Josh Schroeder Project Resume

Principal, Viejas Enterprise Microgrid | Alpine, CA Oversaw site design and grading for the battery yard, generator shelter, and 12kV routing for 60 MW of energy storage provided for the Viejas Tribe of Kumeyaay Indians. The battery yard and generator shelter cover over 3.3 acres and the project included grading of an existing hillside to bring fill into the site, provided direction and coordination with the geotechnical engineer to create suitable soil, and designed subterranean drainage systems around the perimeter. Over 160 solar panel structures are installed around the site to provide the energy for storage and ground elevations were provided for all the mounts. 12kV routing spanned over 3 miles, checked crossings with all existing utilities. 

Project Manager, The Terraces | Lemon Grove, CA Brought in by new owner after approved entitlements. During construction drawings, the project went through multiple internal revisions by the Water District and through reviews and meetings, agreed to utilize a design inline with current industry standards. During design, issues were discovered with the original grading on all 3 sides of the project and the existing drainage outfall was not properly conveying runoff. This issue occurred on County of San Diego property and required County approval and permission to grade from neighbor. Worked with the City and County to upsize off-site sewer system.

Project Manager, Riverview | Santee, CA Project manager for original client throughout preliminary site design, entitlements, and start of construction drawings. During construction drawings, worked with client to prepare documents and exhibits for sale to new client. Worked with new client to make minor revisions to the site and plans. Project site covered 5.4 acres and surface water ran to the river to the north while sewer connected to the south. This conflicting condition required a sewer lift station on the project. Project processed a CLOMR-F to remove the boundary out of the FEMA floodplain. Wrote an SWQMP and Drainage report and was one of the first projects allowed to use a proprietary water treatment system.

Project Manager, R-25A Apartments | Chula Vista, CA. Oversaw the project from preliminary layouts, through entitlements, and all construction drawings and mapping. Worked with owner and architect to come up with a site design for 400 apartment units across 20 buildings (townhomes and apartment buildings) and a shared amenities facility. The site covered 12.1 acres and included 12’ of retaining walls along the south and easterly side of the site. Due to the density of the site, connection and the number of units, there were utility crossings to be modified around the entire site. Project was part of an outdated master plan for storm water treatment. Worked with the engineer of the master plan to update reports and calculations to prove sizing of existing basins was sufficient for treatment, retention, detention, and hydromodification.

Project Manager, PA-12 Apartments | Chula Vista, CA. Project management that included 578 apartment units, with 15,000 sq. ft. of retail space, which included 2 buildings with separate amenities. He worked with the architect and landscape architect up front to incorporate water quality locations into their designs. 4,500 sq. ft. of retaining walls were constructed with 20,000 CY of import brought in at the owner’s request to offset export from an adjacent project. A 25,200 sq. ft. hydromodification tank was installed for water storage. COMPREHENSIVE (PLANNING, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION)

Project Manager, Otay Ranch V2 Master | Chula Vista, CA. Oversaw preliminary site layout, planning, and engineering for a master plan that included 7 total residential neighborhoods for 2 separate developers. It covered 69 acres with a total of 230 single family lots, 36 condominiums, and 2 open space lots. The project included 3.3 miles of wet infrastructure and 250,000 CY of export to be used at a neighboring project.  The project work included the rezoning of neighborhoods, processing a boundary adjustment as part of the lot swap, coordination with other City’s and agencies easements, and abutted an open space preserve with required fire setbacks. 

Project Manager, Quarry Creek R3, R4A, R4B | Carlsbad, CA. He managed the preliminary site layout and planning for a master plan project that included 5 total residential planning areas, a park-n-ride, and a community use facility. The residential planning areas included: affordable housing apartments, high-end market rate apartments, high-density residential condominiums, medium-density residential condominiums and single-family residential dwellings. It covered 24.5 gross acres with a total of 88 condominium townhome units, 150 condominium duplex and triplex units, and 56 single family lots. Project included over 3.8 miles of wet infrastructure, 7,500 SF of retaining walls, and balanced 45,000 CY of import/export between the projects.
