Additional Information

SOLV Energy is a leading provider of infrastructure services to the power industry, designing, building and maintaining utility scale solar, battery storage and high voltage substation projects nationwide. Job Description Summary: The Construction Engineer I supports four core Construction Engineering functions across SOLV's EPC operations by providing engineering coordination, technical communication, and documentation rigor. This role contributes to (1) Warranty Analysis, by gathering data and supporting engineering review of potential design or installation issues; (2) Emerging Technologies Implementation, by assisting with GPS-enabled pile driving, drone-based survey workflows, and new construction tools; (3) Construction Engineering Support During Operations, by coordinating RFIs, design updates, and field engineering clarifications; and (4) Pile Load Testing Support During Initial Design, by assisting with planning, scheduling, documentation, and engineering communication for pre-construction pile testing programs. This role is remote and will require travel. Specific location details and expectations will be discussed during the interview process. Job Description: *This job description reflects management's assignment of essential functions; it does not prescribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned Position Responsibilities and Duties: Warranty Forensics Gather field data, photos, as-built information, and installation details to support warranty claim evaluations. Document potential design, manufacturing, or installation concerns and organize findings for review by senior engineering staff. Compare field conditions against design documents, specifications, and installation standards to help identify root causes of warranty-related issues. Maintain accurate, traceable warranty documentation logs to support issue tracking, escalation, and resolution. Assist in coordinating engineering input for remediation plans and communicating required actions to project teams and clients. Emerging Technologies Implementation Support the deployment of advanced construction technologies, including GPS enabled pile driving, drone-based topo capture, and machine control datasets. Prepare and maintain engineering datasets used for GPS machine control, real time grading/terrain workflows, and other technology-enabled processes. Assist with field execution of drone flights, data collection, and upload processes as required by construction and engineering teams. Capture and organize field feedback on technology performance and communicate improvement opportunities to engineering leadership. Participate in development, rollout, and continuous improvement of new construction technology SOPs. Construction Engineering Support During Operations Coordinate daily engineering information flow to field teams, ensuring timely distribution of drawing updates, clarifications, and consultant responses. Manage RFIs by drafting clear, concise questions, gathering supporting documentation, routing to the correct engineering discipline, and tracking closure to avoid schedule delays. Interpret and communicate project-specific design requirements such as SOLV standards, contract requirements, and permit conditions. Maintain engineering document control systems, including drawing sets, data room folders, engineering exhibits, submittals, and version tracking. Participate in constructability reviews by identifying missing details, design conflicts, or potential field execution risks. Support owner/IE comment cycles by preparing comment logs, collecting consultant responses, and presenting organized summaries to project managers and field teams. Monitor engineering deliverable timelines, identify at-risk items, and support mitigation efforts with internal and external engineering partners. Pile Load Testing Support During Initial Design Assist with coordinating pre-construction pile load testing activities, including drill-rig scheduling, field logistics, and test setup. Document load test procedures, test sequences, and field results accurately and consistently. Track, organize, and communicate pile test data to project engineers, geotechnical consultants, and design partners. Ensure pile test documentation aligns with contract requirements, industry standards, and engineering expectations. Support identification of soil behavior or foundation performance concerns based on load test observations and results. General Engineering Responsibilities Conduct drawing comparisons, quantity checks, and review of plan sets to identify potential discrepancies or missing information. Participate in project site visits to gather field data, observe installation methods, validate design assumptions, and enhance constructability awareness. Identify and escalate engineering risks such as conflicting details, missing information, or unforeseen field conditions. Contribute to SOP, workflow, and internal database developmen
