Overview In this role you will develop accurate estimates for retrofit, repowering, and restoration of utility-scale solar and BESS projects. You will work closely with engineering, procurement, and field teams to build detailed cost models and inform proposals. You'll refine takeoffs, quantify labor and material needs, and help manage commercial risk across complex brownfield and repowering efforts. This opportunity combines hands-on estimating with cross-functional collaboration to enable competitive, high-impact projects. Join a growth-focused team that values ownership, continuous improvement, and practical innovation.
