Senior MV Engineer

Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Medium Voltage (MV) Engineer to join our dynamic team. This individual will play a pivotal role in designing and delivering high-quality electrical systems for utility-scale and distributed generation (DG) solar projects. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of MV electrical systems, including reclosers and SEL relays, and a proven ability to manage the entire design lifecycle from concept to completion.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development of complete MV electrical design packages (0%-100%) for utility-scale and DG solar projects.

  • Develop electrical layouts, including single-line diagrams, protection and control schematics, and detailed drawings.

  • Specify and integrate reclosers, SEL relays, and other critical protection and control equipment.

  • Conduct load flow, short circuit, and coordination studies to ensure system reliability and compliance.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including civil and mechanical engineers, project managers, and contractors, to ensure seamless project execution.

  • Oversee and mentor junior engineers, providing technical guidance and support.

  • Ensure designs comply with relevant codes, standards, and client specifications.

  • Provide technical support during construction, commissioning, and troubleshooting phases.

Qualifications:

    Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (required).

  • Certification:

    Professional Engineer (PE) certification required

Experience:

  • Minimum 5-7 years of experience with utility-scale or DG solar projects.

  • Expertise in designing MV electrical systems, including protection and control equipment like reclosers and SEL relays.

  • Demonstrated ability to deliver complete design packages from 0% to 100%.

Skills:

  • Proficient in relevant design software (e.g., AutoCAD, ETAP, SKM, or similar).

  • Strong understanding of industry standards (e.g., NEC, IEEE, NESC).

  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a focus on innovative solutions.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and client interaction.

Preferred Attributes:

  • Experience working on interconnection applications and processes with utility companies.

  • Familiarity with renewable energy project development and lifecycle.
