Engineering services for utility-scale solar, substations, and energy storage
EVS is a multi-discipline engineering firm focused exclusively on renewable energy infrastructure—solar plants, substations, energy storage. Their tech stack is dominated by Autodesk tools (Civil 3D, AutoCAD) and specialized power-systems software (ETAP, PSCAD, PVSyst, HEC-RAS), reflecting deep domain expertise in grid design and civil/structural modeling. Current hiring is engineering-heavy (17 of 19 open roles) across senior and mid-level ranks, with active work on grid modernization, utility-scale solar delivery, and power-system studies—suggesting capacity constraints in core design disciplines rather than exploratory hiring.
EVS, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, designs renewable energy infrastructure for owners, developers, and engineering-procurement-construction firms. The firm operates across civil, structural, electrical, and geotechnical engineering disciplines, with land surveying capabilities and practice licenses in 48 states. Additional offices in Colorado and India support a team of 201–500 employees. Projects span utility-scale solar plants, substation and switchyard design, energy storage facilities, and grid modernization work. Internal pain points include accounts receivable aging and cash-flow management alongside technical challenges in renewable grid integration and permitting workflows.
Autodesk Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and Bluebeam for drafting and design; ETAP and PSCAD for power-systems analysis; PVSyst for solar modeling; HEC-RAS and QGIS for hydrology and GIS work; Mathcad for calculations.
