Job Description:

Description:
Pure Power Engineering is a leader in the design and engineering of commercial and utility scale solar PV systems. Our strength is creating the drawings that contractors use for permits and construction. An essential aspect of our design is the structural analysis of buildings and structures that support the solar PV system. We are looking to hire a Field Structural Engineer to assist with on-site structural inspections and analysis.

Pure Power is an engineering firm specializing in designing big, challenging, and high-profile Solar PV systems (with or without energy storage). Our sophisticated clients know engineering isn't a commodity and it pays in the end to have the best detailed, technically accurate, and well thought out designs. As a full-service engineering firm, our work is creating the electrical and structural drawings and calculation packages for bidding, permits, and construction, as well as supporting the lead up to the full engineering drawings, primarily interconnection support and electrical/structural feasibility studies.

Founded in 2012, Pure Power has experienced 9 consecutive years of revenue and personnel growth. You will be coming into a culture of constant education, improvement, and teamwork. We place an emphasis on training and professional development, which results in an extremely low turnover rate and employees that stay and grow with the company for a long time.

You will be coming into a culture of constant education, improvement, and teamwork. As a Pure Power engineer, challenge yourself every day to make each design and drawing set the best one yet.
