EngineeringPower Systems Engineer

This is a senior power engineering role focused on helping utility-scale solar PV and battery energy storage projects connect safely and reliably to the electrical grid.
You will lead complex power system studies while applying engineering judgment to evaluate technical challenges, risks, and design trade-offs.
The role combines power systems analysis, renewable energy engineering, project leadership, client engagement, and technical mentoring.
You will work across multiple projects, taking ownership of defined scopes, schedules, budgets, deliverables, and technical outcomes.
Your work will directly support the development of renewable energy infrastructure and help project partners make informed engineering decisions.
You will collaborate with clients, engineers, and project teams while guiding less-experienced professionals on complex assignments.
This opportunity is well suited to an experienced power systems engineer who is analytical, detail-oriented, and motivated by impactful work in the clean energy sector.

As a Power Systems Engineer III, you will independently lead multiple projects or significant portions of complex assignments while delivering high-quality technical studies, designs, documentation, and client support.

Perform and lead power system studies, including protective device coordination, short circuit, arc flash, load flow, ampacity, grounding, harmonic, and power quality analyses.
Design electrical collection systems, including cable routing and cable sizing.
Develop equipment specifications and apply knowledge of renewable energy technologies, including solar PV modules, inverters, BESS, transformers, cable management systems, and balance-of-system components.
Prepare technical reports and presentations explaining completed studies, recommended solutions, and project value.
Ensure engineering work complies with applicable company, industry, trade, jurisdictional, safety, and electrical standards and codes.
Lead multiple projects with varying levels of complexity while managing scope, schedules, deliverables, and deadlines.
Evaluate, select, and apply established engineering procedures, standards, and technical criteria.
Prepare and maintain project documentation and engineering deliverables.
Support client interactions across multiple projects and participate confidently in project meetings.
Assign tasks to and provide direction for less-experienced team members.
Mentor staff engineers and contribute to the development of engineering capabilities within the team.
Assist with proposals and the development of professional engineering service offerings.
Present specific aspects of engineering assignments to clients and project stakeholders with a high level of technical proficiency.
Apply sound professional judgment to unconventional or complex engineering problems and adapt techniques when project criteria conflict or require new approaches.
Review completed work to ensure technical quality, accuracy, and appropriate engineering judgment.
Meet project deliverables and deadlines while maintaining a high standard of technical quality.
Perform additional engineering and project responsibilities as assigned.
