Role Purpose
The BESS Engineering team member will be responsible for the technical design, engineering, and integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across the company’s renewable energy portfolio. This role will drive technical due diligence, system architecture, vendor evaluation, detailed design, and support project execution from concept to commissioning, ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective deployment of BESS projects.
Roles And Responsibilities
Technical Expertise
- Work on engineering of utility-scale BESS projects (standalone and hybrid with solar/wind). BESS sizing and Modeling of RTC Projects with BESS
- Define system architecture, sizing, and configuration based on project requirements and grid codes.
- Develop and review single-line diagrams, system layouts, control logic, and protection schemes.
- Evaluate and finalize key components (cells, racks, PCS, BMS, EMS, transformers, switchgear, HVAC/fire systems).
Design & Engineering Management
- Prepare detailed design specifications, technical drawings, and engineering deliverables.
- Conduct energy modeling, performance simulations, degradation assessments, and lifecycle analysis.
- Ensure engineering designs meet safety, reliability, and performance standards as per IEC/IEEE/CEA/IS norms.
- Collaborate with civil, electrical, SCADA, and project teams for site integration. Relay Settings and configuration of numerical relays
Vendor & Stakeholder Coordination
- Support vendor evaluation, technology benchmarking, and bid technical assessment.
- Interface with OEMs, EPCs, and consultants for design optimization and technical clarifications.
- Provide engineering inputs during contract negotiation, FATs, and site inspections.
- Liaise with utilities, regulatory bodies, and system operators for grid compliance approvals.
Project Execution Support
- Provide technical oversight during project implementation, commissioning, and performance testing. Engineering of future configuration of BESS like developing a scheme of DC Coupling over the time
- Troubleshoot engineering issues during installation and operation phases.
- Capture lessons learned and update engineering standards and checklists.
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering / Power Systems / Energy Systems (or related field).
- 8 - 10 years of experience in renewable energy, with minimum 5 years in utility-scale BESS design and engineering.
- Strong knowledge of battery technologies (Li-ion, LFP, NMC), PCS/EMS systems, and grid interconnection requirements.
- Experience in hybrid project integration (Solar + BESS / Wind + BESS) is highly desirable.
- Proficiency in electrical design software (AutoCAD, ETAP, PSCAD, PVSyst) and MS Office.
- Familiarity with safety standards (NFPA, NEC, IEC, IEEE) and grid codes.
Key Skills & Competencies
- Strong technical problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Excellent stakeholder coordination and communication skills.
- Ability to work in cross-functional teams and manage multiple projects.
- Passion for clean energy and innovation.
