The posting

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN HEIRLOOM

- We are solving the challenge of our generation. Climate change is an existential threat, and we need as many of the world’s motivated minds as possible to help. There is no greater challenge or opportunity than fighting climate change.

- We are a world-class team. We are engineers, scientists, and concerned humans from a variety of backgrounds and experiences who are pooling our knowledge and skills to collectively build a more equitable, prosperous future for all.

- We remain united, resilient, and optimistic. We recognize the magnitude of the challenge ahead of us, yet believe that we can contribute to mitigating the worst effects of climate change. It won’t be easy, but we won’t quit.

Build the solar and storage backbone of a first-of-its-kind clean power plant. Energy Park P1 pairs a 1.1 GWh battery and on-site solar with zero-emission, clean energy to power a hyperscale data center, with no grid connection. You'll own the Solar + BESS package end to end, from picking suppliers to energizing the system, on a small team where your calls shape the project and the template for the projects after it. The challenge: a fast schedule, a behind-the-meter microgrid with multiple sources, and suppliers who need to be held to performance.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Engineering & Integration

- Translate standard electrical and controls requirements into solar, BESS and O&M scopes of work, specifications and datasheets

- Lead design reviews with integrators, EPCs and the owner's engineer (layouts, MV collection, protection, SCADA/EMS integration, fire safety)

- Own technical integration of solar and BESS with on-site generation and data center loads, including microgrid operating modes

- Support HAZOP/HAZID, FMEA, NFPA 855 hazard mitigation analysis, UL 9540A review and AHJ/fire marshal engagement

Procurement & Vendor Management

- Collaborate with Supply Chain on: supplier outreach, RFIs and RFPs; manage bidder Q&A and clarifications

- Prepare technical bid evaluations and leveled bid tabs; recommend awards

- Collaborate with Supply Chain on: Negotiate technical terms, warranties, performance guarantees, delivery and transportation schedules

- Collect domestic content and supply chain documentation needed for tax credit eligibility

Construction, Commissioning & Turnover

- Oversee contractor and vendor engineering progress, inspections, FAT/SAT, delivery, installation and energization

- Lead commissioning, capacity and performance testing, and punch-list closeout

- Deliver turnover packages and operations readiness with the O&M provider

Project Controls

- Maintain the solar and BESS schedule; track long-lead equipment and flag risks early

- Validate vendor pricing against benchmarks and the financial model; manage change orders

- Develop engineering procedures, design guides and lessons learned for future deployments

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
