BESS Engineer / BESS Manager

Job Summary

The BESS Engineer / Manager will be responsible for energy simulation and optimal sizing, technology selection and vendor evaluation, system design & engineering from conceptual to detailed design engineering stage, and technical support to Business Development (BD) during proposal development. The role ensures delivery of technically robust, compliant, and cost-optimized BESS solutions across utility-scale and C&I projects.

Key Responsibilities

1. Energy Simulation & Optimal BESS Sizing

• Perform energy simulations and operational modeling to determine optimal BESS

MW/MWh configuration.

• Analyze load profiles, renewable generation data, tariffs, grid constraints, and use

cases.

• Define and assess dispatch strategies such as peak shaving, arbitrage, renewable

smoothing, and backup.

• Consider efficiency, degradation, SOC limits, cycling constraints, and lifecycle

performance.

• Prepare techno-economic sizing studies, simulation reports, and

recommendations.

2. Technology Selection & Vendor Evaluation

• Lead technology selection for battery systems, PCS, BMS, EMS, and auxiliary

equipment.

• Perform technical evaluation of BESS and PCS vendors, reviewing:

o Battery chemistry, architecture, thermal and safety design

interconnection design.

• Prepare / review key engineering deliverables including:

AC & DC Single Line Diagrams (SLDs)

General Arrangement (GA) drawings

Cabling, earthing, lightning protection, and protection & control schemes

• Ensure coordination between BMS, PCS, EMS, SCADA, and grid requirements.
• Participate in design reviews, safety and risk assessments, and technical approvals.

4. Support to Business Development (BD) – Proposals

• Provide technical inputs for RFQs, RFPs, and project proposals.
• Develop conceptual designs, system sizing, technical write-ups, and compliance matrices.
• Support costing assumptions, losses, efficiencies, and performance guarantees.
• Participate in customer technical discussions, presentations, and clarifications.
