Additionally, you will work closely with management on departmental issues and assist with project-related decisions and activities. Supervise the work of subordinates using a hands-on approach.

More specifically, you will: 
  • Assign and oversee work delegated station designers on specific phases or aspects of projects such as conceptual designs, preparation of specifications, development of basis of design documents, review of technical plans, review of studies and responses to change requests.
  • Lead all aspects of station design engineering from planning, developing, and implementing station engineering designs. 
  • Review and verify design and plans for compliance with codes, manuals, engineering principles, company standards, customer contract requirements, and other design considerations.
  • Visit project sites as required to review general progress of construction and respond to requests for site visits concerning elements of the design for which Clean Energy is responsible. 
  • Support and provide solutions to a wide range of difficult design problems and interpret policies and procedures for non-routine matters. 
  • Evaluate and approve design changes, specifications, and drawing releases.
  • Prepare responses to permitting agencies in support of station development efforts.
  • Review submittals and vendor drawings.
  • Develop mechanical P&ID drawings and details.
  • Delegate and manage workflows of designs for multiple simultaneous projects in various stages of development, design, and construction.

Strategic impact
Growth and change are fundamental dynamics at Clean Energy, and they can create opportunities for strong performers. We want to hire a professional who can grow in this role in beyond. We take pride in helping our team members learn new skills and further develop existing skills.

Solid growth
Clean Energy has the right solutions at the right time, as more and more organizations are exploring alternative fuel vehicles and solutions. For instance, we recently entered into an agreement with UPS to provide them with 170 million gasoline gallon equivalents of Redeem renewable natural gas (RNG) through 2026. Clean Energy's Redeem is the world's first renewable fuel made entirely from organic waste for commercial vehicles, and this partnership with UPS will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 1 million metric tons.

Proven strong leadership
You will join a team of accomplished, seasoned professionals at Clean Energy, led by Andrew Littlefair. Mr. Littlefair served as President of Pickens Fuel Corp (PFC), a predecessor company of Clean Energy, which he co-founded in 1997 with Boone Pickens and was Staff Assistant to then President Ronald Reagan in the Office of Presidential Advance from 1983 to 1987.

Green standard for sustainability
You probably already knew that natural gas burns much more cleanly than gasoline and diesel, producing significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. But did you also know that natural gas is increasingly renewable, using biomethane reclaimed from landfills, waste-water-treatment facilities and farms via waste-to-energy solutions? Clean Energy is helping companies and public organizations meet aggressive environmental goals, and you'll be part of that effort.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive salary and discretionary performance-based bonus, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and other insurances, a 401(k) plan with discretionary company match, paid time off and more.
