AES Clean Energy is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Structural Engineer to support design development, plans review, and construction of wind, photovoltaic (PV) and grid-scale battery storage systems in coordination with the AES CE Business Development, Engineering and Construction teams.

The Senior Structural Engineer will be responsible for providing professional and technical support to multiple wind, solar PV and battery storage projects. Design review of structural plans for AES CE Engineering, construction alternatives and structural solutions, and quality control and assurance reviews will also be a part of their daily routine.
