Job Title: ESS Delivery and Commissioning Engineer
Assignment Type: Permanent Hire Staff Role
Location: London UK with substantial national travel
Work Schedule: Monday - Friday
About the Role
ESS Delivery and Commissioning Engineers play a pivotal role in transforming energy storage systems from blueprints into operational realities that function safely and reliably. Responsibilities focus on the mid-to-late stages of project execution, ensuring systems are installed in line with design specifications and undergo systematic testing to achieve optimal performance and safety standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Participate in the commissioning, project delivery, and acceptance of large-scale battery energy storage system projects.
- Perform commissioning, troubleshooting, and defect resolution for battery containers/cabinets, including:
- Fire suppression systems
- Liquid cooling systems (HVAC/TMS)
- DC circuits (up to 1500V DC)
- Auxiliary AC circuits (220V/400V AC)
- Battery management system (BMS) communication systems
- Assist with the commissioning of power conversion systems and energy management systems, with a basic understanding of their operating principles.
- Support on-site issue analysis, fault diagnosis, corrective actions, and issue closure together with the project team.
- Participate in site acceptance testing, grid connection testing, and project acceptance activities.
- Support customer training on system operation, maintenance, and product usage.
- Track commissioning issues through to closure and ensure projects are delivered according to schedule.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (including R&D, quality, after-sales service, and project management) to resolve site issues efficiently.
- Comply with environment, health and safety requirements and ensure safe execution of all commissioning activities.
Requirements
- Bachelors degree or above.
- Preferred majors include electrical engineering, communication engineering, energy engineering, renewable energy technology, or related disciplines.
- 1-3 years of experience in electrical equipment commissioning, energy projects, or related industries.
- Familiarity with one or more of the following areas:
- Basic knowledge of primary and secondary electrical systems
- Energy storage systems, photovoltaic systems, and power systems
- Basic principles of BMS, power conversion systems, and energy management systems
- Industrial communication protocols such as CAN and Modbus RTU/TCP
- Communication networks and fieldbus technologies
- Ability to read and understand electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and communication topology drawings.
- Knowledge of grid-connection processes for energy storage, substation equipment, and power plant delivery procedures is preferred.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office and other standard office software.
- Strong analytical, communication, coordination, and teamwork skills.
- Fluent in English for daily work and on-site communication; Mandarin Chinese proficiency is required.
- Willingness to travel extensively and undertake long-term assignments at project sites overseas.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in battery energy storage systems, photovoltaic, or wind power projects.
- Low-voltage and/or high-voltage electrical certification, or equivalent electrical qualifications.
- Experience working on international projects or in a multicultural environment.
