Senior BESS Design Manager | Temp-to-Hire | EPC / Energy Storage Projects

I am currently recruiting for a Senior BESS Design Manager to support large-scale EPC and infrastructure project work.

This is a temp-to-hire opportunity and candidates must be comfortable working on-site during the temporary period, with the ability to relocate full-time if the role converts into a permanent offer.

The role:

You will lead the design and engineering delivery of energy storage and infrastructure projects, taking responsibility from early concept through design, construction support and project execution.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead BESS and infrastructure design from concept through IFC

• Manage greenfield and brownfield projects through feasibility, funding, design, permitting and construction support

• Coordinate multi-disciplinary engineering, procurement and construction teams

• Own project design schedules, design funding and key technical deliverables

• Manage permitting and construction documentation

• Support value engineering, feasibility studies and options analysis

• Work with internal stakeholders, external consultants and construction teams

• Identify risks, resource gaps and project constraints early

What we are looking for:

• Strong background in BESS, energy storage, electrical infrastructure or utility-scale projects

• Experience across EPC, engineering, construction or project management environments

• Strong understanding of grid-scale energy storage systems and balance-of-plant equipment

• Knowledge of inverters, transformers, switchgear, HVAC, fire suppression and electrical protection

• Familiarity with medium/high-voltage systems, controls and communication systems

• Understanding of relevant codes and standards such as NEC, NFPA, IEEE, UL or IEC

• Degree in Engineering preferred, ideally Electrical Engineering

• PE licence preferred but not essential

• Strong communication skills and the ability to drive projects in a fast-paced environment

This is a strong opportunity for a BESS / energy storage professional who wants a long-term role after a successful temporary engagement.
