- Strong knowledge of PV and BESS engineering, design, and construction principles including power engineering fundamentals, major system components, constructability considerations, utility interconnection and acceptance processes, and performance optimization principles.
- Strong working knowledge of industry-standard PV and BESS design codes, engineering principles, and construction methods, including but not limited to NEC, IBC, and IFC.
- Demonstrated ability to independently prioritize and manage multiple projects and tasks, identify critical path schedule items, and proactively anticipate and resolve construction challenges. Specific experience in roles where this is a core responsibility.
- Strong understanding of the DG and community solar market, including utility, state, and regional nuances, and how project execution differs from C&I and utility-scale PV.
- Proficiency reading and interpreting outputs from CAD and energy modeling tools, including AutoCAD and PVSYST or equivalent platforms, and using those outputs to support technical decision-making.
