Electrical Engineer III - BESS

About the Role

The role involves designing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and associated DC and medium‑voltage switchgear and distribution networks. Responsibilities include performing system studies such as ampacity, load flow, short‑circuit, and loss analysis, as well as preparing, scheduling, and monitoring engineering project progress. The engineer will interact with clients, review manufacturer drawings, ensure code compliance, conduct quality control on deliverables, and guide designers and drafters. Collaboration is essential; the engineer will coordinate with the BESS Manager, Project Manager, and multidisciplinary team members, providing technical support and contributing to the development of standards and processes. Staying abreast of technology trends and supporting continuous improvement are also key aspects of the position. • Design Battery Energy Storage Systems, DC, and medium‑voltage switchgear and distribution networks. • Perform system studies including ampacity, load flow, short‑circuit, and loss analysis. • Prepare, schedule, coordinate, and monitor engineering project design and progress. • Interact with clients to interpret needs and review manufacturer equipment drawings. • Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and QA/QC policies. • Conduct quality control checks on drawings and study deliverables. • Direct designers and drafters on drawing requirements. • Coordinate technical support with BESS Manager, Project Manager, and multidisciplinary teams. • Contribute to development of standards, optimizations, and engineering processes. • Stay current with emerging technology trends in renewable energy.
