Microgrid Electrical Engineer

Initially in this role, we envision you will:

• Act as a technical consultant to customers and internal teams, providing guidance on microgrid control protections and relay systems.
• Review and comment on engineering plans, relay settings, and documentation, ensuring compliance with utility standards and best practices.
• Offer direction and recommendations on programming, configuration, and control logic without performing hands‑on implementation.
• Support commissioning efforts by providing markup, feedback, and technical advice rather than direct execution.
• Serve as a trusted advisor, helping customers make informed decisions and ensuring system reliability through consultative support.

• Designing and implementing control protections and relay systems for microgrid applications.
• Programming and configuring relay hardware and control devices directly.
• Developing and troubleshooting ladder logic and other control schemes hands‑on.
• Leading full‑service offerings, including design, implementation, and commissioning as part of our paid service portfolio.
• Driving innovation and shaping our microgrid solutions as we expand into a more comprehensive service model.

• Electrical engineering principles for power systems and microgrids.
• Control protections, relay systems, and utility interconnection standards.
• Ladder logic and basic PLC programming concepts.
• Programming and configuring relay hardware.
• Reviewing engineering plans and relay files for compliance.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Design and maintain microgrid control systems.
• Work independently and manage multiple technical tasks.
• Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field (required).
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or Renewable Energy (preferred but not mandatory).
• Additional coursework or certifications in relay protection, control systems, or ladder logic programming is an asset.
• 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on power systems or microgrid applications.
• Hands‑on experience with control protections and relay systems, including configuration and troubleshooting.
• Proven ability to program and configure relay hardware and interpret ladder logic for control systems.
• Experience reviewing engineering plans, relay files, and utility interconnection requirements.
• Familiarity with SCADA systems, PLC programming, and industry‑standard relay configuration tools.
• Exposure to renewable energy integration and distributed energy resources (preferred).

Applications will be accepted until January 11, 2026.
