    Why are you starting with an engineer rather than an architect or designer? Is there something about your site that is challenging?

    Someone may chime in with a specific recommendation. If that doesn't work out, I suggest searching RESNET (https://www.resnet.us/).

    Your location may make it challenging to find a local resources. If that's the case, it is sometimes possible to work with different experts remotely. I did this when designing the HVAC for my previous home. (See here for more on this topic: https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/article/who-can-perform-my-load-calculations).
