About The Position

As a Technical Specialist, you will provide leadership in technical and design services for renewable DER (distributed energy resources) projects from large-scale commercial to utility-scale.

Projects will encompass both solar PV and BESS (battery energy storage systems). Commercial and Industrial (C&I) projects will be both behind the meter and in front of the meter varying in size from 100 kW-ac to 10 MW-ac. You will collaborate with the full team to ensure civil, survey, structural, mechanical, electrical/MV designs and studies are addressed.
