BESS – Project Engineer
Location: Bangalore | Experience: 7–8 years
Job Role & Responsibilities
- Perform BESS product sizing and solutioning, including technical calculations for battery capacity, inverter sizing, and auxiliary components based on load profiles, grid requirements, and customer needs.
- Assess energy storage requirements across applications.
- Conduct feasibility studies and recommend system configurations and energy-management strategies.
- Transformer design — perform sizing, selection, and specification of step-up/step-down transformers for BESS and grid interconnection, ensuring compliance with electrical and protection requirements.
- Solar-BESS site analysis & requirements — evaluate site conditions, solar generation potential, land/space and grid connection constraints, and define civil, electrical, and infrastructure prerequisites for hybrid solar-plus-storage installations.
- Optimize system design for cost, performance, efficiency, and lifecycle; define and document technical specifications aligned with industry standards, safety regulations, and client requirements.
- Analyze customer energy-usage patterns and propose customized BESS solutions; develop technical proposals, solution architecture, and system-integration strategies.
- Collaborate with R&D and product teams to enhance existing solutions and develop new offerings based on market trends.
- Provide sales and pre-sales support — technical discussions, solution presentations, and customer meetings; build value propositions and business cases with cross-functional teams.
- Address technical queries from customers, partners, and internal teams; troubleshoot system-performance issues and recommend optimization strategies.
- Develop and deliver technical training for internal teams (sales, project, service) and external stakeholders (customers, EPCs, partners).
- Support tendering activities — technical documentation, compliance checklists, design submissions, and evaluation of tender specifications.
Specific Expertise Required
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Systems, or a related field, with a minimum of 7–8 years of relevant experience.
- Strong understanding of BESS architecture and components (Battery, PCS, EMS, BMS, Transformers, Switchgear).
- Transformer design experience — hands-on sizing and specification of power/distribution transformers (oil and dry type) for renewable and storage applications.
- Solar & hybrid expertise — experience in solar PV and solar-BESS site assessment, feasibility analysis, and grid-integration requirements.
- Proficiency in load-profile analysis and energy modeling; familiarity with safety standards and regulatory compliance for energy-storage systems.
- Understanding of lifecycle-cost analysis and performance optimization.
