineering, structural, and field investigation expertise.

Remedial Engineering & Design: Develop and deliver remediation plans and design solutions in partnership with CPP’s technical teams to correct identified failures and prevent recurrence.

Specification Review & Procurement Support: Review and enhance technical specifications used in procurement to reduce the risk of future failures, and advise clients on design, material, and installation quality considerations.

Technical Due Diligence & Ancillary Advisory Services: Support pre-purchase or pre-investment technical due diligence, performance validation, and other ancillary advisory services as client needs are identified.
