Job Description:
The BESS Engineering & Construction (E&C) team is seeking an experienced, hands-on engineer to serve as the BESS Acoustics Subject Matter Expert (SME). This Sr. Engineer will support utility-scale BESS projects through acoustic modeling, project-layout review, noise-regulation interpretation, field measurements, and evaluation of practical noise-mitigation solutions for equipment such as HVAC/chillers, PCS/inverters, transformers, and substations. The role includes performing internal acoustic analyses, critically reviewing consultant work, and providing technical recommendations and approvals that may influence equipment selection, project layout, setbacks, barriers, HVAC design, and procurement requirements.
The engineer will work closely with internal project teams, consultants, manufacturers, EPC contractors, and permitting agencies to communicate project noise goals, resolve technical issues, ensure acoustic information, test methods, and project requirements are technically sound and aligned with applicable ISO, ANSI, and industry standards. The role will also support continued improvement of internal modeling capabilities, lower-noise solutions, and AI-enabled engineering workflows.
Responsibilities:
Serve as the outdoor and environmental acoustics SME for utility-scale BESS projects, providing technical leadership on acoustic modeling, community-noise impacts, and project-specific acoustics decisions.
Perform and review outdoor acoustic modeling using CadnaA or other appropriate tools to evaluate project layouts, sound propagation, receptor impacts, and design alternatives.
Review acoustic studies prepared by consultants and verify key assumptions, methodologies, model inputs, vendor acoustic information, and conclusions before they are relied upon for project decisions or permitting.
Provide formal technical review and approval of acoustic work, as appropriate, while also providing technical recommendations and sign-off within the BESS team.
Translate acoustic findings into practical project-design recommendations, including equipment selection, equipment layout, setbacks, barriers or enclosures, HVAC and chiller design, and other noise-control measures.
Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to technical and nontechnical audiences across project teams.
Experience:
Five or more years of relevant experience in outdoor/environmental acoustics, acoustic modeling, noise control, or a closely related technical field.
Skillsets:
Demonstrated technical knowledge of outdoor/environmental acoustics, noise modeling, noise-reduction technologies, interpretation of noise ordinances and permitting criteria, HVAC/chiller acoustics, and applicable ISO/ANSI acoustic standards.
Demonstrated ability to perform hands-on acoustic analyses while also critically reviewing consultant work, challenging assumptions professionally, and providing clear technical recommendations.
Experience with CadnaA, Excel, GIS, and AI-enabled engineering tools or workflows.
Experience with BESS, PCS/inverters, transformers, renewable-energy permitting, or utility-scale project development is a plus but is not required.
Experience working directly with equipment manufacturers, engineering consultants, and cross-functional project teams to resolve technical issues and communicate project goals.
Strong communication, independent problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and attention to detail, with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and nontechnical audiences.
INCE certification is preferred.
Willingness to travel occasionally for project, vendor, and site visits.
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Acoustical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Physics, or a similar technical discipline.
Additional Qualifications:
Shift Hours: 8AM - 5PM
