Renewable Energy Engineer – Feasibility & System Design Role

In this role, you translate raw site data into actionable, bankable designs. You compare photovoltaic, wind, and storage scenarios, quantify yield with PVSyst, SAM, and HelioScope, then articulate the business case in crisp economic terms. Your analyses empower investors, utilities, and public agencies to green-light projects that cut carbon and boost returns.

Key Responsibilities  

- Lead early-stage feasibility studies, blending GIS insights with on-site assessments.  

- Distill resource measurements into precise energy-production models using PVSyst, SAM, and Homer Pro.  

- Engineer optimal system layouts in AutoCAD, balancing performance, constructability, and O&M access.  

- Draft technical specifications, single-line diagrams, and interconnection drawings that withstand utility scrutiny.  

- Perform life-cycle cost–benefit analysis, NPV, and IRR calculations to inform capital allocation.  

- Author clear, persuasive technology assessment and due-diligence reports for financiers.  

- Coordinate cross-functional teams—civil, structural, electrical—to align design milestones with permitting gates.  

- Provide grant-application support, weaving engineering narratives with policy requirements.  

- Maintain a living risk register; flag grid constraints, environmental impacts, and permitting hurdles early.  

- Champion safety, quality, and code compliance (NEC, IFC, ASCE) throughout the project life cycle.

Required Qualifications  

- Bachelor’s or higher in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or Energy Engineering.  

- 5 + years executing renewable energy projects ≥ 5 MW.  

- Mastery of PVSyst, HelioScope, SAM, AutoCAD, and advanced Excel modeling.  

- Fluency in interpreting wind and solar resource data sets (Meteonorm, NREL).  

- Demonstrated command of project-management tools (MS Project or equivalent).  

- Solid grounding in financial metrics, incentive structures, and interconnection standards.  

- Polished written and verbal communication; you convert technical jargon into clear guidance for non-technical stakeholders.  

- US work authorization and the discipline to thrive in a distributed, remote-first environment.

Preferred Extras  

- PE license or progress toward licensure.  

- Familiarity with battery-storage sizing and control strategies.  

- Experience supporting RFP processes for utilities or municipal entities.  

- Working knowledge of power-system studies (load flow, short-circuit).
