SkillBridge Field Engineer - Internship

This is a 10-week training program that prepares transitioning service members for a full-time career as a Field Engineer with RES. Through a combination of structured instruction, mentor-guided field exposure, and hands-on project support, participants will build practical knowledge in construction site safety, project documentation, daily reporting, scheduling, resource tracking, quality processes, environmental compliance, and field coordination. The program is designed to help participants apply their military experience to utility-scale renewable energy construction projects while developing the technical, operational, and communication skills needed to support safe and effective project execution.

This SkillBridge opportunity prepares transitioning service members for a full-time career as a Field Engineer supporting solar construction projects. The full-time (permanent) version of this role will perform accurate construction activity tracking, while maintaining safety and quality requirements at a project. Additionally, this person will support multiple aspects of both engineer, procure, and construct (EPC) and balance of plant (BOP) projects in the utility and renewable energy sector. This opportunity is especially well aligned to service members from backgrounds such as Navy Engineering Aide, Army Technical Engineer, Army Engineer Officer, Navy Construction Electrician, Air Force Engineering, Navy Builder, Air Force Civil Engineer Officer, Army Horizontal Construction Engineer, Marine Corps Combat Engineer Officer, and Air Force Electrical Systems. These roles often provide experience in construction management, documentation, safety, planning, quality control, field execution, and technical problem-solving that directly connects to the responsibilities of a Field Engineer.
