Job Description
Enfinity Global is seeking an experienced BESS Engineering Director to lead the engineering and technical function for battery energy storage systems across our global Storage pipeline. This newly created role owns the technical and engineering definition of our BESS assets end to end — from system architecture and technology selection through design, integration, and engineering oversight during construction and commissioning. The role is the engineering authority for BESS within the organization, setting design standards, defining system specifications, and providing the engineering basis for vendor evaluation and procurement.

This is an engineering leadership position, not a commercial or business development role.

We are looking for a strong technical profile with solid experience in BESS technologies, vendor ecosystems, procurement structures, and price benchmarking. The ideal candidate will bring deep sector knowledge from a leading storage provider and the ability to align technical choices with commercial and operational priorities

Provide the engineering lead in support of Procurement on vendor selection and mid- to long-term technical strategy, defining the technical requirements and ensuring solutions meet the project’s engineering, performance, and sustainability requirements.

Engage major BESS vendors (e.g., Fluence, Wartsila, Sungrow, Tesla, Jinko, CATL, E-Storage) to assess technical capabilities, design maturity, performance, and engineering differentiation.

Lead the technical and engineering due diligence during procurement, including design review, performance modeling, warranty terms, degradation, and long-term reliability metrics.

Construction Phase Support

Provide engineering oversight during the execution and construction of BESS hybrid and stand-alone projects globally, ensuring compliance with the engineering design, safety standards, and project timelines. Coordinate with EPC contractors and engineers to resolve design and site-level challenges.
