Lead bess engineer

Role is in the UAE

Join a market-leading EPC powerhouse delivering cutting-edge renewable and energy storage projects across the Middle East.

We’re seeking a Lead BESS Engineer with a strong EPC background to drive the design, engineering, and execution of large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and hybrid renewable projects.

In this role, you’ll be at the technical core of project delivery—translating complex electrical and control designs into real-world installations that perform safely, efficiently, and reliably. You’ll collaborate closely with design, construction, and commissioning teams to ensure every detail meets client, quality, and performance standards.

What You’ll Do :

✅ Lead the end-to-end engineering of BESS systems, from concept through detailed design and commissioning support

✅ Ensure designs are EPC-ready, compliant with client specifications, and optimized for constructability, cost, and reliability

✅ Design and integrate battery systems, inverters, and control logics for MV / HV substation interconnection

✅ Conduct technical studies and simulations using MATLAB Simulink, ETAP, and related tools

✅ Prepare and review technical specifications, tenders, and vendor submittals

✅ Support site teams during installation, testing, and FAT stages to resolve design or performance issues

✅ Collaborate with civil, instrumentation, and CAD teams for coordinated project execution

✅ Drive root cause analysis and continuous improvement across system design and delivery

✅ Ensure compliance with HSE and QA / QC procedures throughout all engineering phases

⚙️ What You Bring :

✨ 8–12 years’ experience in engineering and execution of energy storage or renewable projects within an EPC environment

✨ Strong foundation in battery system and inverter design, control logic, and DC / DC converter operation

✨ Proven experience preparing EPC-level designs, technical specifications, and interface documentation

✨ Proficiency in MATLAB Simulink, ETAP, and related simulation tools

✨ Familiarity with hybrid renewable systems—Solar PV, Wind, and Battery Storage

✨ Strong understanding of constructability principles, design coordination, and multidisciplinary workflows

✨ Hands-on mindset with excellent troubleshooting, analytical, and technical communication skills

What’s in It for You :

⚡ Be the technical lead driving high-value renewable and storage EPC projects across the region

⚡ Join a collaborative engineering team with a strong focus on quality, delivery, and technical excellence

⚡ Gain exposure to cutting-edge BESS technologies and integrated power systems

⚡ Competitive compensation, long-term project stability, and career growth within a leading EPC organization

If you’re a detail-driven engineer who thrives on seeing your designs come to life in the field, this role offers the perfect balance of challenge, innovation, and reward.
