Our client is filling this contract position exclusively through approved staffing partners, so this opportunity is not available by applying directly with the client. If you're interested, we'd be happy to represent you throughout the hiring process.

Required (remote):

• Experience with leading engineering teams and providing oversight for major energy infrastructure projects (11+ years).
• Experience with planning, organizing, and managing engineering projects with advanced knowledge application, balancing cost, reliability, and performance.
• Experience with supervising a team of engineers and overseeing design development, permitting, and compliance for energy infrastructure.
• Experience with detailed technical assessments, engineering design reviews, and compliance verifications for power delivery projects.
• Experience with bridging the gap between conceptual engineering and field execution, ensuring best practices are applied throughout the project lifecycle.
• Bachelor of Science in Engineering.

Preferred (remote):

• Experience with engineering in power, energy, data center, or industrial infrastructure projects (5+ years).
• Experience with power system fundamentals: one-line diagrams, protection and controls, grounding, arc flash, and interconnection.
• Experience with reviewing and coordinating engineering deliverables with external design firms or Engineers of Record (EORs).
• Experience with validating software-generated engineering results against accepted calculations.
• Professional Engineering (PE).
• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (or related field).

Responsibilities (remote):

• Perform engineering assignments ranging from limited scope and complexity to advanced engineering projects requiring expertise in multiple disciplines.
• Assist with project management, negotiations, performance tracking, and reporting.
• Plan, organize, and manage engineering projects, ensuring regulatory compliance, and leading technical teams.
• Engage in decision-making, technical analysis, project coordination, and engineering oversight, with a focus on utility-scale solar, BESS, and power plant operations.
• Work as an extension of the engineering team, ensuring designs meet project specifications, safety standards, and long-term performance and reliability goals.
• Review one-line diagrams, equipment specifications, electrical calculations, design drawings, and technical studies for accuracy, completeness, and constructability for utility-scale BESS and other inverter-based resource projects.
• Support engineering activities involving batteries, power conversion systems and inverters, transformers, switch gear, cables, grounding, protection, controls, and auxiliary power systems, and support their technical evaluation.

Required (onsite):

• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a related field.
