About Felipe Gonzalez
Civil Engineer with 15+ years of experience in large-scale infrastructure, including over 3 years in renewable energy and utility-scale PV and BESS projects. Over 12 years of experience developing and structuring technical, financial, and contractual frameworks for highway and airport projects under EPC and Public-Private Partnership models. Strong background in contract compliance, financial structuring, and risk management across EPC and environments. Skilled at aligning engineering, procurement, and project controls through data-driven management and standardized processes.Currently focused on utility-scale solar and BESS projects, I specialize in contract strategy, compliance, and cost control. I’ve led initiatives that standardized subcontracting and procurement processes, developed performance-based scorecards, and built financial dashboards integrating CMiC and Procore data for executive reporting.My approach is data-driven, detail-oriented, and collaborative—I believe successful project delivery comes from clarity in contracts, transparency in costs, and alignment across engineering, finance, and field execution. Core focus areas: EPC Project Management | Contract Strategy & Negotiation | Risk & Compliance | Project Controls | Financial Reporting | BESS & Solar Projects
