  • Travel to project sites as required.
Additional Responsibilities
    • Conduct feasibility and locational studies using dynamic and grid models to identify and assess opportunities.
  • Assist in qualifying and validating new inverter models, ensuring GPS compliance.
  • Support modelling activities across the Asia-Pacific region.

  • Experience leading and managing consultants and designers in sales, design, and construction/commissioning phases.
  • Experience with tier-one companies is highly regarded.
  • Strong expertise in reviewing grid connection compliance designs.
  • Extensive experience with NEM grid connections, particularly in BESS GPS and Registration.
  • Proficiency in generator and power systems modelling, with specific experience in modelling BESS assets.
