Engenheiro Sénior Civil SWPPP

Signal Energy's Senior Civil SWPPP Engineer, will serve as the subject matter expert and primary technical lead for Signal Energy's SWPPP compliance, erosion control, and drainage performance across our utility-scale solar and BESS portfolio. Additionally, this role is highly execution-focused and will own all SWPPP-related warranty and O&M erosion issues, working across Engineering, Operations, EORs, and Owners to assess, develop, and implement corrective solutions on active and completed project sites.

The ideal candidate brings deep renewable EPC experience, strong field judgment, and the ability to proactively identify and mitigate erosion and stormwater risks while driving practical, constructable solutions.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Oversee all civil SWPPP engineering efforts to ensure warranty claims are resolved on time, comply with client and regulatory requirements, meet quality standards, and align with budget and constructability expectations
• Serve as Signal's lead authority on SWPPP compliance and performance and own all SWPPP warranty and O&M erosion-related issues across operational projects
• Evaluate post-construction erosion, sediment control failures, and drainage deficiencies and develop corrective action plans that are constructable, cost-effective, and compliant
• Conduct site investigations and forensic evaluations of erosion and drainage issues to identify root causes (grading, hydrology, soil conditions, installation, maintenance, etc.)
• Provide clear field direction to Operations teams for execution
• Collaborate with EORs to align on design intent vs. field performance gaps
• Review civil design packages to ensure SWPPP constructability and long-term performance
• Develop and standardize SWPPP best practices, details, and specifications
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines to ensure seamless integration

Attributes and Competencies

• Technical expertise in Civil SWPPP Engineering, including the preparation and assembling of plans, studies, calculations and specifications.
• Able to diagnose and solve real-world site issues quickly and takes full responsibility for SWPPP performance across the portfolio
• Balances compliance, cost, and constructability and provides clear, actionable direction to field teams
• Highly organized, with ability to prioritize and track multiple, concurrent, high impact activities
• Driven by desire to continuously improve processes, tools and technology
• Operate with positivity and enthusiasm, especially in high-stress situations
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Creative problem solver with the ability to balance tactical and strategic decisions

• 8-12+ years of experience in civil engineering with strong emphasis on:
  • SWPPP design, implementation, and compliance
  • Erosion and sediment control
  • Stormwater management
• Direct experience supporting SWPPP warranty or post-construction O&M issues
• Familiarity with multi-state SWPPP regulatory environments
• 3+ years supporting utility-scale solar or renewable EPC projects
• Professional Engineer (PE) license (preferred or required depending on candidate)
• Demonstrated experience resolving field-based erosion and drainage issues
• Strong working knowledge of:
  • NPDES permitting requirements
  • State and local SWPPP regulations
  • Hydrology and drainage design principles
  • Soil stabilization methods and erosion control systems
  • SWPPP inspection and compliance processes
• Knowledge of AISC, ASCE, ANSI, ASTM and other applicable codes and standards
• Proficiency in applicable engineering software including AutoCAD Civil 3D, and relevant SWPPP documentation and inspection platforms preferred
