Job Summary
Project Engineer Thermal Management
Job Type: 12-Month Contract
Location: Remote
Overview
Our client is a leading force in the renewable energy sector driving the transition to a sustainable future. They are seeking a seasoned Project Engineer specializing in Thermal Management for Lithium-Ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This is a critical contract role where you will provide engineering leadership on utility-scale energy storage projects from initial design through commissioning and handover.
You will act as the technical authority on thermal systems ensuring optimal performance safety and reliability of large-scale BESS installations. This role offers the opportunity to shape standards develop best practices and directly impact the success of cutting-edge renewable energy infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Evaluate thermal design aspects of major components (chillers HVAC liquid cooling systems etc.) for utility-scale energy storage projects.
- Develop and prepare technical scopes of work for thermal management studies analyses and detailed designs for incorporation into engineering and construction contracts.
- Provide full lifecycle project support from conception through commissioning including potential on-site commissioning activities for critical projects.
- Serve as the primary engineering guide for project teams and provide oversight of external Engineers of Record (EOR).
- Collaborate directly with equipment suppliers and vendors on thermal system sizing controls strategy technology compatibility and system integration.
- Partner with multi-disciplined internal teams (electrical civil controls project management) on complex problem-solving system integration and continuous process improvement.
- Identify lessons learned develop and implement process improvements and create tools/standards to maximize BESS performance and reliability.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Chemical Engineering or a closely related field. Advanced degree is a plus.
- 5 years of progressive engineering experience with a significant portion focused on thermal/fluid systems design analysis or project engineering.
- Proven experience with thermal management of Lithium-Ion battery systems preferably in utility-scale or large commercial/industrial energy storage applications.
- Strong background in evaluating and specifying major thermal components (e.g. chillers pumps heat exchangers cooling towers ductwork).
- Experience developing technical specifications scopes of work and providing engineering oversight for EORs and contractors.
- Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g. ASHRAE NFPA IEC).
- Excellent analytical problem-solving and communication skills with a customer-service mindset for internal and external stakeholders.
- Ability to work effectively in a remote cross-functional team environment.
