  • Partner with cross-functional teams (Legal, Finance, Development, Construction) on technical aspects of projects.
  • Visit sites as needed to support commissioning, troubleshooting, and design clarifications.
  • Support technical scope development for behind-the-meter, islanded, and grid-connected load strategies, including design oversight, constructability reviews, operability assessments, and commissioning readiness.
  • As applicable to the team, support on-site power generation design (e.g., generator sets, electrical topology, protection and controls) and integration with UPS/BESS/microgrid controllers.

About You (Skills / Qualifications)

Required

Preferred

● Experience supporting data center or large industrial power infrastructure.

● Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Power Systems.
