​TGRC is supporting a leading U.S. utility-scale renewable energy IPP in the hire of a Manager, Development Engineering to join their rapidly growing execution platform. This is a highly visible role within a well-capitalized developer-owner-operator with a multi-GW U.S. pipeline, a strong track record of bringing projects through construction, and a clear mandate to scale delivery capability across solar PV and co-located storage.

The Opportunity

The Manager, Development Engineering will be responsible for assessing technical feasibility, risk, and design assumptions across development-stage and pre-construction projects. You will play a central role in ensuring projects progress smoothly through EPC RFP, design, and construction handoff, while driving consistent standards, best practices, and engineering governance across the portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a Development Engineering team supporting utility-scale solar PV (and storage optionality)

• Establish and maintain engineering standards, lessons learned, and best practices across EPC bid + design phases

• Own technical assumptions and design governance through development and preconstruction

• Standardize the engineering component of EPC RFP processes and support bid evaluations

• Review and provide written input on technical drawings (PV plant, substation/HV, SCADA, BESS)

• Support RFIs and technical issue resolution through EPC bidding and design phases

• Manage relationships with Owners’ Engineers (OE) and support Independent Engineer (IE) processes

• Develop technical scopes, exhibits, specifications, and contract deliverables for consultants and EPCs

• Identify and mitigate risks, cost adders, and constructability issues prior to construction

Candidate Profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical preferred; Mechanical and Civil also considered)

• 5–10+ years of relevant engineering and/or construction experience

• Proven ability to lead a team and drive accountability across multiple projects

• Strong utility-scale solar PV & BESS design and construction knowledge (modules → inverter → MV/HV → collector substation)

• Ability to redline and review drawings and communicate design comments clearly

• Working knowledge of key electrical standards and codes (NEC, IEEE, ASTM, etc.)

• Strong coordination skills across EPCs, consultants, utilities, permitting agencies, and internal stakeholders

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment

Preferred:

• BESS design and construction exposure

• Professional Engineer (PE) license

Why This Role

• Join a scaled, execution-led renewable energy IPP with long-term institutional backing

• High-impact role supporting a multi-GW development portfolio

• Blend of leadership + hands-on technical ownership

• Strong visibility across development, preconstruction, EPC and construction teams
