Lead electrical engineering efforts for utility scale lithium-ion BESS projects from concept (system sizing, layout) through construction.

Interface with utilities and ISO/RTOs to support interconnection studies/submittals, permitting, and compliance for new renewable and BESS projects.

Serve as the internal subject matter expert (SME) for technical challenges related to BESS.

Design AC and DC electrical systems for BESS using medium voltage transformers, inverters, DC combiners, energy managers, and battery modules. Specify and procure long-lead AC equipment.

Develop schematic diagrams, single-line diagrams, wiring schematics, raceway plans, grounding plans, and protection strategies for AC and DC systems.

Specify and evaluate components such as circuit breakers, contactors, fuses, disconnects, emergency power off (EPO), and metering devices.

Coordinate with civil, structural, fire & life safety, SCADA/telecom, geotechnical, and DC system design teams to produce complete IFC packages and technical specifications.

Ensure designs comply with applicable codes and standards such as NEC 705, NEC 706, IEEE 1547, UL 9540, NFPA 855, and local amendments. Lead code reviews and provide summary to internal teams.

Integration of BESS with grid infrastructure and other renewable and traditional energy sources.

Perform power system studies for short circuit, load flow, arc flash, and protective device coordination for AC and DC systems.

Serve as the Electrical Engineer of Record for assigned projects.

Maintain up-to-date knowledge of BESS technologies, codes, and industry trends.
