About The Role
IBC SOLAR AG is seeking a Project Engineer (m/f/d) for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to join its team in Bad Staffelstein, Germany. This is a permanent, full-time position of 40 hours per week, with the option to work remotely on a partial basis. In this role, you will take technical responsibility for the planning, design, and integration of BESS projects. You will coordinate engineering activities with internal teams and external stakeholders, contribute throughout project delivery, and help address technical matters from initial engineering through commissioning and post-commissioning support.
Qualifications
You have successfully completed a degree in electrical engineering, energy engineering, or a comparable field. You bring a solid understanding of SCADA systems, photovoltaic and BESS systems, and their control and regulation technologies, including EMS and PCS. You understand system integration and the interfaces between key equipment and systems.
You have experience planning, designing, and integrating energy systems and medium-voltage installations. Your technical knowledge includes medium-voltage systems, protection technology, grid connection, applicable VDE standards, and grid operator requirements. Experience supporting certification or grid connection processes is valuable.
You approach complex technical challenges analytically and in a structured way. A strong commitment to quality, reliability, accountability, and practical problem-solving will help you succeed in this position. You communicate confidently in written and spoken German and work effectively with colleagues, customers, suppliers, grid operators, and certification bodies. You also share a values-led approach in which honesty, friendliness, and respect are central to working relationships.
Responsibilities
Plan and design BESS installations, including all primary and auxiliary components, and coordinate engineering activities across the project. Prepare, review, and maintain technical specifications, engineering documents, and project records, including accurate as-built documentation.
Coordinate technical discussions with suppliers, customers, grid operators, and certification bodies. Work closely with Project Management, Construction Management, and SCADA Engineering to support effective system integration and project execution. Analyze and resolve technical issues during engineering, implementation, and commissioning, and provide support during the stabilization period after commissioning and throughout the warranty period.
Provide technical guidance and support for factory and site acceptance tests (FAT and SAT), project handovers, inspections, certification activities, and grid operator processes. Ensure that project engineering complies with applicable standards, grid connection guidelines, certification requirements, health, safety, and environmental (HSE) expectations, and quality requirements.
Benefits
IBC SOLAR offers a company laptop, flexible working hours, and a collaborative, close-knit working environment. After successful completion of the probationary period, employees receive a monthly €30 benefits card and access to a JobRad bicycle leasing program. Additional leave is available for important family events. The role also offers the opportunity to contribute to renewable energy projects and develop expertise in the growing BESS sector.
Equal Opportunity
IBC SOLAR AG is committed to a respectful and welcoming workplace. We value honesty, friendliness, and appreciation, and encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to apply. Employment decisions are based on role-related qualifications, experience, and business needs.
