Strong understanding of BESS control/dispatch strategies, EMS, state of charge management, degradation/lifetime modelling and revenue stacking (capacity markets, frequency response, arbitrage, ancillary services).
Deep knowledge of BESS technologies and architectures, including battery chemistries (Li ion variants and alternatives), cell/module/pack/system design, BMS, PCS/inverter technologies, thermal management and fire mitigation strategies.
Advanced knowledge of performance and storage modelling tools such as PVsyst, PVsol, StorageVAT, SAM, Matlab/Simulink or equivalent.
EPC cost estimation skills that explicitly include BESS scopes and balance of systems impacts.
Familiarity with project financing structures and independent engineering diligence focused on BESS risk areas (performance degradation, warranties, insurance, testing).
Self starter able to work independently and coordinate specialist resources.
Comfortable in a fast changing environment and able to maintain clarity under pressure.
Proven track record in energy resource assessments and identifying optimization opportunities for PV + BESS dispatch.
Hands on experience in construction support, commissioning and technical document review for both PV and BESS scopes.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred) or equivalent technical degree.
Demonstrated experience with BESS-specific modelling or vendor tools for lifetime, thermal and degradation analysis.
Strong task management and prioritization skills.
Minimum 3–5 years in a similar role; strong BESS experience required. (Prefer candidates with 5+ years where BESS responsibilities are a significant portion of prior roles.)
Practical experience integrating BESS with PV plants, substations, protection & control schemes and utility interconnection requirements.
Strong communication skills to represent technical positions to commercial stakeholders, lenders, and independent engineers.
Extensive experience designing and delivering utility scale PV + BESS projects, including substations, PCS/inverter selection, and energy storage integration.
Excellent attention to detail, problem solving and the ability to propose pragmatic technical/commercial solutions.
Codes, standards and safety: experience with NFPA 855, UL 9540/9540A, IEEE 1547, IEC standards and local regulatory requirements for energy storage.
Willingness and ability to travel up to 25% for site visits and stakeholder meetings.
Experience with civil and site considerations impacted by BESS installations (e.g., transformer/PCS pads, HVAC/thermal, fire suppression layouts, segregation).
Knowledge of industry stakeholders (investors, TAs, EPCs, BESS OEMs, independent test labs) and supplier market trends for both PV and storage.
Ability to identify key technical risks from site documents and translate them into commercial mitigations in contracts and budgets.
