Department: Operations

About Us

TerraForm Power (“TERP”), a platform company of Brookfield Renewable, attracts high-performing individuals who are driven to make an impact in a fast-paced and collaborative environment. We offer unparalleled opportunity to lead and manage one of the largest renewable energy businesses with decades of history, while contributing to the global need for sustainable energy.

We offer tremendous growth opportunity for individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset. The company is committed to employee development, encouraging curiosity, ownership, and continuous learning. You’ll be empowered to take initiative, contribute ideas, and grow your career within a supportive and ambitious organization.

Job Summary

This position will give you the opportunity to lead the technical development on a portfolio of large PV and energy storage projects, with ownership over design strategy, interconnection approach, and technical risk assessment. Our development engineers work on a team as equals with developers, with both having shared accountability and responsibility. While this is a technically focused position that draws on engineering principals, you can expect to spend time approaching projects as both a “developer” and as an “engineer”.

This role serves as a subject matter expert (SME) within development engineering, driving technical decisions, improving processes, and influencing project outcomes across the portfolio.

The ideal candidate will bring experience in development engineering design and interconnection management, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic Southeast regions.

- Interpret complex interconnection results, develop schedule and cost projections, identify risks & opportunities
- Negotiate technical aspects with utilities, ISOs, and RTOs
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Development, Delivery, and Operations teams to support project advancement
- Support permitting including land use and zoning (typically Conditional Use Permit / Special Use Permit) via county planning and zoning authorities, as well as any state or federal permits as may be necessary (e.g. VA DEQ Permit By Rule)
- Develop project documentation, reporting, and engineering deliverables
- Support due diligence activities for project acquisitions
External Coordination
- Manage third-party consultants and engineering partners
- Other duties, as assigned

Skills & Competencies

A joyful approach to work and life combined with a sense of humor highly recommended
Integrity, tenacity, and credibility complimented by a bias for action and a strong sense of personal accountability
Effective communication and interpersonal skills necessary for community building internally, and trust building externally
Creativity in problem solving and strong analytical capability
High energy, responds well to pressure, works to deadlines
Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to quality work product
Well organized; able to manage a myriad of competing priorities
Ability to work on own initiative as well as with a team
Willingness to travel as needed; regular presence at the Charlottesville, VA office preferred

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (or equivalent experience)
2+ years of experience in renewable energy engineering (solar, wind, and/or storage)
Familiarity with tools such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, PVsyst (or similar)
Foundational understanding of interconnection processes and project development lifecycle
Broad technical understanding of solar and battery storage project development, including the interconnection process and the ability to perform cost-benefit analyses of design variants to optimize outcomes
