Projects will include contributions to the development of construction drawings, technical specifications, contract documents, permit applications and calculations for projects involving renewable energy system components, including photovoltaic solar technology, battery energy storage systems, electrical substations, wind turbines and electric transmission and distribution facilities. Diverse and broad-based experiences, both in office and field settings, should be anticipated. This is a full time (40 hours a week) limited-term role with a duration of 12 months, extendable.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Review and prepare high-voltage electrical engineering design including substations, switchyards, transmission and distribution lines, and associated infrastructure.
• Review and prepare electrical designs, including one- and three-line diagrams, power calculations, electrical power systems, components, and control systems.
• Review and prepare power system studies (e.g., load flow, short circuit, protective coordination, arc flash analysis etc.).
• Understanding of PSCAD model development and analysis.
• Preparation of one line and three-line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, bill of materials, wire schedule, and interconnection diagrams.
• Construction and field experience including field and factory witnessing testing of high voltage equipment and systems.
• Developing electrical construction and equipment specifications.
• Supporting projects during construction, start-up, and commissioning as needed.
• Prepare and support cable routing, converter station facility studies, and transmission line studies and siting and routing reports.
• Understanding and ability to prepare and complete interconnection applications.
• Prepare application packages for analyzing power system performance, conducting studies (e.g., load flow, grounding, fault analysis, etc.) and optimizing system efficiency for solar, BESS, and wind projects and high-voltage infrastructure.
• Evaluate field data, perform calculations, prepare engineering reports, cost estimates, and comprehensive schedules and develop progress-tracking reports.
• Conduct field investigations, construction oversight and quality assurance activities and provide field exploration support as needed for design parameter development, and during construction for oversight and Construction Quality Assurance purposes.
• Prepare technical proposals and participate in business development with existing clients and identified leads. Assist clients in developing strategies and preparing designs for proposed facilities, and prepare project work scopes, schedules and budgets.
• Provide technical expertise to navigate complex technical/regulatory issues in the renewable energy and power sectors.
• Participate in project teams and independently on a global platform in varying settings that demand new and creative solutions.
• Interact with scientists in the site investigation, risk management, and planning disciplines as integrated teams as well as engineers in design and construction.

REQUIREMENTS:

• B.S. / M.S. in Electrical Engineering preferred, with a focus on power systems, electrical components, and generation, transmission, and distribution applications.
• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or Professional Engineering a plus.
• 10+ years of technical experience in electrical design emphasizing power systems and transmission infrastructure. Candidates with significantly more experience or high performing candidates with less experience are encouraged to apply
• Experience with Microsoft Project resourcing and scheduling, familiarity with power system simulation, and modeling software e.g., PSS, PSCAD, etc.). Strong computer skills and proficient with productivity software (e.g., Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Experience with industry codes and standards (NEC, NESC, IEEE, etc.).
• Able to lead engineering tasks with strong communication skills (written and verbal).
• Experience with full EPC, Design/Build projects from start to finish.
• Owner's Engineering, Plant Startup and Commissioning Field Experience.
• Advanced knowledge of the local regulatory climate, with proven negotiation skills with state and local regulators.
• Demonstrated ability to research and prepare concise and accurate technical documents, with a keen attention to detail.
• Excellent writing, communication, strategic thinking, and "people" skills.
• Ability and willingness to travel (approx. 20 percent of the time)
