With a recent $100 million investment in our company and having been awarded world’s largest solar contract we are at the forefront of the renewable energy arena. This is a singular opportunity to showcase your EPC expertise as you successfully lead the engineering, construction and startup of our solar thermal power plants. Working closely with our leadership team, you will oversee the preparation of the site engineering and Balance of Plant (BOP) design plan, and perform various site and trade studies. This is an exciting time to join this white hot sector in the renewables industry and you will be challenged everyday as we continuously strive to perfect our cutting-edge technology and create a greener future for generations to come.

Our headline-making technology holds the world's efficiency record for converting solar power to grid quality electricity. Stirling Energy Systems (SES) has been awarded the world's largest solar energy contracts with Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric to build up to 1,750 MW of solar projects in California. Recently named one of the Top 25 Breakout Companies by Fortune Magazine and ranked #1 in Fast Company's "Fast 50", SES offers strong growth potential in an entrepreneurial and progressive business environment with an emphasis on honesty, integrity and creative solutions. Join the SES Team and bring your experience to the fast emerging solar energy industry.

Based in Phoenix, AZ, your mission is to engineer and build fully-operational solar thermal power plants. Your expertise in the engineering aspects of BOP (balance of plant) for a solar thermal power plant involving a large electrical collection and distribution system including power factor correction equipment, grounding systems, electrical distribution and high-voltage transformers will be called upon as you provide the technical guidance and direction to ensure that time and cost goals are successfully met. Leading a team of SES Project Managers and Engineers as well as various external engineering consultants, you will guide the development of the BOP design plan, project plans, budgets and schedules to ensure that all strategic suppliers and contractors are coordinated and integrated. Your extensive experience managing EPC contracts and expertise in construction methodology will ensure that specifications, bid packages, contractor selection, procurement, contract negotiations as well as technical portions of our permitting and certifications are thorough, targeted and include measurable deliverables.
