Electrical Engineer, Development

COMPANY

Orenda is on a mission to make the grid more efficient with renewable energy projects and proprietary asset management technology. We develop, build, own and operate battery energy storage projects in dense urban environments to bridge the gap between renewables and electricity consumption.

We are a dynamic, NYC-based company at the forefront of a new industry. We are seeking highly motivated and incredibly talented individuals who wish to contribute to our important mission.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Orenda’s Project Development team owns the design + permitting path from early development through construction readiness — turning site constraints into buildable, utility / AHJ-compliant packages. We hold a tight technical baseline through Orenda design standards and site specs, disciplined Engineer of Record (EOR) management, milestone QA/QC (30%/60%/90%/IFC), and clean document control.

We carry that rigor through permitting by coordinating with utilities and AHJs, delivering complete drawing sets, and closing objections without “baseline drift.” Throughout design, we partner closely with Pre-construction so engineering outputs stay aligned to schedule, procurement, and field readiness — then we hand Construction a clear, traceable package with interfaces and exceptions explicitly called out.

The Electrical Engineer supports Orenda’s Principal Engineer and the Project

Development team by keeping our design baseline sharp: enforcing standards,

driving QA/QC at key design milestones, and closing technical loops across EOR packages, vendor interfaces, and field-driven clarifications. You’ll turn ambiguity into decision-grade inputs, drive traceable resolution back into active design sets, and — when patterns emerge — harden our design standards and equipment specs so issues don’t repeat.
