This position ensures that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the electrical engineering design and technical planning for commercial and industrial solar projects.
• Develop single-line diagrams, electrical layouts, and interconnection plans in compliance with NEC, local codes, and utility requirements.
• Collaborate with sales, permitting, and construction teams to ensure accurate project scoping and seamless execution.
• Conduct feasibility studies, system sizing, and performance modeling for proposed solar installations.
• Review and approve technical submittals, vendor equipment, and material specifications.
• Support utility interconnection processes, including application submissions and coordination with utility engineers.
• Perform site visits to evaluate conditions, assess risks, and verify design assumptions.
• Troubleshoot technical issues during construction and commissioning phases.
• Maintain project documentation, drawings, and records in accordance with company standards.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field).
• 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering or power systems design.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, including load flow, protection, and distribution.
• Experience with AutoCAD, electrical modeling, or design software.
• Familiarity with NEC codes and utility interconnection requirements.
• Excellent project management, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Some experience with solar design or renewable energy projects (training provided).
• Knowledge of inverters, racking, and balance-of-system components.
• Professional Engineer (PE) or EIT certification.
• Experience with CT utility interconnection processes.
• Knowledge of energy storage integration and hybrid solar solutions.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunity to work on impactful renewable energy projects.
• Collaborative and growth-oriented work environment.
• Hybrid or flexible work options.
