Lead full-cycle engineering design of microgrid systems including solar PV arrays, BESS, backup generators, and hybrid controls architectures.
Develop and own the system single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical schematics, equipment specifications, and design packages from 30% through IFC.
Size and select major equipment including inverters, charge controllers, transformers, switchgear, battery systems, and generator sets.
Perform load analysis, energy modeling, and system performance simulations to validate design assumptions and optimize system configurations.
Design and specify controls and SCADA architecture for automated microgrid management and remote monitoring.
Ensure all designs comply with internal company standards, contractual requirements, jurisdictional and utility requirements, and applicable codes and standards.
Serve as the primary technical lead on multiple concurrent projects from NTP through commissioning and handoff.
Develop and maintain engineering deliverable schedules aligned with project milestones and deployment timelines.
Coordinate with AHJs, utilities, and third-party engineers for permitting, interconnection, and inspections.
Support procurement by developing RFQs, reviewing vendor submittals, and providing technical evaluation of equipment bids.
Provide technical support to field crews and commissioning teams during installation and startup.
Review and respond to RFIs, submittals, and design change requests in a timely manner.
