JOB DESCRIPTION

Hunt Energy Network (HEN), founded in 2018, specializes in delivering world‑class clean energy solutions. The company provides comprehensive support across the project lifecycle, from securing land leases and developing energy infrastructure to navigating the complex regulatory landscape of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) power market. HEN develops and deploys advanced energy storage assets that supply ERCOT with a distributed, coordinated fleet of fast‑responding resources to help efficiently balance the grid. Its proprietary TraDER platform automates trading and settlement activities across the portfolio while optimizing project siting and asset performance. With nearly one in six BESS assets in ERCOT, Hunt Energy Network is among the market’s leading operators.

Position Summary

Hunt Energy Network is developing large-scale islanded (behind‑the‑meter) power campuses serving hyperscale AI data center loads, anchored by a multi‑hundred‑MW natural gas engine and BESS program currently in active development. This hybrid role pairs commercial origination with hands‑on project execution: the Manager will advance offtake and partnership opportunities for the islanded power platform while managing day‑to‑day development execution — vendors, permits, schedule, and budget — under the Vice President of EPC. The role also supports evaluation and execution of broader business development and M&A opportunities across the Hunt energy platform.

Responsibilities

• Review and coordinate electrical design deliverables: one-line diagrams, 34.5 kV / 13.8 kV MV collector and distribution design, switchgear specifications, protection and relay coordination, and grounding — across the owner's engineer, OEM, and EPC.
• Support power system studies: short-circuit/fault current (ETAP), load flow, arc flash, harmonics, and grid-forming BESS integration studies for islanded (off-grid) operation; track study inputs and reconcile results against equipment ratings.
• Coordinate generator electrical integration: genset alternator data, paralleling and controls interfaces, transformer and cable schedules, and factory/site acceptance test review.
• Maintain project electrical analyses: generation capacity and redundancy (N+X) cases, energization ramp sequencing, auxiliary load estimates, and BESS sizing inputs against load-swing requirements.
• Prepare and quality-check technical documents: RFIs, vendor technical requests, purchase order technical exhibits, and permit application electrical inputs; track vendor deliverables and interfaces to closure.
• Attend design reviews, factory witness tests, and site visits; support commissioning planning as the program moves to execution.

Required Skills

• Working knowledge of MV power systems: switchgear, transformers, protective relaying, and cable systems; exposure to power system study tools (ETAP, SKM, or PSCAD) strongly preferred.
• Strong analytical and documentation skills — able to translate study results and vendor data into decision-ready summaries for senior stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel to project sites, factory tests, and vendor locations (~15–25%).

Required Experience

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (power systems emphasis preferred); EIT/FE a plus.
• 2–5 years of experience in power generation, utility/industrial electrical design, data centers, or EPC electrical engineering.
• Familiarity with any of the following is a plus: reciprocating engine gensets or turbines, BESS/inverter‑based resources and grid‑forming controls, islanded/microgrid operation, or NEC/IEEE standards for generation facilities.

Company Highlights

• For 90 years, we have nurtured creative ideas and turned them into successful realities using three core strategic pillars – creativity, excellence, and people
• 401K – 12% employer contribution with no vesting period (6% Match and 6% non‑matching contribution)
• Highly competitive compensation
• Hybrid work options available for most roles

• All Medical/Dental/Vision benefits start day one with the company; low employee premiums
• Education Assistance Program
