Responsibilities

  • Conduct site assessments and compile data required for feasibility studies, including load profiles, utility rate structures, and onsite generation potential.

  • Apply financial modeling techniques such as LCOE and IRR/NPV to support DER solution development.

  • Navigate incomplete site data, legacy drawings, and brownfield conditions to produce reliable project estimates and preliminary designs.

  • Support scope, schedule, and cost management during the preliminary design phase.

  • Design and analyze electrical distribution systems, BESS, solar PV, CHP, and microgrid controllers across assigned projects.

  • Contribute to Scope of Work (SOW) documentation for EPC partners under the direction of senior engineers.

  • Communicate technical findings clearly to project team members and external stakeholders.

  • Support client-facing presentations and briefings on DER system design, economics, and operational value.

  • Utilize modeling platforms (HOMER, Xendee, ETB, etc.) and discounted cash flow (DCF) tools to support project economic analysis.

  • Collaborate within cross-functional teams of power engineers, project managers, and software developers.

  • Prepare and contribute to contract documents in accordance with industry standards and internal best practices.

  • Support Measurement & Verification (M&V) activities, including review and analysis of post-commissioning performance data for peak shaving and energy arbitrage outcomes.

  • Contribute to ensuring consistency between modeled performance and implemented systems.

  • 4–6 years of experience in distributed energy resources (DER), microgrids, and energy solutions development.

  • 4–6 years of working knowledge of power systems, including electrical distribution, DER integration (solar, BESS, CHP), and commercial & industrial energy infrastructure.

  • Project Development experience: $1M – $20M+ project size.

  • Experience in technical writing and preparation of proposals.

  • Professional certifications and licenses: P.E/P.Eng., CEM, LEED-AP.

  • Experience with Microsoft Visio to generate detailed schematics.

  • Experience with Microsoft Project to create and manage complex projects.

  • Experience with Microsoft PowerPoint to create customer / internal presentations.

  • Familiarity with building control systems.

  • Preferably one or more key areas of specialization such as battery energy storage systems (BESS), Solar PV, electrification (boilers, heat pumps, VRF, etc.), geothermal.

  • Knowledge of Honeywell and competitor platforms, products, and technologies.

  • Strong verbal and written communications skills.

  • Familiarity with industry regulatory requirements and future mandates.

  • Familiarity with energy and carbon reduction project grants and incentive programs.
