About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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
