As the primary technical interface between vendors, customers, and subcontractors, you will lead the interaction of these parties during project interconnection, design, construction and commissioning. To excel in this role, you must demonstrate expertise in engineering review, practical problem-solving, strategic planning, multi‑party coordination, and optimizing engineering processes.

Position responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Serve as a key technical expert in the integration of energy storage products into project designs, ensuring compliance with ISO, NERC, NFPA, and other relevant standards.
• Review engineering deliverables (e.g., documentation, calculations, design sets, RFI responses) from multiple disciplines, and respond to RFIs and submittals.
• Assess and mitigate project risks related to design, certification, testing, systems integration, and commissioning.
• Collaborate with and possess a deep technical understanding of deliverables from battery/PCS/EMS vendors, ISOs, utilities, IPPs, EPCs, NRTLs, third‑party QA/QC, and engineering consulting firms.
• Lead and coordinate commissioning activities between various stakeholders for both utility‑scale and DG‑scale projects.
• Provide technical mentorship and leadership to junior and mid‑level Project Engineers, focusing on core competencies in system design and commissioning best practices.
• Act as a subject matter expert, guiding technical decisions and troubleshooting complex design or field issues across the project life.
