[Hiring] Project Engineer I @A2B DEVELOPMENT LLC

Role Description

MARS Energy Solutions is seeking a Project Engineer I to support the design and execution of solar PV, BESS, and EV infrastructure projects. Reporting to a Senior Project Engineer and supporting Project Managers, this role combines technical design work with occasional field support, all performed under guidance and review. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.

• Support early-stage design — preliminary PV layouts and stringing concepts in Helioscope and AutoCAD — feeding the engineering team's basis of design.
• Produce CAD design work including line-side tap detail drawings, collaborating with the Engineering Director and field operations team on PE-stamped sets.
• Support drawing package revisions through design and construction to an approved-for-construction set.
• Process submittals and RFIs through Procore — no material installed without an approved submittal, no field change on a verbal approval.
• Support procurement accuracy and vendor coordination against the construction schedule.
• Provide technical support for utility interconnection and AHJ permitting, including technical responses and supporting the path to PTO.
• Support Methods of Procedure (MOPs) for outage and tie-in work.
• Conduct site visits to verify installation conforms to IFC drawings and support crews at key milestones.
• Support pre-energization documentation in adherence with the MARS Build Standards.
• Support commissioning — DC string testing, IR survey coordination, and deficiency tracking.
• Maintain as-built redlines in Procore and photograph concealed work prior to cover.
• Own project closeout coordination to the MARS “O&M Ready” standard, with full turnover documentation.
• Assist Business Development with pre-contract due diligence and site assessments.

Qualifications

• 0–4 years in solar PV, construction, or a related engineering field; internship or academic project experience acceptable for entry-level applicants.
• Performs the responsibilities above with guidance from the Senior Project Engineer; independence grows with experience.
• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related technical field; ABET accredited degree a plus.

Requirements

• Working knowledge of Helioscope, PVSyst, AutoCAD, and Procore.
• Understanding of NEC and solar PV components; California Electrical Code a plus.
• Able to read construction drawings, structural plans, and single-line diagrams.
• Understands that deviations require documented engineering disposition — verbal approvals do not count.
• Strong communication across clients, contractors, utilities, and AHJs; willing to stop work and escalate when the field conflicts with approved drawings.

Physical Demands & Work Environment

• Ability to work in both office and active construction site environments.
• Prolonged periods of sitting, computer work, and reviewing technical documents.
• Ability to walk project sites, climb stairs and ladders, and navigate uneven terrain.
• Ability to occasionally lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
• Travel to project locations and work outdoors in varying weather conditions as needed.
• Ability to wear required PPE and safely work around active construction operations.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance.
• Company-paid Life and AD&D Insurance.
• 401(k) Retirement Plan with Company Match.
• Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Six Paid Company Holidays.
• Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
