Job Overview: -The Electrical Systems Engineer will be responsible
for the electrical system level design and analysis of solar & BESS
energy facilities, substation interconnect facilities, along with
review and revision of commercial and utility plan sets for
photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Storage (BESS) system installations
and site survey sketches. Plan sets include electrical layouts,
one-lines, BOM's, schematics, structural details, material
take-offs, and equipment specifications. -Systems include auxiliary
power, backup power, fire protection, security, lighting, and
communication. -They will work closely with customers and other
engineering and design team members and contractors to coordinate
the overall design packages and requirements and help transition
the designs to the field where they will ensure the successful
