About Greenlink Energy Solutions

Greenlink Energy Solutions is building the next generation of commercial clean energy infrastructuredesigned for performance, resilience, and long-term value.

We partner with organizations to develop and integrate intelligent energy systems that reduce risk, control costs, and strengthen operational independence. Our work spans solar PV, battery energy storage systems (BESS), microgrids, HVAC modernization, and energy optimizationaligned around one core principle: real-world outcomes backed by engineering discipline and lifecycle accountability.

We are not simply a contractor. We serve as developer, integrator, and long-term strategic partnerbringing together technical rigor, financial alignment, and operational control to ensure projects perform as intended over time.

As we scale, we are building a disciplined and repeatable commercial platformone that prioritizes ownership, integration, and long-term system performance. We seek professionals who are energized by growth, value sound judgment, and want to help shape the future of commercial clean energy delivery.

About This Role

The BESS / Microgrid Engineer plays a critical technical role in the design and integration of advanced energy systems across Greenlinks commercial project portfolio.

This role focuses on the engineering, modeling, and performance optimization of battery energy storage systems, solar + storage integrations, and commercial microgrids . The engineer will work across the full project lifecyclefrom early feasibility and system architecture through commissioning and operational validation.

This is not purely a modeling or drafting role. The BESS / Microgrid Engineer is expected to apply independent engineering judgment, understand system-level interactions, and guide design decisions that ensure reliable, cost-effective, and resilient energy systems.

What Youll Do

System Design & Architecture

• Lead technical design of battery energy storage systems and commercial microgrid architectures
• Define system sizing, electrical configurations, and integration strategies for solar PV + storage and grid-interactive energy systems
• Evaluate site electrical infrastructure, load characteristics, and operational objectives to determine optimal system design
• Support selection of batteries, inverters, PCS systems, transformers, switchgear, and other balance-of-system components
• Ensure designs meet applicable codes, AHJ requirements, and utility interconnection standards

System Modeling & Performance Analysis

• Develop and validate performance models for energy storage and microgrid systems
• Evaluate operational strategies, including peak shaving, load shifting, resiliency, and islanding capabilities
• Analyze system stability and performance under normal operation and contingency scenarios
• Support production modeling and long-term performance projections for project development and financing

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Sales, Development, and Operations teams to support technical feasibility and system optimization
• Work closely with solar engineers, electrical designers, and installation teams to ensure constructable designs
• Evaluate vendor equipment specifications and performance characteristics
• Provide technical guidance during procurement, installation, and commissioning phases

Risk Management & System Optimization

• Identify technical risks early in project development and recommend mitigation strategies
• Evaluate design tradeoffs related to performance, cost, resiliency, and operational flexibility
• Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis during commissioning and system operations
• Maintain accurate documentation, system models, and as-built engineering records

Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to the development of engineering standards for storage and microgrid systems
• Evaluate emerging technologies and integration strategies
• Support internal knowledge development across solar, storage, and energy optimization platforms

What Youll Bring

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field (or equivalent experience)
• 4+ years of experience in energy storage, power systems engineering, microgrids, or distributed energy systems
• Strong understanding of battery energy storage systems, power conversion systems, and grid-interactive energy infrastructure
• Experience designing or supporting solar + storage or microgrid projects
• Familiarity with electrical system modeling tools or performance modeling methodologies
• Working knowledge of NEC, interconnection requirements, and utility coordination
• Ability to evaluate system behavior and make sound engineering decisions across multiple design constraints
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and commercial teams

Preferred / Nice to Have

• Experience with microgrid controls, grid-forming or grid-following inverter architectures
• Familiarity with SCADA systems, EMS platforms, or microgrid control strategies
• Experience integrating solar PV, storage, and building loads into coordinated systems
• Exposure to commercial or industrial energy projects
• Experience supporting TPO or financed energy infrastructure projects

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: $100,000 $130,000 , depending on experience

Benefits include:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Life insurance
