Acre has partnered with a growth stage startup offering a turnkey microgrid service and their own modular off-grid microgrid technology that is currently deployed in remote areas of the US. The company has industry-leading levels of reliability and is doubling their project capacity year over year, so they need an accomplished senior/staff level project engineer capable of leading the design and execution of various microgrid projects.

​

This remote position reports into the Head of Engineering and comes with high levels of autonomy and ownership over various larger-scale microgrid projects (2-10MWh). You'll also have the opportunity to earn your way into a team lead position and eventually manage a team of project engineers focused on these larger-scale projects.

​

You'd be responsible for:

  • Leading the full cradle-to-grave engineering process for microgrid applications from design through project completion

  • Working closely with product and application engineering teams to ensure design accuracy and ensure client expectations are exceeded

  • Using engineering tools like Homer, ETAP, Autocad, Helioscope, PVSyst, etc. to design systems

  • Creating project bids/proposals in accordance with relevant codes and standards

​

You will have:

  • 3-5+ years of direct experience in a project engineering or electrical design position focused on either microgrid or utility-scale energy storage projects

  • SME-level understanding of DER technologies like solar, generators, batteries, fuel cells, etc.

  • Excellent communication and project management skills garnered from experience completing similar projects (experience with development, design, construction, testing, and commissioning phases is ideal)

  • Understanding of relevant codes and standards

  • Experience with ESS control systems/architecture, and with protection devices

​

If you are looking to take on a challenging role where you own the full project lifecycle of microgrid projects and eventually lead a team, please apply! If you don't feel like you meet every requirement, we still encourage you to submit your application, as there may be other openings that might also be a fit for you.
