Electrical Engineer (BESS Focus)

Electrical Engineer (BESS Focus)AECOM has a position available for an Electrical Engineer to strengthen our talented team of engineers and designers working on renewable projects across the country for the US Energy Practice. For this role, AECOM offers the freedom and flexibility to work remotely and/or be located at a variety of Energy offices located in multiple locations across the United States.Our team provides a wide range of engineering services in support of projects across the country with renewable project scopes such as commercial and industrial installations focused on resiliency, efficiency and reliability as well as those utility scale projects seeking to power communities via interconnected networks or high-density installations. Areas of focus include solar photovoltaics (PV), including new technologies in agrivoltaics and floating PV, energy storage (e.g. BESS, supercapacitors), interconnection, wind repowering, next generation energy generation (e.g. fuel cells), new site development, data centers and more.Focused on a BESS experience, we are looking for a strong candidate with a power engineering background to promote our skills to new clients and maintain our existing client base.Qualified candidates are those established technical leaders with a diverse background in distributed energy solutions committed to quality project delivery with an interest and curiosity in devising innovative solutions.The responsibilities include, but may not be limited to, the following:Responsible for the electrical engineering design work on assigned projects under the guidance of senior staffWork with Project Engineer and Project Manager on developing design schedules and budgets for electrical engineering work activitiesSolar PV and BESS system design including array layouts, DC string sizing, equipment layouts, and utility interconnections for rooftop, carport, and ground mount (fixed tilt and single-axis tracking) systemsSolar PV and BESS system energy production modellingDeveloping construction and equipment specificationsEngineering calculations (NEC maximum system voltage, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection sizing, utility disconnect requirements, voltage drop, and conduit sizing)Engineering development and support of construction drawing developments – one lines, network diagrams, etc.PV and BESS system cost estimation and payback evaluationsDC and low to medium voltage power distribution designSupporting projects through complete life cycle including the feasibility phase, preliminary and detailed design, issue-for-bid, construction, start-up, and commissioningParticipating in and presenting at meetings including those requiring occasional travelAt AECOM, we believe infrastructure creates opportunity for everyone. Whether it's improving your commute, keeping the lights on, providing access to clean water or transforming skylines, our work helps people and communities thrive. We take on the most complex challenges and pioneer innovative, iconic solutions that push the limits of what's possible – the world's longest cable-stayed bridge, record-breaking sports events, the largest greenfield port development mega project, life-sustaining disaster recovery programs, and the tallest tower in the Western Hemisphere. On projects spanning transportation, buildings, water, energy and the environment, we deliver professional services throughout the project lifecycle.We are proud to be recognized for excellence:Named one of Fortune magazine's "World's Most Admired Companies" for the eleventh consecutive yearRanked #1 in Engineering News-Record's in Environmental Engineering, Facilities, Water, Transportation, Green Design, Airports, and moreNamed one of TIME Magazine's Best Companies for Future LeadersAECOM's Energy practice provides a wide range of services from consulting and engineering design to engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for power, energy efficiency, and renewable energy clients. Our understanding of the big picture – and the interconnection between generation, distribution, storage, and behind the meter services – allows us to deliver holistic strategies that improve and modernize next generation energy infrastructure. We connect knowledge and experience across our global framework to bring together a unique combination of engineers, planners, scientists, and project managers who advance cleaner, secure, and more sustainable energy solutions.QualificationsMinimum RequirementsBA/BS in Electrical Engineering or Engineering related discipline and 4 years of relevant experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education.Demonstrated experience in design and integration of utility-scale renewable and battery storage systems.Preferred QualificationsCurrent professional engineering license (PE) and ability to attain additional states by comity8+ years of relevant experience preferredProficient in industry software such as Homer, NREL SAM, ForgeSolar, and HelioscopeMV AC Collection System Design ExperienceProtection and Controls ExperienceKnowledgeable in power system modeling in ETAP and/or SKMStrong familiarity with the NEC, as well as related codes such as IBC and NFPA 855Familiarity with utility practices, industry codes and standards (NESC, IEEE, PIP etc.).Strong written and verbal skills with an ability to lead engineering tasksExperience on full EPC, Design/Build projects from start to finish.Capable of system financial estimation (Capex, Opex), PPA recommendation and calculating ROISpecial design experience: floating PV, fuel cells, agrivoltaics, super capacitors, etc.Field construction and commissioning experienceAdditional InformationRelocation assistance is not available for this positionSponsorship for US employment authorization is not available now or in the future for this positionAt AECOM, we are committed to maintaining a secure and trustworthy recruitment process and take any fraudulent hiring activity seriously.
