About Joseph Ottolino
Geotechnical engineer with 7 years experience, specializing in utility-scale solar. I design deep and shallow foundations for solar racking systems, applying graduate-level geotechnical expertise to translate complex subsurface data into efficient, buildable solutions that keep projects on schedule and on budget. I bring both technical rigor and field-informed judgment to every project, particularly where conventional approaches fall short. A significant part of my work involves developing design templates that position our methodology at the forefront of an industry still defining its own standards, ensuring our designs are precise, optimized, and ahead of the curve as best practices continue to evolve. Beyond project-level design, I help manage design priorities across our geotechnical team, balancing technical quality with the fast-moving demands of the solar development pipeline.
