Job Role-BESS

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled Engineer to join our team focused on Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) integration. The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of experience in the design, implementation, and commissioning of BESS projects, with a solid understanding of key BESS components and system-level integration.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and support BESS integration activities, ensuring seamless interfacing between battery systems, power conversion systems (PCS), energy management systems (EMS), and other auxiliary components.
• Evaluate and select appropriate BESS components (e.g., batteries, inverters, BMS, HVAC, SCADA) based on technical specifications and project requirements.
• Develop system-level integration drawings, single-line diagrams, and control logic architecture.
• Coordinate with internal engineering teams and external vendors to ensure compatibility and interoperability of different BESS components.
• Support the commissioning and testing of BESS installations, including functional testing, performance validation, and troubleshooting.
• Assist in defining and implementing safety measures, including compliance with relevant standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE, UL) and local codes.
• Provide technical expertise to resolve integration challenges during the design, construction, and operational phases.
• Maintain documentation, including technical reports, integration test plans, and system configurations.
• Stay updated on technological advancements in BESS and contribute to continuous improvement of system design and integration practices.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in electrical engineering, Power Systems, or a related field.
• 3-5 years of experience in BESS projects, preferably including system integration.
• Solid understanding of key BESS components such as batteries (lithium-ion preferred), inverters/PCS, BMS, HVAC, and protection systems.
• Experience with system-level design and integration of renewable energy solutions (e.g., solar + storage) is a plus.
• Familiarity with relevant standards and codes (e.g., IEC 62933, IEEE 1547, UL 9540, NEC).
• Proficiency in electrical design software (e.g., AutoCAD, ETAP, PSCAD) and control/monitoring systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a hands-on approach to troubleshooting.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with microgrid solutions or hybrid renewable systems.
• Familiarity with SCADA integration and communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, IEC 61850).
• Knowledge of energy management systems and optimization strategies for BESS.
