About Wunder
Wunder is building a Modern Energy Company.
We were founded with one simple vision: to address the greatest crisis of our generation by accelerating the deployment of solar energy. In doing so, we help businesses, municipalities, and schools save money by delivering clean on-site power. We convert simple warehouses into electrified industrial platforms built for the future. We enable the nation’s leading commercial and industrial real estate firms to capture the benefits of solar across their properties. We align ESG goals with revenue targets, and the renewable energy assets we’re deploying today will power America’s tomorrow.
Wunder is actively developing hundreds of commercial solar projects across the country. Our team has evaluated more than 30,000 properties for solar across all 50 states to meet our customers where they are—which is everywhere! Our customers have a national footprint and so do we. Wunder’s proprietary technology platform enables us to develop solar at scale, across a portfolio that includes everything from self-storage facilities and schools to data centers and industrial logistics facilities. Our average solar system—about 430 kilowatts in size—can offset 350,000 pounds of coal burned each year of system operation!
The Role
We have an amazing opportunity for a detail-oriented engineer to solve hard problems and push renewable energy forward. We’re looking for someone who works quickly and efficiently, has an eye for detail, and isn’t afraid of a challenge. Our project development team is rapidly acquiring commercial customers and developing solar across the country alongside our national network of solar partners, and we need your help!
Specifically, you’ll be a key contributor to the in-house development engineering at Wunder, creating and reviewing designs and production models, interfacing with systems like Helioscope, AutoCAD, conducting site visits to gather design information, and more. This role is responsible for performing a host of duties on engineering deliverables and monitoring progress on design reviews and deadlines. You’ll also be collaborating with the team on interconnection processes with utilities, permitting with AHJ’s, and coordinating with subcontractors, and clients. Most importantly, you’ll go beyond a traditional engineering role as you will also bring standardization into the untapped sub-megawatt commercial and industrial market by leveraging Wunder’s industry-leading technology platform.
If you get excited about unlocking the untapped commercial and industrial market, joining a team designed for hyper-growth, and building an organization aimed at saving the world, then this is the role for you.
