About the Role

As a C&I Energy Storage Solutions Engineer / Advisor (a Torus Architect), you will be instrumental in the initial phases of project development. Your responsibilities will include conducting site visits to commercial and industrial facilities, developing preliminary (10%) system designs that are both permit-ready and installation-feasible, and maintaining direct, professional communication with customers. While you will be engaged in a wide variety of projects, you can expect to focus on larger scale / medium / high voltage applications. During the design phase, a strong understanding of existing electrical infrastructure is critical to determining the optimal interconnection strategy and quantifying the potential value delivered to the customer. You will assess each site for space availability, structural and grade constraints, and other physical considerations to ensure a cost-effective and constructible design. Success in this role requires technical expertise in medium / high voltage electrical systems, power distribution, transformer function, hardware selection, and energy consumption analysis, enabling you to maximize system performance and project viability in a wide range of commercial and industrial environments.
