• Perform and/or review technical calculations and engineering assessments for renewable energy projects and associated electrical infrastructure.

• Support BESS sizing, inverter and PCS selection, Energy Management System (EMS) integration, and battery system configuration.

• Assist in evaluating PV modules, inverters, transformers, switchgear, wind turbine systems, and other electrical equipment.

• Assist in the design and evaluation of data center power supply systems, including reliability, redundancy, backup power, and energy efficiency requirements.

• Review vendor and EPC technical submissions, drawings, specifications, and datasheets for compliance with project requirements and applicable standards.
  

2. Grid Connection & Power Systems

• Support grid connection feasibility studies, applications, and technical submissions for renewable energy, energy storage and data center projects.

• Perform and/or review load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, harmonic, and other power system studies as required.

• Assist in assessing MV/HV substations, transmission lines, transformers, and grid connection infrastructure.

• Support the preparation and review of SCADA, protection, control, and metering system designs.

• Coordinate with utilities, consultants, and EPC contractors to resolve grid connection and electrical engineering issues.
  

3. Project Engineering & Delivery

• Support engineering activities throughout the project lifecycle, from feasibility and design through procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning.

• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, engineering calculations, equipment specifications, technical reports, and design review comments.

• Conduct technical evaluations of equipment suppliers, EPC contractors, and engineering consultants.

• Participate in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), inspections, testing, and commissioning activities for electrical and energy equipment.

• Monitor engineering deliverables and identify technical risks, design issues, and potential project delays.

• Support troubleshooting and resolution of technical issues during construction and commissioning.
  

4. Technical Coordination & Quality Assurance

• Coordinate technical interfaces between electrical, civil, mechanical, control, and process engineering disciplines.

• Review engineering drawings and documentation to ensure consistency with project specifications, contractual requirements, and applicable codes.

• Support technical due diligence and feasibility assessments for new projects and investment opportunities.

• Assist in identifying opportunities for system optimization, cost reduction, performance improvement, and technology enhancement.

• Ensure engineering activities comply with relevant IEC, IEEE, NFPA, local utility requirements, and other applicable standards.
  

5. Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination

• Coordinate with EPC contractors, consultants, equipment suppliers, utilities, and project partners on technical matters.

• Participate in technical meetings, design reviews, and project discussions.

• Support communication and technical coordination with international project teams and equipment suppliers, including counterparts in China.

• Prepare technical presentations, reports, and recommendations for internal management and project stakeholders.
