About the job
New Leaf Energy is a leading clean energy developer committed to partnering with landowners, policymakers, and stakeholders to drive the transition toward a sustainable future powered by renewable energy sources. We excel in identifying high-value sites for energy projects, collaborating with landowners and local communities during the development process, and partnering with long-term asset owners to bring impactful clean energy solutions to fruition.
We are currently seeking a Utility Electrical Engineer II to enhance our dynamic team. This role involves close collaboration with internal teams, including interconnection, project development, and operations, to assess potential photovoltaic (PV) sites, review proposed relaying and integration schemes, and oversee projects through acceptance testing. Externally, you will work alongside utility engineers across various service territories to design interconnection facilities and system modifications that facilitate the connection of distributed generators while ensuring the distribution system's safe and reliable operation.
This position is available at our offices in Lowell, MA; Boston, MA; Troy, NY; or Chicago, IL. We promote in-person collaboration in a hybrid work environment, where employees are expected to work in the office at least two days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) and have the flexibility to work from home or the office on other days.
The ideal candidate will possess substantial experience in power systems, coupled with a deep understanding of how distributed generation interacts with existing distribution and sub-transmission systems. You will also need to articulate and embody New Leaf Energy’s design philosophy and engineering standards.
