DLB recognizes salary ranges from jobboardsdo not necessarily reflect our pay  many instances we out-compete those ranges for well-qualified candidates.

DLB is expanding its energy storage engineering services and is seeking a Senior Power Engineer – Energy Storage to support and help grow this practice. This roleis responsible forthe engineering delivery of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), microgrid, and other inverter‑based resource (I ) interconnections across utility, renewable, data center, and industrial markets, from concept through construction, commissioning, and energization.

The Senior Power Engineer – Energy Storage will provide technical input, support engineering decisions, and represent the firm with clients, utilities, and partners.

This position is hands‑on, blending detailed engineering execution with quality‑focused delivery and support of business growth.

The Senior Power Engineer – Energy Storage works with a high degree of independence on day‑to‑day work and receives general direction on new projects, tasks, or assignments. Will execute projects, tasks, or assignments of complex scope.

May coordinate activities of other personnel.

The Senior Power Engineer – Energy Storage will communicate andoperatein line with organizational goals and values, as well as departmental objectives.

• Serve as a senior engineering contributor for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, performing advanced engineering work with general oversight. Perform detailed design, analysis, and engineering of BESS, microgrid, and other inverter‑based resource (I ) systems, ensuring compliance with customer requirements, utility requirements, industry standards, codesand regulations
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate BESS and I  designs seamlessly into larger electrical systems, including substation, generation, and grid interconnection infrastructure
• Support technical scoping, design, and utility/developer coordination for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), microgrid, and other inverter‑based resource (I ) interconnections at the medium‑and high‑voltage level, including protection philosophy, interconnection studies, and compliance with IEEE 1547 / IEEE 2800
• Contribute to engineering approaches, design standards, and technical risk management.
• Support project delivery as engineer of record (or in support of the EOR), contributing to technical accuracy, constructability, and code compliance.
• Apply and helpmaintainengineering standards, design criteria, and quality expectations for energy storage work.

• BESS one‑line, three‑line, and AC/DC schematics
• Physical layouts, equipment arrangements, and site plans for containerized/modular BESS installations
• DC architecture including battery racks, inverters/power conversion systems (PCS), and medium‑voltage collection systems
• Grounding systems and electrical safety designs
• Protection & control philosophies, relay schemes, and coordination
• BESS/microgrid interconnection one-lines, protection & control schemes, and anti‑islanding / transfer trip logic
• Fire detection/suppression and thermal management coordination with mechanical disciplines
• Develop and review equipment specifications for major BESS components including battery modules, power conversion systems (PCS), transformers, switch gear, protection relays, and communications/SCADA systems.
• Perform complex engineering studies with general guidance
• Perform and/or direct short‑circuit, arc flash (IEEE 1584), harmonic (IEEE 519), power flow, and EMT/transient…
