Renewyx is representing a well-established commercial and industrial solar and energy storage EPC contractor in Chicago. They design, engineer, build and maintain solar, BESS, and microgrid projects, and they are adding to their design team.

They are seeking an electrical engineer to join their design team in the Chicago area. You will own the electrical design for C&I solar and battery storage projects. That means modelling systems in PVsyst or Helioscope, building single-line diagrams and calculations, and preparing the permit and interconnection packages submitted to utilities and building departments. You will work closely with project managers, engineers and installation crews, so you will be the person who turns the design into something the field can build.

An electrical engineering degree and hands-on C&I solar and storage design experience are firm requirements for this role. The team needs an engineer who has produced code-compliant electrical designs for these projects and can see them through to the build.

This is a solid opportunity for an electrical engineer who wants to see their work through to construction. You will carry projects from site surveys and permit drawings through to record drawings after install. xxzpjkt
