Job Description

What you'll do:

•       Lead technical direction and execution during the development, construction, commissioning, and operation of utility-scale and distributed renewable energy assets, including BESS, solar+storage, and hybrid systems.

•       Serve as the primary electrical engineering point of contact for sophisticated external customers — including hyperscale and colocation data centers, C&I clients, managing technical relationships from early development through commercial operation.

•       Ensure all projects meet design standards and maintain high-quality engineering designs. Establish and enforce design standards; provide quality oversight across cross-functional project teams.

•       Collaborate with customers, utilities, AHJs, and third-party consultants to support the design and engineering of complex projects.

•       Stay abreast of industry developments, new project requirements, and emerging trends to inform project strategies.

•       Share technical knowledge by coordinating with cross-functional teams throughout various project phases.

•       Deliver design, modeling, and technical support from initial customer solution designs through to successful project implementation and operation.

•       Model and optimize engineering designs and review electrical engineering deliverables: single-line diagrams, protection coordination studies, load flow and short circuit analyses, equipment specifications, and interconnection design packages to meet project specifications and regulatory standards.

•       Develop preliminary single-line diagrams depicting equipment sizing and MV/HV interconnection topologies.

•       Assess and lead interconnection (INTX) strategy across multiple ISOs/RTOs — including application preparation, impact study review, facilities study negotiation, and utility technical coordination.

•       Engage directly with utility technical staff, transmission planners, and grid operators to resolve interconnection and protection-related issues.

•       Provide technical support to O&M team

 

Who you are:

•       A seasoned electrical engineer with deep power systems expertise who can hold their own in a room with utility protection engineers, ISO technical staff, and data center facilities teams — and earn their trust.

•       8–12+ years of relevant experience in power generation, with a strong focus on MV/HV distribution systems and utility-scale or distributed renewable projects.

•       Strong understanding of electrical infrastructure, codes, and standards, including NEC/NFPA, IEEE interconnection standards, and applicable grid codes.

•       Experience with Battery storage systems (BESS) with or without PV projects coupled.

•       Knowledge on Interconnection Application requirements in multiple ISOs/RTOs (MISO, PJM, etc.).

•       Ability to analyze complex problems and develop effective solutions. Demonstrated ability to review, redline, and approve complex engineering drawings, protection studies, and equipment submittals.

•       Collaborative and able to work effectively with diverse stakeholders; able to translate complex technical concepts for both engineering teams and non-technical customers.

•       A lifelong learner committed to staying ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving renewable energy landscape.

Requirements:

•       8+ years of professional experience working in the renewables industry, with a focus on developing and implementing solutions that accelerate the energy transition, with direct ownership of electrical engineering scope on complex projects.

•       Familiarity and hands-on proficiency of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency measures.

•       Experience with energy generation technologies including one or more of the following: solar, wind, battery storage, geothermal, biomass, fuel cells, EV charging.

•       Proven experience with utility interconnection processes: applications, impact studies, facilities studies, and utility technical negotiations.

•       Proficiency in electrical design and modeling tools; experience with protection coordination, load flow, and short circuit analysis software.

•       Working autonomously on deadline-driven projects, your strong analytical and problem-solving skills will ensure on-time delivery to stakeholders.

•       Effectively manage multiple projects, consulting engineers and vendors, negotiate contracts and oversee schedules of deliverables.

•       Ability to travel to client sites as needed.

•       Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET accredited program.

 

Recommended Extras:

•       Professional Engineering (PE) license

•       Field experience commissioning distributed generation equipment.

•       Experience designing distributed generation, isochronous grids.

•       SCADA Protections and Controls Experience.

•       Experience working directly with data center clients on electrical infrastructure, redundancy requirements, or utility service design.

•       Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or Power Systems — a plus.
