- Prepare and revise structural layouts, foundation plans, pile layouts, racking/tracker details, equipment pad layouts, steel support details, and construction details.
- Support structural design for PV tracker systems, fixed-tilt racking, inverter skids, transformer pads, BESS equipment pads, PCS equipment, and related balance-of-plant structures.
- Coordinate with structural engineers, civil teams, electrical teams, project managers, vendors, and other design staff to ensure deliverables are accurate, complete, and aligned with project scope.
- Incorporate design markups, redlines, vendor information, geotechnical data, survey information, and client comments into structural drawing packages.
