Distributed Energy Resource Manager

We are seeking a highly skilled professional to play a key role in the design, configuration and delivery of Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems.

This individual will provide technical guidance across distributed energy integration workflows, onboarding strategies, and dispatch orchestration.

The successful candidate will have extensive experience working with DERMS platforms and be able to validate telemetry ingestion, dispatch schedules and fallback logic.

Responsibilities will include providing advisory and design support, integrating DER Gateway with Advance Distribution Management System (ADMS), SCADA or LDAP, and validating operational readiness.

A bachelor's degree in Engineering, Energy Systems, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline is required, along with certifications in IEEE 2030.5 Training / Certification and/or Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900 or AZ-104).

At least 10 years experience working with or delivering projects for utilities, aggregators, or regulators, preferably in Australia or similar regulated markets, is essential.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with DERMS platforms, including GridOS, ADms AutoGrid, OSI, Schneider DERMS, mPrest, etc., and be familiar with Azure, particularly Azure Landing Zones, AKS, and ExpressRoute.

• Solution Advisory & Design Support
  • Provide subject matter expertise supporting DERMS architecture, control strategy, and operational workflows.
  • Guide stakeholders on defining network model structures and system configuration approaches.
  • Support solution reviews, design workshops, and alignment of business and technical requirements.
• DER Gateway Integration & Operational Readiness
  • Support implementation teams with DER Gateway-related onboarding, control group configuration, and interface validation.
  • Advise on registration workflows and telemetry integration across in-band, out-of-band, and third-party systems.
  • Validate operational readiness across network model deployments, DER provisioning, and control execution.
• Testing & Delivery Enablement
  • Contribute to test scenario development, test data preparation, and validation execution for end-to-end DERMS workflows.
  • Support SIT and UAT teams in resolving integration issues and verifying registration-to-dispatch outcomes.
  • Participate in readiness assessments, defect triage sessions, and test governance forums.
• Standards & Documentation Alignment
  • Promote alignment with energy industry standards including CSIP-AUS, IEEE 2030.5, and related compliance frameworks.
  • Review and contribute to technical documentation, configuration guides, and solution traceability artefacts.
  • Ensure clarity and completeness of design specifications and interface documentation.
• Stakeholder Engagement & Cross-Team Collaboration
  • Act as a liaison between engineering teams, customer teams, and delivery partners across all project phases.
  • Support customer workshops, technical working groups, and design reviews as the SME for DERMS delivery.
  • Provide knowledge transfer, post-deployment clarification, and continuous improvement input.

Required Skills and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Energy Systems, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline.
• Certifications in IEEE 2030.5 Training / Certification and/or Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900 or AZ-104) would be highly considered.
• At least 10+ years experience working with or delivering projects for utilities, aggregators, or regulators (preferably in Australia or similar regulated market).
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with DERMS platforms (e.g., GridOS,ADMs AutoGrid, OSI, Schneider DERMS, mPrest, etc.) and ability to validate DER telemetry ingestion, dispatch schedules, and fallback/default logic.
• Experience integrating DERMS with Advance Distribution Management System (ADMS), SCADA or LDAP as well as familiarity with Azure, particularly Azure Landing Zones, AKS, and ExpressRoute.
• Working knowledge of CSIP-AUS, IEEE 2030.5 as well as compliance in NEM, AEMO, or cybersecurity frameworks (NIST, CIS) is essential for the success of the role.
