Topographic Engineer

Topogineer (Cut / Fill Engineer) will run topography analysis for solar sites based on project parameters, include :

• Terrain Analysis & Modeling :
• Run in-house topography analysis using client-provided site layouts and survey data.
• Create accurate proposed surfaces, grading heat maps, and 3D terrain models in AutoCAD Civil 3D .
• Optimize site grading plans to minimize earthwork (cut / fill) volumes while adhering to design constraints.
• Reporting & Documentation :
• Prepare and present stickup analysis reports , highlighting terrain constraints, earthwork balances, and design risks.
• Generate visualizations (e.g., heat maps, contour plots) to communicate grading impacts to stakeholders.
• Quality Control & Algorithm Development :
• Perform QC assessments of automated grading algorithms and modeling outputs.
• Develop / maintain Python scripts to enhance terrain analysis efficiency and accuracy.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration :
• Interface with Application Engineering teams to clarify project requirements and constraints.
• Support Project teams in integrating topographical data into broader site assessments.
• Provide technical input to optimize solar array layouts based on terrain feedback.
• Process Improvement :
• Streamline workflows for topography analysis, data processing, and reporting using Excel (advanced functions, macros) and automation tools.
• Validate and improve digital terrain models (DTMs) for accuracy and compliance.
