Role Overview

As Senior Grid and Development Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in bringing utility-scale clean energy projects from concept to grid energization across the Philippines. You will lead early-stage grid connection assessments, challenge and validate system impact and facilities studies, and steer interconnection coordination with NGCP and distribution utilities through testing, commissioning, and CATC issuance. Working closely with project development, EPC, and external stakeholders, you will optimize substation and transmission line specifications, provide technical input to permitting and regulatory submissions, and stay ahead of evolving grid and market dynamics-using data-driven insights (including WESM analysis) to shape site selection and development strategy.

Responsibilities

• Conduct preliminary grid connection assessments and recommend optimal interconnection schemes; prepare concise grid assessment reports.
• Review System Impact and Facilities Studies to validate assumptions, identify constraints, and assess grid risks.
• Prepare and consolidate interconnection requirements with NGCP and DUs, and lead coordination through testing, commissioning, energization, and CATC issuance.
• Provide technical input for permitting and regulatory submissions.
• Monitor grid and energy sector developments and regulatory issuances from NGCP, DUs, DOE, ERC, and WESM. Extract and analyze WESM data to inform project development strategy and site selection decisions.
• Review and optimize electrical equipment specifications for substations and transmission lines to align with technical and commercial objectives.
• Support construction activities by reviewing detailed EPC designs and overseeing installation, testing, and commissioning of substation and transmission line works in accordance with project requirements, grid codes, and applicable standards.
