About the position

Glumac, A Tetra Tech Company, is seeking an Electrical Engineer with Distributed Energy Resources project experience to join our world-class Electrical Team. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a global leader in building engineering committed to combatting climate change through decarbonization, electrification, and resilient design. The successful candidate will assist in the design and technical analysis for battery energy storage, distributed energy resources (DER's), and microgrid design, working closely with our Energy team to understand the effects of renewable energy on a power system. You will provide designs for required relaying/metering, switchgear design, and specification of the system, and design and plan electrical power systems for various projects including industrial and manufacturing facilities, campuses, hospitals, laboratories, high-rise offices, educational facilities, and other commercial and institutional projects. As a leader, you will excel at providing consulting services with clients on next-generation technologies and integrating them into projects. You will be responsible for leading pursuits, developing proposals, and providing active project management on multidiscipline projects. The role requires a strong background in electrical utility resilience planning and master planning, as well as project design experience with at least two of the following: Commercial Photovoltaic (PV) solar design, On-shore Wind turbine, Clean Fuel Cell (Hydrogen, Natural Gas, Biogas), Clean Linear Generators (Non-Diesel), Large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (Long-duration, BESS, sizing), and Large-scale Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure in public, private, and semi-private sectors. Experience with microgrids utilizing relays and advanced control logic is also essential, with familiarity in island microgrid systems being a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Assist in the design and technical analysis for battery energy storage and distributed energy resources (DER's).
  • Work closely with the Energy team to understand the effects of renewable energy on power systems.

  • Lead pursuits and develop proposals for projects.
  • Provide active project management on multidiscipline projects.
  • Conduct electrical utility resilience planning and master planning.
  • Design experience with Commercial Photovoltaic (PV) solar, On-shore Wind turbine, Clean Fuel Cell, and other renewable energy sources.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience with technical lead and design experience.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent industry experience.
  • Current Professional Engineering (PE) license is required.
  • Knowledge of codes, standards, and financial incentives for alternative energy systems, especially related to DER integration with the utility.
  • Experience with short circuit/coordination/arc flash software.
  • Experience designing Medium Voltage (2.4kV to 35 kV distribution) is a plus.

Nice-to-haves

  • Knowledge in REVIT and AutoCAD is a plus.
  • Familiarity with microgrid/DER analysis or control software.
  • Experience with island microgrid systems not connected to the grid utility.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary range of $150,000 - $175,000.
  • Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
  • Participation in projects aimed at reducing carbon output and promoting sustainability.
