Associate Principal Electrical Engineer – BESS Design

Revamp is looking for an Associate Principal Electrical Engineer for utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, including standalone storage and PV-plus-storage facilities. You will seal electrical design packages, own the technical direction of a program of BESS projects, and act as the PV/BESS group's main electrical point of contact for clients, EPC contractors, and authorities having jurisdiction. The storage projects you support will help turn renewable power generation into a source of dispatchable power, and your work will play a direct role in the energy transition. As an employee-owner, you will have a personal stake in the success of your projects and the organization as a whole.

• Serve as Engineer of Record for BESS and PV-plus-storage projects, sealing electrical drawings, calculations, and specifications in states where you hold licensure.
• Direct BESS electrical design from conceptual layout through issued-for-construction, including DC block and PCS arrangements, MV collection, auxiliary power, grounding, and SCADA and communications interfaces.
• Review and approve single-line and three-line diagrams, AC and DC cable sizing, grounding designs, and equipment specifications.
• Establish design criteria for AC- and DC-coupled storage, augmentation strategies, and hybrid PV-plus-storage plants.
• Evaluate battery enclosure, PCS, transformer, and switchgear submittals, resolving technical deviations with equipment manufacturers.
• Coordinate BESS electrical studies, including short-circuit, arc flash, load flow, voltage drop, wire loss, auxiliary load, and ground grid analysis.
• Integrate fire protection and hazard mitigation requirements, including NFPA 855 spacing and explosion control inputs, into the electrical design.
• Resolve unusual technical conditions and design conflicts using expert judgment, seeking guidance only for program-level issues.

• Oversee the technical and delivery performance of all BESS projects within an assigned program.
• Approve scopes, budgets, and schedules for electrical design assignments, identifying risks or deviations early.
• Prepare proposals and fee estimates for BESS electrical engineering services in collaboration with Business Development.
• Lead and assign engineers and designers needed to complete deliverables across concurrent projects.
• Lead and participate in BESS program reviews and client program meetings.
• Mentor Engineer I–III and Senior Engineer staff in BESS design practice, code application, and Engineer of Record responsibilities.
• Act as a supervisor of assigned staff, including performance feedback and development planning.

• Review complete BESS design packages for conformity, constructability, and quality assurance before sealing.
• Ensure designs comply with the NEC (including Articles 480, 690, 691, 705, and 706), NFPA 855 and 70E, UL 9540 and 9540A, IEEE 1547 and 2800, and applicable utility and AHJ requirements.
• Set and maintain the group's BESS electrical design standards, templates, and calculation tools.
• Resolve AHJ, utility, and third-party review comments and maintain records of sealed documents.

• Act as one of the PV/BESS group's main electrical points of contact for clients, EPC contractors, and AHJs across a program of BESS projects.
• Coordinate with civil, structural, High Voltage, and Power Systems Engineering teams on layouts, substation interfaces, and interconnection requirements.
• Lead design reviews and technical meetings, presenting recommendations and trade-offs to clients and internal stakeholders.
• Negotiate technical scope and design changes with clients and contractors, documenting impacts on schedule and budget.

• Track BESS technology, code, and market developments, setting the group's design response to them.
• Develop new techniques, tools, and improved processes for BESS electrical design and review.
• Advise Revamp leadership as a technical specialist on energy storage design.
• Represent Revamp in industry working groups and technical forums on energy storage.

• Perform essential duties, including meeting deliverables and deadlines.
• Occasionally perform additional related duties as assigned or directed.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or similar applicable work experience.
• 10+ years of electrical design experience on utility-scale power generation projects, with substantial experience specifically in solar PV or BESS design.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in electrical engineering, with the ability to obtain licensure in additional states.
• Experience serving as Engineer of Record or lead electrical engineer for utility-scale BESS projects.
• In-depth knowledge of the NEC, NFPA 855, UL 9540 and 9540A, and IEEE standards that apply to energy storage and interconnection.
• Experience designing MV collection systems, grounding systems, and BESS auxiliary power systems.
• Demonstrated ability to manage scopes, budgets, and schedules across concurrent projects and to lead and mentor engineering teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including presenting technical recommendations to clients and AHJs.

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering with a power systems focus.
• PE licensure in multiple states or an active NCEES Record.
• Proficiency with ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, CYMCAP, or comparable power analysis software, and with AutoCAD.
• Experience with battery enclosure and PCS products from multiple manufacturers and with augmentation planning.
• Experience with hybrid plant controls and SCADA integration for PV-plus-storage facilities.
• Prior work in an engineering consulting, owner/developer, or EPC environment supporting utility-scale renewable projects.
