Fuse Energy is a venture-backed energy startup ($200M+ raised from Balderton, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, and others) building an integrated energy company spanning solar, battery storage, wind, gas peaking, data centres, grid infrastructure, and distributed energy for homes. The company combines first-principles engineering with AI and direct-to-consumer sales to make energy abundant and affordable.
As Infrastructure Design Engineer, you will lead the design and optimization of Fuse Energy's infrastructure projects (Solar, BESS, Wind, Gas-Peak, Data Centres) across multiple geographies (UK, Ireland, Spain, USA, Australia), from early-stage development through construction handover.
Key responsibilities include:
- Creating designs for infrastructure projects, from layouts and system configuration through construction-ready packages
- Optimizing designs for performance, cost, and buildability
- Producing site layouts, drawings, schedules, specifications, and core engineering documentation
- Supporting site feasibility studies, planning submissions, and technical due diligence on new projects and acquisitions
- Supporting grid connection design and reviewing grid studies with external consultants per local requirements
- Producing bills of quantities and providing technical input to procurement
- Handing over complete, de-risked design packages to EPC teams and feeding construction feedback into future designs
- Driving standardization of designs, templates, and processes across projects and markets
This is a senior individual contributor role with significant technical scope and responsibility for design leadership across a global portfolio.
Requirements:
- Degree or equivalent experience in engineering (electrical, mechanical, civil, renewable energy, or related field)
- 3 to 6+ years of project design experience, ideally on solar, BESS, wind, gas, or data centre projects
- Experience producing technical drawings, layouts, and engineering documentation using standard design tools (AutoCAD, PVsyst, or equivalents)
- Knowledge of grid connection requirements in one of Fuse Energy's markets
- Experience working with EPC contractors
- Strong analytical skills with ability to optimize designs for both performance and cost
- Clear communication with engineers, contractors, and non-technical colleagues
- Curiosity and willingness to learn new technologies and markets quickly
