Renewable Energy Systems Engineer

The Renewable Energy Systems Engineer will support WSP’s renewable energy systems engineering capability across utility-scale solar, wind, BESS, and hybrid renewable energy projects. This role is responsible for delivery excellence across the full project lifecycle - from early development through commissioning and operations.

The position plays a key role in strengthening WSP’s renewable energy engineering platform by establishing consistent renewable energy standards, scalable delivery models, and high-quality client outcomes. The engineer will be involved in projects with our Systems Engineering Team and be a part of a growing organization that meets our clients' objectives and solves their challenges.

• Design and model solar PV systems, Wind and BESS for utility-scale, commercial, and microgrid applications using PVsyst, PVcase, and AutoCAD.
• Perform layout optimization, shading analysis, energy yield simulations, and loss assessments.
• Use NREL’s SAM or other bankable software for financial modeling, performance forecasting, and system cost-benefit analysis.
• Conduct site assessments, review topographical data, and analyze meteorological datasets (e.g., TMY, DNI, GHI).
• Develop and maintain bill of materials (BOM), schematics, and as-built drawings.
• Coordinate with interconnection, civil, and structural teams to ensure complete system integration.
• Support permitting, interconnection applications, and technical documentation for proposals and contracts.
• Develop augmentation optimization models for BESS systems
• Develop vendor-specific system RTE calculations and ensure desired BESS output
• Collaborate with project managers, EPC partners, and other stakeholders to ensure design quality and technical compliance.
• Stay current on codes and standards (e.g., NEC, UL, IEEE, IEC) relevant to solar system design.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in solar PV + BESS system design, preferably across utility, commercial, and microgrid scales.
• Proficient in AutoCAD, PVcase, PVsyst, and NREL SAM.
• A good understanding of North America markets, such as familiarity with North American EPC’s, Vendors etc.
• Strong understanding of PV system components, design standards, and layout strategies.
• Strong understanding of BESS system components, design standards, and US fire safety codes
• Strong understanding of battery chemistries (LFP, NMC, NCA, Flow batteries etc)
• Ability to read and produce engineering drawings, one-line diagrams, and site plans.
• Solid knowledge of PV technologies, racking systems, and BOS (balance of system) components.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working on PV + storage systems or hybrid renewable microgrids.
• Familiarity with civil/site constraints, interconnection guidelines, and permitting processes.
• Exposure to Helioscope, PlantPredict, or similar modeling tools is a plus.
• EIT, PE license, or NABCEP certification is desirable but not required.
• Technical writing and publication experience

Preferred Competency

• Strong technical judgment and decision-making ability

• Client-focused and collaborative style

• Ability to balance technical rigor with project delivery needs

• Clear communicator across technical and non-technical audiences

• Commitment to safety, quality, and professional excellence.

BGV:

• Employment with WSP India is subject to the successful completion of a background verification (“BGV”) check conducted by a third-party agency appointed by WSP India.

• Candidates are advised to ensure that all information provided during the recruitment process - including documents uploaded - is accurate and complete, both to WSP India and its BGV partner”.
