Summary:
Provide electrical engineering design of renewable energy projects. Design to include interconnection drawings, electrical permit/construction drawings, calculations and close-out documents. Design tools to include AutoCAD, PVSyst, Helioscope and various manufacturer online design tools. Projects generally include photovoltaic and/or energy storage elements and are submitted to interconnecting utilities and building departments (AHJ) for approval as well to field personnel for installation.
What You'll Do:
- Model photovoltaic systems in PVSyst or Helioscope software for output production estimates
- Conduct project site surveys to determine existing field conditions and existing electrical infrastructure
- Design projects in accordance with building codes, best practices and project requirements
- Design project installation details, single-line diagrams, schedules and calculations for submission to stakeholders and approval authorities
- Create shop drawings and details for installation personnel for use in construction
- Scan building existing conditions via drone or ground-based scanners
- Create layouts in AutoCad based on existing conditions, building codes and customer requirements
- Collaborate with project managers, engineers and installation contractors to provide information necessary for installation
- Capture record drawings from field and update shop drawings from field markups and in-person visits
What You'll Need for Success:
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or electrical construction related field experience, licensed Professional Engineering (PE) license preferred.
- 5+ years experience in renewable energy electrical construction and design
- NABCEP, electrical engineering and/or AutoCad certification courses preferred
- In depth electrical knowledge and ability to calculate and conduct various electrical studies, including voltage drop, ampacity, power factor, arc fault, short circuit, protection coordination, protective relaying and equipment selection.
- General construction, electrical construction knowledge preferred
- Experience using AutoCad 2D, AutoCad 3D, Revit Modeling, Bluebeam Software, renewable energy modeling software
- Intermediate MS Office abilities
- High focus on quality and detail
- Strong client service and team orientation
- Ability to thrive in deadline-driven, pressured environment
