Position Overview
This Grid Technology Technical Marketing Manager role in Dubai is a senior hybrid position combining advanced power systems engineering with technical marketing and business development support. You will lead technical discussions on BESS and PV inverter grid integration, supervise RMS and EMT simulation teams, guide HIL testing using RTDS, present technical feasibility studies to TSOs and DSOs, identify market trends and customer pain points, mentor team members, and act as the Subject Matter Expert bridging R&D and commercial teams — all within a fast-paced, globally connected renewable energy technology organisation.
Why This Role Matters: As Grid Technology Technical Marketing Manager in Dubai, you occupy one of the most strategically valuable positions in the global energy storage and renewable integration industry — the person who both understands Grid Forming at a deep technical level and can walk into a room with a TSO or utility regulator and make a compelling, technically credible case for your company’s BESS and PV solutions, apply rare, PhD-level power systems expertise across Grid Forming technologies — Virtual Synchronous Machine, Black Start, Inertia Support in weak grids — that represent the frontier of utility-scale energy storage grid integration and are in the early stages of market deployment globally, supervise RMS and EMT simulation teams using PSCAD, PSS/E, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, and MATLAB — leading the technical analysis that validates system performance, troubleshoots complex grid issues, and builds the simulation evidence that supports commercial proposals, bridge the technical-commercial gap that very few power systems engineers can genuinely span — translating deep simulation results and Grid Code compliance analysis into customer value propositions that resonate with developers, regulators, and utility operators across the UAE and international markets, and build a senior leadership career in Dubai’s energy technology sector where Grid Forming expertise, HIL testing experience, and the ability to engage commercially with TSOs and DSOs make you one of the most sought-after professionals in the clean energy industry.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Solution & Grid Integration Leadership
- Lead technical discussions on the integration of BESS and PV inverters into national electrical networks — ensuring Grid Code compliance and international standards adherence
- Plan and design complex power systems with high penetration of renewable energy, ensuring stability and reliability for utility-scale projects
- Provide innovative solutions for grid connection challenges including Grid Forming applications — Virtual Synchronous Machine, Black Start, and Inertia Support in weak grids
