[Hiring] Associate Microgrid Engineer @Honeywell

Role Description

We are currently seeking a Microgrid Design Engineer to support HESG project development throughout our North America region. In this capacity you will engage primarily in Commercial & Industrial (C&I) projects to provide sales support and engineering support to the team. In this role, you will work alongside experienced engineers to develop distributed energy resource (DER) solutions — including solar PV, battery energy storage (BESS), fuel cells, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems — that help our customers achieve energy resilience, cost savings, and sustainability goals.

Areas of job responsibility and associated skills:

• Microgrid Feasibility Support and DER Solution Development
  • Conduct site assessments and compile data required for feasibility studies, including load profiles, utility rate structures, and onsite generation potential.
  • Apply financial modeling techniques such as LCOE and IRR/NPV to support DER solution development.
  • Navigate incomplete site data, legacy drawings, and brownfield conditions to produce reliable project estimates and preliminary designs.
  • Support scope, schedule, and cost management during the preliminary design phase.
• Systems Engineering and Stakeholder Engagement
  • Design and analyze electrical distribution systems, BESS, solar PV, CHP, and microgrid controllers across assigned projects.
  • Contribute to Scope of Work (SOW) documentation for EPC partners under the direction of senior engineers.
  • Communicate technical findings clearly to project team members and external stakeholders.
  • Support client-facing presentations and briefings on DER system design, economics, and operational value.
  • Utilize modeling platforms (HOMER, Xendee, ETB, etc.) and discounted cash flow (DCF) tools to support project economic analysis.
• Project Development Process Adherence
  • Collaborate within cross-functional teams of power engineers, project managers, and software developers.
  • Prepare and contribute to contract documents in accordance with industry standards and internal best practices.
  • Support Measurement & Verification (M&V) activities, including review and analysis of post-commissioning performance data for peak shaving and energy arbitrage outcomes.
  • Contribute to ensuring consistency between modeled performance and implemented systems.
• Delivery Operations Support
  • Provide engineering support to project execution teams during post-contract phases.
  • Participate in technical reviews of EPC and OEM submittals, identifying gaps or non-conformances relative to project specifications and client requirements.
  • Support troubleshooting and resolution of technical issues as they arise.

An estimated 30% travel will be required.

Qualifications

• Experience in energy modeling and financial analysis.
• Familiarity with DER technologies including solar PV, BESS, and CHP systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and presentation abilities.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Energy Management, or related field.
• Proficiency in modeling tools such as HOMER, Xendee, or equivalent platforms.
• Knowledge of electrical distribution systems and microgrid design.
• Understanding of financial modeling techniques.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Comprehensive health benefits.
• Retirement savings plan with company match.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth.
