Solar Project Engineer
plantedOakland (CA)
About the role
Planted is seeking a Civil Project Engineer in the SF Bay Area to own civil design and engineering for solar projects from distributed generation to utility scale. You will interface with customers, EORs, and permitting agencies to ensure civil requirements are met while balancing energy production, schedule, and cost.
We value hands-on engineers with 3–5 years of experience in solar, a strong ownership mindset, and the ability to execute in a fast-paced startup setting.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
