Our client develops, owns, and operates utility-scale clean energy assets across the U.S., supplying reliable, competitively priced power to utilities and large customers. With a multi-gigawatt portfolio of solar and battery storage already operating or under construction — and a deep pipeline behind it — the business is scaling quickly and investing heavily in the engineering talent that keeps that fleet performing.\nThis is a confidential search. We'll share the client's name and full details with candidates we take forward.\nAbout This Role You’ll own the technical execution of high-voltage (HV) and medium-voltage (MV) systems across the client’s solar and storage projects — from early development through financing, construction, commissioning, and into operations. The remit covers utility interconnection, substation and transmission design, and collection-system performance, and you’ll be the person accountable for the engineering decisions that sit underneath all of it.\nThe work blends design and the field. You’ll shape substation and collection-system designs and run the supporting power-system studies, but you’ll also be hands-on diagnosing and resolving real problems across protection systems, transformers, breakers, cables, and substation controls. Beyond delivery, you’ll lead root‑cause investigations on system events and drive the upgrade and retrofit work that improves fleet reliability, availability, and compliance.\nWhat You’ll Do Lead the design and technical review of HV substations, transmission interconnections, and MV collection systems across the project portfolio.\nDirect EPCs, Engineers of Record, and consultants to sharpen designs, take risk out of execution, and hold schedule and cost.\nOwn the interconnection scope end to end — application review, steady‑state and dynamic modeling, and technical negotiations with ISOs and utilities (e.g., CAISO, ERCOT).\nTroubleshoot system events in the field, including relay operations, misoperations, nuisance trips, and equipment failures.\nRun root‑cause analysis using relay event reports, oscillography, SCADA data, and equipment diagnostics (e.g., DGA, infrared, insulation testing).\nScope and deliver upgrade and retrofit projects — protection setting changes, controls tuning, equipment replacement, and design corrections.\nProvide NERC and regional regulatory compliance support, keeping the fleet aligned with PRC and related standards.\nPartner with Operations to resolve ongoing technical issues and optimize plant performance.\nBuild and maintain engineering standards, technical specifications, EPC exhibits, and testing protocols.\nWitness and evaluate FAT/SAT, commissioning, and energization.\nSupport EPC RFPs and supply agreements by defining enforceable technical requirements.\nContribute to Independent Engineer (IE) diligence and project financing, and help clear permitting, regulatory, and technical roadblocks across teams.\nWhat You’ll Bring 8+ years owning technical scope for HV substations and MV collection systems within an IPP, EPC, or engineering firm.\nA track record of managing EPCs, consultants, vendors, and cross‑functional teams through full project lifecycles.\nThe ability to diagnose and fix plant and substation issues independently — using relay data, SCADA, inverter logs, plant historian, and equipment diagnostics — and drive the fix to completion.\nDirect, working knowledge of major power‑system equipment: how it operates, how it fails, and how to troubleshoot it.\nSolid command of NERC PRC and MOD standards and regional requirements (CAISO, ERCOT).\nDeep understanding of HV/MV equipment, protection and control schemes, metering, substation SCADA, and the real trade‑offs between technical performance, cost, and schedule.\nA strong foundation in power‑system studies and modeling, with proficiency in steady‑state tools (ETAP, SKM, DIgSILENT, or similar).\nStrong analytical/Excel skills for technical and financial work.\nFamiliarity with NEC, NESC, and IEEE standards.\nPE license preferred; exposure to PSSE, PowerWorld, or PSCAD is a plus but not required.\nBachelor’s in Electrical Engineering (Master’s or PhD a plus).\nCompensation & Benefits Compensation: USD $170,000 – $185,000 (base salary + bonus).\nComprehensive health coverage for you and your dependents (medical, dental, vision).\nGenerous paid time off and company‑wide breaks.\nPaid parental leave and family‑planning support.\nMentally health and wellbeing resources.\nEmployer retirement contribution.\nAdditional perks, including home‑office setup and monthly stipends.\nOur client is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants without regard to any characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law.\n\n#J-18808-Ljbffr","company":"Root Edge","rawCompany":"root edge","city":"Washington","state":"DC","isRemote":true,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-07-01T03:24:46.139Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2071.00","title":"Electrical Engineers","slug":"electrical-engineers"},{"code":"17-2199.03","title":"Energy Engineers, Except Wind and Solar","slug":"energy-engineers-except-wind-and-solar"},{"code":"17-2199.00","title":"Engineers, All Other","slug":"engineers-all-other"}],"industries":[{"code":"221122","title":"Electric Power Distribution","slug":"electric-power-distribution"},{"code":"221121","title":"Electric Bulk Power Transmission and Control","slug":"electric-bulk-power-transmission-and-control"},{"code":"221118","title":"Other Electric Power Generation","slug":"other-electric-power-generation"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Electrical Engineer, High Voltage - Fully Remote","description":"About the Client root/edge is partnering with a profitable, well-capitalized independent power producer (IPP) on this search.
