Create electrical and physical designs for microgrid and DER systems, accounting for existing electrical infrastructure, AHJ requirements, and other site constraints
Utilize strong technical and communication skills to identify and communicate technical constraints and possibilities to internal and customer stakeholders.
Work extensively with Business Development (BD) teams to evaluate and develop the right technical solutions.
Ensure Microgrid integration is technically sound, practical, and cost-effective, working with existing service entrance one-line drawings or creating new ones.
Investigate the interconnection, submitting applications and completing modifications to existing design concepts applicable to each site.
Work with switchgear manufacturers to ensure designs meet project requirements,
Provide significant input to solar, battery, and generator designs to optimize performance, reliability, and sustainability.
Collaborate with the development engineering team and other internal stakeholders to improve templates and processes.
Requirements
5+ years of experience in the design and construction of power/generation/renewable energy projects
Thorough technical understanding of distributed energy technologies, including some combination of solar, battery, and reciprocating engines/turbines
Deep understanding of rotating power with reciprocating engines in the 200 to 2000kw size range per engine is preferred.
Understanding of onsite power generation, including parallel operation with the utility bus as well as with other DERs, both in grid parallel mode and island mode operations.
Solid understanding of the utility side of the interconnection.
Knowledge of the various DER power sources within the Microgrid and how they best interface with the utility to provide a more efficient system.
Knowledge of emissions from the utility side as well as each of the DERs.
Knowledge of systems controls for the DERs and how they can be utilized to accomplish specific operating goals while part of the Microgrid. These goals provide economic return to us and the customer.
Strong communication skills, including the ability to communicate with technical and non-technical people to make projects work.
A BS in Engineering is required; a BS in Electrical Engineering with a focus on the power side is preferred
PE in power or progressing towards that license is preferred
Advanced courses in power or a higher-level degree in the field are preferred
