Owner’s Engineering services covers the whole CAPEX cycle of the project (conceptual/feasibility, permitting support,

detailed design review, equipment inspection, construction support, commissioning and start/up support).

This position requires both technical expertise in SCADA, cybersecurity, network, and systems engineering principles

and experience in the design and construction of renewable power generation, as well as a client-oriented approach to

ensure that the required quality level (against applicable industry codes and standards, project technical specific

requirements, and owner’s specifications) is met while simultaneously minimizing the risks on the project schedule and

cost for our clients.

 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

The candidate will be responsible for performing design reviews following the BV typical design review process focusing

on the following objectives (including but not limited to):

· Design meets all specified permitting and contractual requirements (owner’s requirements, interconnection /

interface requirements, etc.) and follows applicable codes, standards and local permit conditions.

· Design includes the strategy for confirming and demonstrating that performance requirements can be met.

· Design drawings, codes and specification are full and complete and accurately represent the completed project.

· Equipment project ancillary facilities are used within their specified performance envelope and will meet the

project expected design life and performance level.

· Cost optimization, constructability, and practicability are considered after contemplating all project

requirements.

· Scheduling considerations including identification of long lead items and sequencing of construction are taken

into account.

 

The selected candidate should have a strong background in the fundamental principles of SCADA, cybersecurity,

networking, and systems administration, as well as renewable project development, design and construction experience
