About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is required.
  • At least three years of relevant renewable energy industry experience demonstrating power system studies experience.
  • Experience with medium-voltage design and interconnection.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
  • Ability to communicate technical knowledge clearly and understandably.
  • Ability to develop knowledge of applicable engineering codes.

Responsibilities

  • Perform, review, and coordinate power system electrical studies and analyses, including thermal ampacity, short circuit, reactive power and load flow, grounding, protection coordination, insulation coordination, transient and switching overvoltage, and arc flash.
  • Independently apply engineering principles and practices to assignments and related fields, receiving broad guidance and additional direction on highly complex power system studies and interconnection assignments.
  • Review work produced by staff and sub-consultants for quality assurance.
  • Support existing and prospective clients and enhance client relationships through communication and project management.
  • Represent the project team in client communications and resolutions.
  • Perform AC and DC short-circuit calculations, AC and DC arc-flash studies, load-flow, grounding, ampacity studies, protection-device coordination, and transient and switching-overvoltage studies using SKM, ETAP, PSSE, WinIGS, CYMCAP, PSCAD, or similar software.
  • Develop study scopes, assumptions, methodologies, model inputs, data requests, and calculation packages.
  • Build, validate, and maintain electrical models for collector systems, substations, inverter-based resources, and auxiliary systems.
  • Complete complex tasks and designs within project assignments.
  • Review study inputs, results, reports, and recommendations; provide quality assurance, quality control, and technical feedback.
  • Coordinate with photovoltaic and battery energy storage system design engineers, substation engineers, original equipment manufacturers, utilities, and contractors to support project milestones.
  • Identify project issues and collaborate with clients, coworkers, and others to develop effective solutions.
  • Generate single-line diagrams and interpret requirements for utility interconnection application processes.
  • Report project progress to senior managers daily or weekly as needed.
  • Request financial, legal, and technical support as needed to keep projects on schedule.
  • Estimate the time required to perform tasks.
  • Oversee designs through project construction and completion.
  • Communicate with engineers, equipment manufacturers, and project stakeholders.
  • Conduct occasional field observation visits to document existing field conditions.
  • Organize and prioritize tasks to complete designs efficiently and sequentially.
  • Produce project study documents accurately to meet milestone schedules and predetermined hourly budgets.
  • Attend coordination, design, and weekly management meetings as needed.
  • Define and determine project specifications.
  • Address comments from clients, authorities having jurisdiction, and other review authorities, and adjust designs accordingly.
  • Review project-related construction administration items, such as shop drawings, requests for information, and change-order proposals, when directed.
  • Work within established project budgets.
  • Continue developing working knowledge of applicable discipline codes.
  • Attend occasional business-day travel, including possible out-of-area and overnight travel, as business needs require.

Desired Qualifications

  • A master's degree or PhD in electrical engineering or a related discipline is preferred.
  • A Professional Engineer license is preferred but not required.
  • Experience in the power systems industry working on substations, distribution and transmission systems, protection, and controls is highly desirable.
  • Knowledge of substation, solar photovoltaic, and battery energy storage system design is beneficial but not required.
