You will work with a team of mechanical, electrical and software engineers based in Canada and the UK and deal with all aspects of grid-connected energy storage systems.

Responsibilities

• Provide direct technical interface with customers to ensure that system design requirements for the project are appropriate and feasible.
• Set standards for, support the development of, and review the core system specification documents and drawings for each project.
• Create and communicate to customer/partners a clear set of system definitions and design specifications for the successful deployment of VFB systems.
• Influence and support the selection of critical equipment such as inverters and transformers, working with international suppliers of power electronics systems.
• Review project specifications and collaborate with the technical management of international EPCs to define the system solutions for VFB deployment overseas.
• Provide technical support to the team of systems engineers assigned to the Project:
  • Assist the creation of detailed system design templates, including site layout, power distribution systems, control and monitoring network, and safety system.
  • Work with the customers and EPCs to produce high level SLDs, site layouts, network diagrams and interconnection electrical schematics for large VFB plants.
  • Support the team on a day-to-day basis ensuring they have clarity and successfully achieve the systems technical requirements.
  • Collaborate positively and effectively with Commercial, Technology, Product Development, and Operations teams across the business to deliver customer projects within cost and schedule targets for the project.

• Customer and delivery focused; ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines; action-oriented, entrepreneurial, and innovative approach to technical management
• Right to work in the UK

Desirable

• Proven power systems expertise, 1-2 years of hands-on engineering experience delivering large energy systems in a relevant industry (utility scale energy production/storage)
• Experience of microgrid and grid connected renewable generation system design, grid connections, inverters and transformers, cable/protection sizing and site cable layouts
• Knowledge of CE and/or UL certification for energy generation and storage equipment

People love working at Invinity because we know we are empowered to make a meaningful impact. We’re small enough that every team member plays a critical role in our daily business, but large enough that the batteries we build are being deployed at significant scale in landmark clean energy projects around the world.
