About the role

Your primary objective is designing a technical machine capable of screening and de-risking a 1GW+ annual pipeline to ensure a consistent, high-yield delivery of 300 MW/yr in operational solar and storage assets.
You will transform the engineering function from a project-by-project service into a standardized, high-throughput engine.
You will leverage the Grid Integration team as Pivot's "reconnaissance unit," utilizing predictive modeling and utility relationship management to identify high-probability interconnection nodes before capital is committed to site acquisition.

Lead the development engineering and project engineering teams, ensuring close collaboration with development strategy and execution, project delivery, and O&M and Asset Management to ensure Pivot projects are designed to operate optimally for 40+ years.
Drive organizational efficiency by enforcing standardized designs and equipment specifications to reduce project cycle times and minimize custom engineering hours.
Balance internal resource allocation against external partners to ensure the team can flex with pipeline surges without creating engineering bottlenecks.
