BHE Renewables is seeking a Software Engineer 1 to join its development team in Des Moines on a full-time, in-office basis. The role centers on the full lifecycle of application development—designing, coding, testing, documenting, and maintaining programs—with roughly half your time spent on new development and system enhancements. You'll participate in technical design reviews, client walkthroughs, and peer code reviews, while also providing customer support for packaged software and handling research into application modifications and vendor product compatibility.
The position requires a bachelor's degree in computer science, MIS, or a related field (or equivalent experience), along with prior internship exposure to software development. You'll need hands-on technical knowledge in Oracle and Microsoft SQL databases, .NET and other current programming languages, and tools like Microsoft BizTalk Server, SharePoint, and SQL Reporting Services. Beyond technical skills, the role demands solid business analysis abilities, project management aptitude, and the flexibility to work in a shared code-ownership environment where team members modify any source file. You should be comfortable with periodic on-call responsibilities and capable of balancing multiple concurrent projects.
This role suits someone early in their career who has foundational development experience and is ready to work within a structured enterprise environment at a major Midwest utility. Note that the company cannot sponsor work authorization, so you must already have unrestricted U.S. work rights.
