• Lead and perform complex power system studies, including short-circuit, arc flash, load flow, harmonic analysis, grounding, ampacity, and power quality assessments
• Conduct protective device coordination studies and evaluate system reliability and performance
• Design and optimize collection systems, including cable routing, sizing, and related electrical infrastructure
• Develop equipment specifications and apply expertise in renewable energy systems such as PV, inverters, BESS, transformers, and balance-of-system components
• Build and maintain interconnection models and perform advanced simulations using industry-standard tools
• Review technical deliverables and ensure compliance with engineering standards, quality expectations, and project requirements
• Develop innovative methods, tools, and workflows to improve analysis efficiency and engineering outcomes
• Act as a technical lead and primary point of contact for assigned projects or portfolios
• Prepare client-facing reports, presentations, proposals, and technical documentation
• Support planning, scheduling, and coordination of engineering deliverables across multiple concurrent projects
• Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders to resolve complex technical challenges
• Supervise, mentor, and train junior engineers while contributing to team development and knowledge sharing
• Provide technical guidance to leadership and support resolution of non-standard or highly complex engineering problems
• Ensure all deliverables meet deadlines, scope requirements, and quality standards

Requirements

This role requires strong expertise in electrical power systems analysis, renewable energy design, and advanced simulation tools, along with proven experience in leading engineering studies and mentoring technical teams.

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, or Bachelor’s degree plus 5+ years of relevant post-graduate experience
• EIT certification required
• Strong understanding of power system engineering principles, including protection, load flow, fault analysis, and system modeling
• Experience in renewable energy systems (solar PV, BESS) or conventional substation/generation projects (equivalent experience considered)
• At least 2 years of experience with renewable energy systems or 5+ years in power generation/substation engineering
• Hands-on experience with vendor dynamic models and system integration studies
• Advanced proficiency in engineering and simulation tools such as ETAP, PSS/E, PSLF, CDEGS, and CYMCAP
• Strong programming skills in Python for automation, data analysis, and process optimization
• Excellent technical writing and communication skills for client-facing deliverables and reporting
• Proven ability to lead projects, manage multiple priorities, and coordinate cross-functional teams
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving ability, and attention to technical detail
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and contributing to team capability development
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, project-driven engineering environment

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package with performance-based bonus
• Employee ownership through an ESOP program
• Comprehensive health coverage with very high employer contribution (medical, dental, vision, and life insurance)
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer match up to 6%, vested immediately
