BESS Analyst (Design & Estimations)/ BESS Manager – Design, Engineering & Cost Estimation

• Job Description:

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically proficient

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Manager

with 5–10 years of hands-on experience in the

design, engineering, techno-commercial evaluation, and cost estimation

of BESS solutions in India. The ideal candidate will bring a deep understanding of various BESS technologies, their application in hybrid renewable projects (Solar, Wind, or both), and strong cost modelling capabilities for systems ranging from

1 MWh to 100 MWh

.

This role is critical to evaluating BESS deployment for utility-scale projects, optimizing technical configurations, and supporting investment-grade proposals.

• Key Roles & Responsibilities:

• Lead

technical and financial feasibility

assessments for BESS deployments integrated with solar, wind, or hybrid renewable energy projects.

• Drive

battery sizing optimization

based on project needs—such as peak shifting, load smoothing, frequency regulation, or energy arbitrage.

• Prepare and validate

cost estimates

including CAPEX, OPEX, EPC costs, commissioning, and lifecycle expenses.

• Develop

Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS)

models for multiple BESS architectures (e.g., centralized vs distributed).

• Conduct

system design

using modelling tools, ensuring compliance with performance requirements and cost effectiveness.

• Collaborate with internal teams (engineering, BD, EPC, O&M) and external stakeholders (vendors, consultants) to align technical design and commercial goals.
• Evaluate and benchmark

vendor offers

for battery packs, PCS, EMS, and BoP equipment; provide Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis.

• Stay updated with

policy, regulatory, and market developments

impacting energy storage deployment in India (e.g., IEGC, CEA guidelines, SECI tenders).

• Support

business development and proposal teams

with techno-commercial inputs, tender documentation, and client presentations.

• Contribute to internal

knowledge development

, standardization of BESS cost libraries, and design templates.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in

Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, or Energy Systems Engineering

.

• Proficient in

BESS technologies

(Li-ion, Flow, LFP, NMC, etc.) and battery sizing logic for multiple use cases.

• Demonstrated experience in

cost modelling

using MS Excel, Python, or similar analytical tools.

• Working knowledge of

simulation and system design software

like HOMER, PVSyst, SAM, MATLAB, or similar.

• Familiarity with

safety codes, international standards

(e.g., UL 9540, NFPA 855, IEEE standards).

• Strong documentation, presentation, and communication skills.
• Understanding of

Indian electricity market dynamics

, ancillary services, peak tariffs, and storage tenders.

• Experience:

5–10 years

of relevant experience in BESS design, costing, and system integration—preferably in Indian or South Asian market context.

• Preferred Attributes:

• Exposure to

utility-scale BESS projects

with >10 MWh capacity.

• Experience in

pre-bid engineering

for SECI, NTPC, or DISCOM storage tenders.

• Certification or training in

energy storage or grid integration

is a plus.

• We offer you:

• A truly international working environment with colleagues from all over the world
• An open-minded, friendly and highly motivated team.
• Great opportunities for professional and personal development
• Interesting and challenging tasks
• Competitive remuneration (based on experience)
