Description

ABOUT THE ROLE
The

Electrical Systems Engineer

will be responsible for the electrical system level design and analysis of solar & BESS energy facilities, substation interconnect facilities, along with review and revision of commercial and utility plan sets for photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Storage (BESS) system installations and site survey sketches.

Plan sets include electrical layouts, one-lines, BOM's, schematics, structural details, material take-offs, and equipment specifications. Systems include auxiliary power, backup power, fire protection, security, lighting, and communication.

They will work closely with customers and other engineering and design team members and contractors to coordinate the overall design packages and requirements and help transition the designs to the field where they will ensure the successful construction and energization of the project.
