Role Summary

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.

Duties & ResponsibilitiesCore Technical & Functional Responsibilities
  • Serve as Engineer of Record for BESS and PV-plus-storage projects, sealing electrical drawings, calculations, and specifications in states where you hold licensure.
