Senior Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Contribute across multiple phases of solar PV projects, including site assessments, CAD drafting, design development, construction documentation, and construction support.
• Lead the development of complete electrical designs, ensuring high‑quality deliverables for concept, design development, and final construction packages.
• Design experience spanning both Commercial & Industrial (C&I) systems and utility‑scale ground‑mounted solar projects (5MW+).
• Familiarity with battery energy storage systems (BESS) is preferred; experience integrating storage into solar projects is a plus.

• Act as the primary design authority on assigned projects
• Independently produce complete electrical designs without requiring senior‑level review
• Maintain full responsibility for design accuracy, constructability, and code compliance
• Make final decisions on system layouts, equipment selection, and interpretation of applicable codes
• Deliver permit‑ready and issued‑for‑construction (IFC) drawing packages suitable for client submission
• Support and mentor junior engineers in preparing drawings and calculations
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy as a senior engineer, producing work with minimal oversight
• Participate in client meetings and technical discussions as needed
• Manage deliverables within established project budgets
• Execute engineering tasks independently, including:
  • Solar PV system design
  • Detailed energy modeling using PVsyst
  • Preparation of construction drawings using AutoCAD
  • Voltage drop analysis and conductor/raceway sizing
  • Short circuit and fault current calculations
  • Electrical distribution design and single‑line diagrams
  • Code compliance review
  • Development of project specifications
  • Protective device coordination and relay setting validation (where applicable)
  • Interconnection design strategy, including utility coordination and POI design
  • Medium voltage collection system design for utility‑scale projects
  • Identification and mitigation of system risks (e.g., voltage rise, thermal constraints, fault duty)

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of experience in commercial solar design
• Demonstrated ability to independently deliver full electrical design packages (not solely within a review‑heavy team structure)
• Experience serving as the final design authority for deliverables submitted to clients, utilities, or AHJs
• Strong ability to communicate and defend technical design decisions to external stakeholders
• Proven experience producing high‑quality construction documents in a senior design capacity while supporting junior team members
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and related design software
• Strong working knowledge of MS Office and industry tools such as ETAP and PVsyst
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
