• Support the development, design, and implementation of distributed energy resource (DER) projects, with a particular focus on solar PV, battery energy storage, and microgrids.
• Conduct site visits to customer facilities to gather project information, assess existing conditions, and support technical evaluations.
• Perform engineering analyses to develop preliminary system layouts, estimate energy production, and prepare conceptual cost estimates.
• Assist in the preparation of conceptual and detailed engineering design packages, including scopes of work, drawings, narratives, and technical specifications.
• Develop requests for proposals and support the evaluation of third-party engineering firms across electrical, civil, and geotechnical disciplines.
• Support the evaluation of subcontractor bids and equipment vendor proposals to help determine best-value selections based on performance, cost, constructability, and warranty considerations.
• Prepare technical content for project proposals, reports, and presentations, clearly communicating project progress, key challenges, and recommended solutions.
• Help manage project changes and technical interventions to support successful project outcomes.
• Provide engineering support throughout all phases of the project lifecycle, including proposal development, design, construction, commissioning, and operations.

• Ensure designs and project recommendations meet customer needs and comply with applicable codes, standards, specifications, and industry best practices.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with colleagues, customers, subcontractors, and external partners.
• Partner with Project Managers to support customer communications, project coordination, status updates, and resolution of design and construction-phase issues.
• Coordinate with subcontractors and vendors to support quality control and help ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in alignment with customer expectations.
• Travel as required.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in an engineering discipline from an accredited four-year college or university.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in an engineering, project development, or related technical role.
• Ability to review confidential U.S. security information.

Additional Qualifications

• Experience supporting projects involving solar PV, battery energy storage systems, cogeneration, microgrids, and power systems.
• Experience using whole-building energy modeling and/or solar PV modeling software.
• Experience supporting the construction phase of project development.
• Working knowledge of engineering principles related to other energy technologies such as boilers, chillers, HVAC systems, building automation systems, building envelope systems, and water/steam distribution systems.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical information clearly to a range of stakeholders.
• Licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE), or progress toward PE licensure.
