We are seeking an experienced Site Design Engineer to design and optimize site layouts for the installation of fuel cell systems in various environments, with a strong focus on creating layouts for new customers. This role requires a deep understanding of construction standards, the ability to collaborate effectively with top Civil Eng. firms, and the expertise to reduce installation costs through innovative construction methods and strategies.

You will work closely with clients to ensure their specific needs are met while developing cost-effective, code-compliant site layouts that facilitate efficient fuel cell system integration.

• Site Layout Design for Fuel Cell Systems: Develop and design site layouts for the installation of fuel cell systems for new customers, including equipment placement, power distribution, and auxiliary systems. Ensure layouts are optimized for space, safety, operational efficiency, and scalability, tailored to each customer's specific needs.
• Customer-Specific Design and Customization: Collaborate directly with new customers to understand their unique energy requirements and site constraints. Create customized site layouts that meet customer expectations while optimizing operational and construction efficiency. Provide technical expertise and support throughout the design process.
• Cost Optimization & Innovative Construction Methods: Identify opportunities to reduce installation costs without compromising quality or safety. Work with EPC firms and internal product designers to introduce innovative construction methods and materials, such as modular or prefabricated solutions, to improve efficiency and reduce on-site labor costs. Manage the requirements between the EPC firms and product design.
• Collaboration with EPC Firms: Work closely with EPC contractors to ensure that site layouts align with the design requirements, construction capabilities, and cost constraints. Provide technical guidance to EPC teams and identify opportunities to reduce construction costs and timelines through innovative construction methods.
• Construction Standards & Code Compliance: Ensure that all designs meet relevant industry standards, safety regulations, and building codes (e.g., NFPA, OSHA, IEC). Ensure that site layouts comply with local zoning and permitting requirements.
• System Integration & Layout Optimization: Integrate fuel cell systems with existing infrastructure, such as electrical distribution and backup power systems. Design layouts that allow for seamless integration, with a focus on system performance, ease of access for maintenance, and long-term reliability.
