This is an extremely unique opportunity as it is rare in the renewable EPC industry to have a team like this on staff. This individual will not only lead our team of extremely talented design engineering associates but will also work side by side with the remainder of the engineering team (including PE's, EITs, and engineering professionals) as part of our overall EPC team. In this role, your team will be responsible for (on projects that NAR serves as the EPC Contractor) the development and creation of 30% all the way through stamped final construction drawings for all civil, electrical, and structural components (primarily) of ground mount solar fields and battery storage systems throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic regions. In addition, you will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with the construction side of our business as NAR self-performs the mechanical installation (foundations, racking and modules) with our proprietary equipment as you work alongside our sister company (PEC of CT) for the low voltage electrical installations. Yes, your colleagues will construct the full electrical and structural systems from your drawings. Finally, you have a 40,000 SQ FT prefabrication and UL listed electrical manufacturing facility on site in Canton, MA where we drive Lean initiatives, manufacture our proven products, and control our destiny in the field. You'll watch products from your construction sets come to life a few hundred feet from your desk. You'll have strong relationships with those in the field to drive continuous improvement efforts with constant feedback loops to feed into best practices and you'll work alongside those who define the standard in the DG markets in our region.
