Senior Engineering Manager at CrossBoundary

What you'll do

• We are seeking a highly experienced and technically proficient Senior Engineering Manager to lead engineering functions and teams across the full lifecycle of large-scale utility and hybrid renewable energy projects. This role is pivotal in driving technical excellence, ensuring robust design and implementation, and supporting operational optimization across a diverse portfolio of renewable energy assets. CBE is not an EPC or a pure developer, as we seek to build a portfolio of long-term, high-performing assets. CBE will look to you for practical insights on how to make discrete business decisions that will directly affect our financial outcomes.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead the technical development of renewable energy projects, including site studies, resource assessments, and optimal configuration design.
• Provide technical inputs into contractual documentation, including Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and contractor technical schedules.
• Oversee and coordinate owner’s engineering workstreams, including interface management, design reviews, testing and commissioning plans, and handover to operations.
• Support root cause analysis and performance optimization of operating plants.
• Develop and continuously improve engineering processes, standards, and team structures.
• Manage and mentor a team of engineers working across multiple projects at various lifecycle stages.

Qualifications
Ideal candidate will have the following skills and qualifications:

• Minimum requirement: Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Renewable Energy, or related discipline).
• Discipline is less critical than the candidate’s ability to understand and lead across all technical workstreams.
• >8 years of relevant experience in engineering roles within the renewable energy sector, or demonstrable experience across several large-scale or complex hybrid projects (PV, BESS, Thermal, Wind) in roles such as Project Engineer, EPC, or Owner’s Engineer.
• Proven experience in the complete lifecycle of technical development, design, implementation, and operating large, complex utility-scale or hybrid renewable energy facilities.
• Strong understanding of design workstreams related to large-scale renewable energy projects.

• Renewable System Design & Modelling
• Resource assessments and optimal system configuration and sizing
• Fundamental understanding of energy modelling and simulation tools
• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) designs and integration
• Photovoltaic (PV) System designs, technology selection and implementation of large-scale projects
• Wind Energy Systems designs, technology selection and implementation of large-scale projects
• MV system design, including grid interfaces, outdoor / indoor substation design and specification
• Power System Studies (Grid integration, protection coordination, transient / dynamic stability assessments)
• SCADA / EMS designs
• Operational Technology (OT) communication systems design
• Control philosophy management and optimisation, with key understanding of control modes and applications provided by different suppliers.
• Control and functional design specifications
