The Company Cypress Creek Renewables is powering a sustainable future, one project at a time. We develop, finance, own and operate utility-scale and distributed solar and storage projects across the country. Fostering a diverse group of innovative thinkers from all backgrounds, Cypress people are drawn to work in a purpose-driven organization.

We hope you will join us. Overview We are seeking a detail-oriented Project Engineer to perform in-house site design, CAD drafting, and energy forecasting for utility-scale solar PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. The ideal candidate brings expertise in PVSyst energy modeling, BESS performance modeling, AutoCAD/Civil3D drafting, and related site design disciplines across the full renewable energy project lifecycle.

Requirements

, and industry best practices.

and produce compliant design solutions. Review due diligence surveys, geotechnical studies, hydrology analyses, wetland delineations, and environmental reports required for design and permitting; assess impacts on site layout, grading design, and energy production assumptions. Produce high-quality engineering plans, site layout drawings, array block diagrams, and construction details utilizing AutoCAD/Civil3D design software.

Produce grading analysis, topographical exhibits, drainage assessments, and other AutoCAD Civil3D deliverables to support site feasibility and permitting. Support the Pre-Construction Department by providing site design deliverables and energy forecast documentation during the EPC RFP process through contract execution. Coordinate with third-party engineering firms across site design-relevant disciplines including civil, structural, geotechnical, electrical, and survey, as needed to advance site designs.

Review scopes of work, deliverables, and schedules for engineering consultants Experience creating and reviewing engineering deliverables (10/30/60/90% design packages) Ensure all engineering activities align with project timelines and budgets Build and maintain BESS energy models to evaluate dispatch strategies, state-of-charge profiles, degradation, and revenue optimization; provide technical support to Supply Chain for evaluation of new BESS, PCS technologies, PV inverters, and MV transformers. Develop, perform QA/QC, and maintain PVSyst simulation models for solar PV projects including bifacial modeling, shading analysis, soiling/degradation assumptions, and P50/P90 energy yield estimates; maintain documentation of modeling assumptions for internal and lender review. , Solargis, NASA POWER, SolarAnywhere) and loss analysis methodologies to produce defensible energy forecasts, understanding the technical and financial implications of modeling assumptions.

Conduct technical review and risk analysis of site layouts, identifying design conflicts, shading impacts, setback compliance, and grading challenges that affect energy yield or constructability.

Responsibilities

Develop in-house site layouts, PV energy models, BESS energy models, performance calculations, optimization exercises, and single line diagrams (SLD) using industry-standard tools. Lead the design of ground-mounted solar PV system projects, with primary focus on site layout, array configuration, inter-row spacing, tracker geometry, grading constraints, and civil/land development integration.
