About Jolt Engineering —
Built by an EPC Client, for EPC Clients
Jolt Engineering was founded by Chad Buccine, P.E. in 2017. After 10 years on the EPC and procurement side of the solar industry — hiring engineers, managing installations, and watching designs fail in the field — Chad built the firm he wished had existed when he was the client.
Why Jolt Exists
Most engineering firms have never stood in the boots of an EPC. They haven't paid for a flawed design, navigated a permit rejection, or watched a project stall because the plan set wasn't built for the AHJ. Chad Buccine has. That's why Jolt engineers differently — with the full cost of a bad design in mind from the first line of every drawing.
Meet Chad Buccine, P.E.
Chad Buccine is the Founder and Principal Engineer of Jolt Engineering. He spent the first decade of his career on the EPC and procurement side of the commercial solar industry — hiring engineering firms, managing installations, and experiencing firsthand what happens when designs aren't built for the field.
In 2017, he founded Jolt Engineering to solve the exact problems he'd experienced as a client. Today, Chad personally leads every project. Clients work directly with the engineer responsible for their plan set — not an account manager.
