Renewable Energy Systems Engineer

Description 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. Responsibilities • 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. Qualifications • 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”.
