Energy Engineer

From 3.200

Job description

The role positions InoBat as a power solutions partner rather than a BESS supplier responding to a pre-defined battery specification. The Energy Engineer engages customers early in their power strategy - assessing grid interconnection feasibility, grid constraints and timelines before a site is locked in - and translates this into integrated power system designs (grid connection, on-site generation, demand flexibility and BESS) that make InoBat's proposals stronger and faster to approve.

• Lead grid interconnection studies and utility/DSO/TSO engagement for data centre and utility-scale BESS projects - load flow, short-circuit and power quality assessments

• Partner with Sales & BD to engage customers earlier - during site selection and power strategy, not only BESS sizing - assessing interconnection feasibility, available capacity and timeline risk before they commit to a site

• Design integrated power system architectures that combine grid connection, on-site generation (gensets, solar, fuel cells where relevant) and BESS as the flexibility and buffering layer

• Develop single-line diagrams, equipment specifications and technical documentation to support interconnection applications and customer-facing power system designs

• Model demand-flexibility, peak-shaving and demand-response scenarios that can shorten interconnection timelines or reduce grid upgrade costs

• Coordinate directly with utilities, DSOs and TSOs on interconnection applications, technical requirements and approval timelines

• Provide technical input into commercial proposals, feasibility studies and investment-grade designs alongside the sales team

• Work closely with InoBat's BESS engineering team to ensure the storage system is properly sized, controlled and integrated into the wider power architecture, including grid code compliance

Benefits

• Enjoy 5 extra days of paid holiday! We value work-life balance and understand the importance of spending quality time with family and friends.

• Transportation allowance - Commuting made easy! At our company, we support our employees by covering a portion of their transportation costs, whether they travel to work daily or only occasionally.

• Enjoy daily meal vouchers worth €4.29 to support your healthy eating habits at work!

• A company culture that is based on trust, openness, meritocracy and heart-centered leadership, that we shape together and every opinion matters.

• Diversity! We are a cultural melting pot!

• Co-creation of the company processes and organization. Your ideas are what we need.

• Professional growth

• Fast career growth. We believe in the internal promotion.

• Personal and professional growth through various learning opportunities, especially through work with top industry experts and the international management team.

• Exposure to a fast-developing, disruptive project that will shape the future of mobility;

• Possibility to support Company scale-up towards Giga factories securing strategic customers;

• Access to a broad network of experienced colleagues and clients from a variety of industries across the globe.

Personality requirements

Experience requirements:

• 3-7 years in grid interconnection, power systems engineering, or a related role (utility, EPC, developer, IPP, or energy storage/generation OEM)

Education requirement:

• Degree in Electrical Power Engineering or a related discipline

Other requirenents:

• Working knowledge of grid codes and interconnection processes, ideally including CEE/SEE TSO/DSO requirements

• Proficiency in load flow and short-circuit analysis; familiarity with BESS and broader power system equipment (transformers, switchgear, on-site generation)

• Experience with power system modelling tools (ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSS/E or similar)

• Able to engage directly with customers and utilities, translating technical constraints into commercial risk and opportunity

• Strong communicator - able to explain interconnection timelines and grid risk clearly to non-technical stakeholders, including sales teams, customers and executives

• English language - B2/C1 (written and spoken)

• MS Office proficiency
