Senior Solar Design Engineer

Overview

Lead and contribute to the design and delivery of utility-scale solar projects for the Australia Energy & Resources team, providing technical leadership across projects and supporting the growth of the renewables team.

What you'll do

• Lead the design and optimisation of utility-scale solar PV projects, including DC and MV systems, using advanced design tools such as PVcase and Helios 3D.
• Conduct energy yield assessments and performance modelling using PVsyst, developing optimised PV layouts that balance energy performance, constructability, environmental requirements and site constraints.
• Prepare and oversee high-quality engineering design packages, including drawings, calculations, string sizing, yield and loss reports, datasheets, MTOs, BOMs, layouts and schematics.
• Apply relevant engineering codes, standards and design principles, undertaking technical reviews and quality checks to meet client requirements and Arcadis quality standards.
• Provide technical leadership and oversight to engineers and designers, leading technical issue resolution and supporting the continued development of solar capability within the renewables team.
• Manage assigned projects and design workstreams to achieve agreed scope, schedule, budget and quality objectives, including proactively managing changes in scope.
• Coordinate with electrical, civil, structural and communications disciplines, as well as Australian and global teams, to deliver integrated and optimised engineering solutions.
• Support technical proposals, presentations and client engagement, while identifying opportunities for innovation, design efficiencies and future renewable energy work.

What you'll need

• 7+ years of engineering design experience in renewable energy projects.
• At least 2 years in solar PV design and hands-on experience using PVcase or Helios 3D.
• Demonstrated experience with PVsyst energy yield modelling, CAD-based design and engineering design packages.
• Sound understanding of relevant solar industry codes and standards.
• Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
• Strong analytical, mathematical, communication and technical problem-solving skills.
• Strong technical leadership and multidisciplinary collaboration skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with CYMCAP, CDEGS, ETAP, BESS, wind, 3D/computational design, Python automation, Australian renewable energy projects, or Engineers Australia membership/registration.
