Job description

Engineering Manager, Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage (BESS)

We’re proud to be partnering closely with a fast-growing international energy technology company to appoint its Engineering Manager for the US.

Our partner designs and commercializes integrated lithium-ion BESS and software solutions for the utility market, supporting grid reliability and the rapid adoption of renewable generation. With an established engineering function at its global headquarters, it is now building out its US technical team, and this role will lead that growth.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll grow a small US engineering team into a high-performing function. You won’t be starting from scratch: you’ll draw on the depth of expertise, proven designs and resources of the HQ technical team while building local capability for the US utility market.

What you’ll do

• Grow and develop the US engineering team, hiring, mentoring and shaping its culture from an early stage
• Act as the technical bridge between the US and global HQ, adapting proven solutions to US grid codes, utility requirements and standards
• Lead utility-scale BESS projects technically from concept through interconnection and commissioning, across electrical, controls, communications and software
• Own site design, system layouts and equipment selection, and manage OEM engineering deliverables
• Establish US engineering standards and processes, ensuring compliance with UL, NEC, NFPA, IEEE and utility specifications
• Work with utilities, IPPs, EPCs, consultants and suppliers on proposals, design reviews and the product roadmap

What you’ll bring

• A bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems or a related field
• 8+ years in BESS, renewables or utility infrastructure (direct utility-scale BESS experience strongly preferred)
• 5+ years leading multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Deep knowledge of EMS, SCADA, plant controls and inverter technologies
• Strong understanding of US grid interconnection processes and utility standards
• Ideally, experience working with international or distributed teams

Why this role

• A senior seat with direct CEO access
• The chance to build a US team while backed by an established global engineering function
• Real influence on how the business scales in the US utility market
