Full Job Description
Role Scope
Own the electrical design and sizing of multi-hundred-megawatt storage plants, from single line, protection and grounding through power and energy ratings and augmentation strategy, across several concurrent gigawatt sites.
Qualify and dual-source BESS vendors on technical merit, running factory witness testing, failure mode review and warranty terms alongside supply chain.
Define how storage, solar and on-site generation dispatch together so the plant holds a firm load profile through resource swings and generator trips.
Drive NFPA 855 compliance, hazard mitigation analysis and large-scale fire test evidence through the AHJ and the insurer before equipment reaches site.
Take each plant through commissioning, capacity and round-trip performance testing and controls integration before the first training load connects.
What We're Looking For
The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
You've taken grid-scale battery storage from single line to energized plant, and you can name the sites and the megawatts.
You've sized a storage system against a real duty cycle and lived with the result, including the augmentation call and the places the model turned out to be wrong.
You've chosen between BESS vendors on technical grounds, sat through factory witness testing, and pushed back on a datasheet that did not survive scrutiny.
You've argued NFPA 855 and hazard mitigation analysis in front of an AHJ or an insurer and got to approval.
You've integrated storage controls with generation and load so the combined plant behaves as one machine rather than three.
You write clearly enough that a procurement lead, a fire marshal and a CEO each get the decision they need out of the same document.
Bonus: Hybrid plant and dispatch modelling (PLEXOS, PVsyst, HOMER). Power system studies (PSCAD, ETAP, protection coordination, arc flash). Behind-the-meter and islanded microgrid operation. Interconnection and market processes (FERC, ERCOT, MISO). Professional Engineer license.
