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

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically proficientBattery Energy Storage System (BESS) Managerwith 5–10 years of hands-on experience in thedesign, engineering, techno-commercial evaluation, and cost estimationof 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 from1 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:

• Leadtechnical and financial feasibilityassessments for BESS deployments integrated with solar, wind, or hybrid renewable energy projects.
• Drivebattery sizing optimizationbased on project needs—such as peak shifting, load smoothing, frequency regulation, or energy arbitrage.
• Prepare and validatecost estimatesincluding CAPEX, OPEX, EPC costs, commissioning, and lifecycle expenses.
• DevelopLevelized Cost of Storage (LCOS)models for multiple BESS architectures (e.g., centralized vs distributed).
• Conductsystem designusing 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 benchmarkvendor offersfor battery packs, PCS, EMS, and BoP equipment; provide Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis.
• Stay updated withpolicy, regulatory, and market developmentsimpacting energy storage deployment in India (e.g., IEGC, CEA guidelines, SECI tenders).
• Supportbusiness development and proposal teamswith techno-commercial inputs, tender documentation, and client presentations.
• Contribute to internalknowledge development, standardization of BESS cost libraries, and design templates.

Qualifications & Requirements:-

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree inElectrical, Electronics, Mechanical, or Energy Systems Engineering.
• Proficient inBESS technologies(Li-ion, Flow, LFP, NMC, etc.) and battery sizing logic for multiple use cases.
• Demonstrated experience incost modellingusing MS Excel, Python, or similar analytical tools.
• Working knowledge ofsimulation and system design softwarelike HOMER, PVSyst, SAM, MATLAB, or similar.
• Familiarity withsafety codes, international standards(e.g., UL 9540, NFPA 855, IEEE standards).
• Strong documentation, presentation, and communication skills.
• Understanding ofIndian electricity market dynamics, ancillary services, peak tariffs, and storage tenders.

Experience:-

•   5–10 yearsof relevant experience in BESS design, costing, and system integration—preferably      in Indian or South Asian market context.

Preferred Attributes:-

• Exposure toutility-scale BESS projectswith >10 MWh capacity.
• Experience inpre-bid engineeringfor SECI, NTPC, or DISCOM storage tenders.
• Certification or training inenergy storage or grid integrationis a plus.

Location:-

• Gurugram, India.
