Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (or related field).
5+ years of engineering experience in power, energy, data center, or industrial infrastructure projects.
Strong understanding of power system fundamentals: one-line diagrams, protection and controls, grounding, arc flash, and interconnection.
Experience reviewing and coordinating engineering deliverables with external design firms or EORs.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to lead technical discussions and present to internal and external stakeholders.
Experience with utility-scale solar, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), or inverter-based resources.
Familiarity with grid-forming controls and standards such as IEEE 2800 and NOGRR 272.
