C&I BESS EPC Consultant Engineering & Cost Estimation
An organization is expanding its European installation, commissioning, and O&M business into turnkey energy storage solutions for commercial and industrial customers. They are looking for an experienced consultant to help develop practical site designs, reliable cost estimates, and complete EPC proposals. This opportunity is particularly suited to someone who has personally designed, estimated, or delivered behind-the-meter battery storage projects in Europe.
What you do
- Assess customer requirements, site conditions, load profiles, and existing electrical infrastructure.
- Develop or review system sizing, site layouts, single-line diagrams, and electrical integration concepts.
- Define engineering requirements and coordinate with local specialists on grid connection, civil works, fire safety, and permitting.
- Prepare bills of quantities and itemized EPC cost estimates covering equipment, electrical and civil works, installation, logistics, and commissioning.
- Obtain and compare supplier and subcontractor quotations.
- Prepare customer proposals with clear scope, assumptions, exclusions, responsibilities, and contingency allowances.
- Build reusable design checklists, estimating tools, and quotation templates, and transfer practical knowledge to the team.
What they ask
- Direct experience in European C&I battery storage EPC projects.
- Personal responsibility for engineering, tendering, or cost estimation—not solely business development or project coordination.
- A practical understanding of local installation costs, project interfaces, and delivery risks.
- The ability to turn incomplete customer information into a clear proposal, identifying what must be confirmed before committing to a price.
- Experience in the Netherlands, Belgium, or Germany would be particularly valuable.
- PV + BESS and EV charging integration experience is also welcome.
Practical
- The engagement is open to paid consultancy on a project basis or through an ongoing part-time arrangement, with site visits as required.
- For an exceptional candidate who shares the long-term ambition, there is also the opportunity to explore joining the founding team as an equity partner, with responsibilities and terms agreed together.
- You will work with a European service network and a technical team.
