ANS has quickly become a major player in solar energy, battery storage, and broader renewable energy engineering space. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services, covering project development, engineering, procurement and construction, operations and maintenance, financing, and M&A. ANS aims to redefine the conventional relationship between engineers and clients, prioritizing agility, collaboration, and a deep understanding of client challenges.

Specializing in design analysis, detailed engineering, and development support for solar and energy storage projects across the United States, the company, while historically focused on geotechnical and electrical engineering, is further diversifying into the entire value stream of Renewable Development.

ANS has differentiated itself through a highly customer‑centric approach to their services; this is evident in their high customer retention, ability to command some of the highest premiums in the market, and market penetration of ~15% despite being a relatively lean team.

Commissioning is the intersection of design, construction, and manufacturing so an incredibly fun and challenging phase of the project. Utility scale battery projects require 4‑8+ months of testing before safe and reliable operation on the grid. As a Commissioning Engineer at ANS, you will be leading and ensuring project design and construction is meeting all contractual, code and local requirements. Completion of this review and sign off ensures clear mechanical completion and the project is ready for energization and testing.

To define success for the project we must evaluate the metrics from the owner and performance required for market operation. Operating within our Owners Engineering team, you will be leading the project through the commissioning process. Stakeholders include utilities, contractors, engineers, manufacturers, owners, and a variety of other parties. You will coordinate and lead commissioning activities, so the project achieves sync with the grid and is participating in markets.

To ensure commissioning success the candidate must develop comprehensive test plans, keep organized and detailed notes, and address any challenges head on.

• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• 1+ year of commissioning experience with an engineering degree, or 3+ years without.
• Knowledge of relevant codes and standards for energy storage systems and inverters.
• Strong understanding of plant controls and communication systems.
• Experience in construction, commissioning, and analytical problem‑solving.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Commitment to safety protocols and industry standards.
• Ability to delegate and collaborate effectively within a team.

• Communicate clearly with our client who is the Owner and operator of these projects. The main duty is to serve the owner’s best interest. Ensure the equipment purchased meets specifications, the project is built to approved design, the project meets interconnection requirements to operate on the grid, and lastly the project meets or exceeds the quantities being sold from the project (energy, capacity and ancillary services).
• Provide responses to close out the construction of the project by supporting the EPC and contractors to deem the project mechanically complete and…
