Build an exciting, rewarding career with us – help us make a difference for millions of people every day. Consider joining the Duke Energy team, where you'll find a friendly work environment, opportunities for growth and development, recognition for your work, and competitive pay and benefits.

The Engineer I position is the entry level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees in the Engineer I position solve problems in engineering areas of specialization with close supervision. An Engineer I is expected to develop skills and the ability to work with greater independence. An Engineer I is expected to have knowledge of fundamental concepts of electric power systems.

This position will develop engineering and technical skills to support various Duke Energy internal groups in pursuit of self-developing battery energy storage and microgrid projects.  Applicants are expected to have engineering skills related to power system modeling and analysis of distribution and/or transmission electric systems and understand inverter-based resources (I ) such as battery energy storage systems (BESS) and microgrids but also have familiarity with other renewable technology such as solar.

This position will:
· Provide engineering support to technical matters throughout the development process with a heavy focus on BESS and microgrid siting analysis and design, power system modeling, and integration of distributed energy technologies in Duke Energy regulated jurisdictions.
· Utilize knowledge of BESS and microgrid project engineering, electric generating facilities, utility interconnection requirements, inverter/plant control, metering schemes, and power system steady state analysis to evaluate, identify, and mitigate technical risks associated with proposed project designs.
· Provide engineering support through detailed design, construction, and commissioning of distribution-connected and transmission-connected battery energy storage projects.
· Develop performance testing criteria and evaluate test results during site commissioning.
· Provide I  site model support that includes but is not limited to: transmission and distribution steady state analysis, dynamic studies, and EMT analysis for all BESS sites.

This position must work collaboratively with key internal stakeholders, including Project Management and Construction (PMC), Supply Chain, Transmission, Distribution, Generation, IT, Interconnection, and Health & Safety among others.  The position will also require working with third-party consultants, equipment vendors, system integrators, and Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) firms.
