Electrical Manager (Solar PV + BESS)

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Manager to lead the electrical engineering function for utility-scale solar PV and Solar + Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects in the USA. The role owns technical delivery from pre-bid and feasibility through 10%, 30% and IFC (Issued for Construction) engineering, ensuring designs are cost-optimized, bankable, constructible and compliant with US codes. The candidate will build, lead and develop a team of electrical engineers and designers, combining hands-on technical authority with people leadership and client-facing accountability.

Key Responsibilities:

Electrical Design and Engineering:

- Lead electrical design for utility-scale PV and Solar + BESS projects at 10%, 30% and IFC stages, covering DC/AC collection, MV/HV interconnection, substation interface, grounding and SCADA/communications.
- Prepare, review and approve SLDs, layouts, cable schedules, BOMs, calculations, specifications and cost estimates, ensuring IFC packages are accurate and constructible.
- Ensure designs comply with NEC, NESC, IEEE, UL and utility/AHJ requirements; run design reviews, QA/QC and RFI management.

Energy Yield, Optimization and BESS:

- Own PVsyst energy yield assessments (P50/P90) and design trade-off studies (tracker vs fixed tilt, DC/AC ratio, BESS sizing) to deliver competitive, bankable designs.
- Size and integrate BESS (MW/MWh, AC- or DC-coupled) and evaluate key equipment such as PCS, enclosures and EMS.

Technical Evaluation and Stakeholder Management:

- Support technology selection, vendor and bid evaluations, and technical due diligence.
- Act as the technical point of contact for US clients, EPCs, OEMs,



utilities and owner’s engineers; present designs and resolve technical queries.

Team Leadership and Management:

- Hire, onboard and develop a team of engineers and designers; build a clear structure, roles and succession within the team.
- Plan resources across multiple concurrent projects, set priorities, and deliver to agreed schedule, quality and budget.
- Set clear goals, give regular feedback, conduct appraisals, and mentor engineers towards greater technical ownership.
- Establish design standards, templates and review checklists, and drive automation of repetitive tasks to improve team productivity.
- Work effectively with US-based teams across time zones and coordinate with civil, structural and procurement teams.
- Foster a culture of accountability, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

Skill Requirements

- At least 8 years of experience in solar PV electrical engineering, with meaningful experience on US utility-scale projects.
- At least 2–3 years of experience leading or supervising a team of engineers.
- Sound knowledge of utility-scale PV design, DC/AC sizing, MV collection, grounding, protection and interconnection; working knowledge of BESS.
- Working knowledge of NEC and relevant IEEE/UL standards for US projects.
- Proficiency in PVsyst and AutoCAD; PVcase, ETAP/SKM or similar tools preferred; strong Excel skills.
- Clear written and spoken English, structured problem-solving and a robust ownership mindset.
- Solar + BESS project experience, NABCEP/PE or equivalent certification, and Python/VBA automation skills.

Education

- Bachelor of Engineering / B.Tech in Electrical or Electrical & Electronics Engineering required, Master of Engineering / M.Tech preferred

Industry

- Renewables – utility-scale Solar PV / BESS (EPC, IPP/developer, or engineering consultancy)
