• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in at least one U.S. state with the ability to become licensed in multiple states.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in power systems engineering with emphasis on distributed generation (DG) and utility‑scale renewable energy projects.
• Proven experience managing multi‑disciplinary engineering teams.
• Proficiency in electrical modeling and analysis tools (e.g., ETAP, SKM, DIgSILENT, PSCAD, PSS/E, Power Factory).
• Proficiency with AutoCAD.
• Experience with PVsyst, Helioscope, PVCase, SAM, or other PV modeling tools.
• Expertise in NEC, NESC, IEEE standards, and utility interconnection requirements.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with client‑facing experience.
