The job description

Tech stack. ETAP, SKM PowerTools, AutoCAD Electrical, PVsyst, HOMER Pro, Python, SCADA historians, utility tariff databases

About the role

You will join an energy solutions company that develops power projects for commercial, industrial, and institutional customers, from first site visit through commissioning. The engineering team owns feasibility analysis, system design, and technical due diligence, and your work decides which projects move forward and which do not. This role matters because the load studies you run, the equipment you specify, and the financial models you build are the foundation every downstream decision rests on, so rigor here multiplies across the whole portfolio.

What you will achieve

Deliver 10 to 15 bankable feasibility studies per year, each with CAPEX estimates that land within 15 percent of final installed cost and energy models validated against metered data
Cut design cycle time by 20 percent by building reusable calculation templates, standard equipment libraries, and automated reporting scripts the whole team adopts
Own electrical one-line diagrams, load calculations, arc-flash study inputs, and protection coordination for projects up to 20 MW across multiple sites
Drive project economics past the company hurdle rate by modeling NPV, IRR, and payback across utility tariffs, incentive programs, and financing structures
Ship commissioning-ready documentation packages that let field teams energize systems on schedule with zero design-caused rework or change orders

What you will bring

Must-haves

2 to 5 years of experience in energy, power systems, or electrical engineering roles with built projects you can point to
Solid grasp of power systems fundamentals including load flow, short-circuit analysis, voltage drop, and protection coordination
Proficiency with at least one analysis platform such as ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or EasyPower, plus AutoCAD for drawing production
Ability to read, redline, and produce electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, and panel schedules without supervision
Working knowledge of the NEC as applied to power installations, grounding, and overcurrent protection
Strong spreadsheet and financial modeling skills for energy production estimates and project economics
Clear technical writing for reports that executives, customers, and non-engineers can act on

Nice-to-haves

EIT certification or active progress toward a PE license
Hands-on experience with solar PV, battery storage, or backup generation projects
Familiarity with utility interconnection applications and net metering rules
Exposure to measurement and verification protocols such as IPMVP
