Dylan Matthew

Alumni, Renewable Energy B.Tech.
After graduating from Morrisville, I took a step away from commercial electrical work to work with an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) company based out of Vermont. I designed and worked on anything from 40 kW to 2.5MW. I was responsible for the initial interconnection application through the operations and maintenance; as well as, customer education of how to access their systems production information. After about 4 years I moved on to where I am now, working at New Leaf Energy as a Design Engineer. My current position allows me to learn more about the permitting process and utility requirements of different regions throughout the country. Overall the jobs are very similar to each other, the main difference is that now I need to know a little bit about a lot of projects; whereas before I needed to know everything about a relatively few number of projects. Both were fantastic experiences that I recommend.
