About the Role
Leads facility energy conservation programs, manages power sourcing, and ensures strict adherence to the Department of Energy (DOE) under Republic Act No. 11285 (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act). The role demands technical oversight of power systems, regulatory reporting, and strategic energy procurement. Optimize power consumption through energy data analysis, reduction of operational costs, and eliminating power waste. A major part of this role is managing and monitoring on-site solar power installations to maximize clean energy use.
Key Responsibilities:
Energy Auditing & Optimization
- Conduct routine energy audits and identify high-consumption areas and power waste.
- Optimize motors, compressors, HVAC, and other heavy machinery.
- Improve power quality, load balancing, and power factor.
- Implement energy-saving initiatives and efficiency upgrades.
- Evaluate ROI for energy-efficiency projects.
- Ensure compliance with national energy efficiency and safety standards.
Centralized Solar Power Monitoring & Management
- Monitor solar generation, inverter efficiency, and grid integration.
- Use EMS and SCADA for centralized performance analysis and clean energy tracking.
- Coordinate solar array maintenance, cleaning, and performance optimization.
- Oversee PV generation across multiple plants and sites.
- Manage multi-site Solar PPA and Net Metering contracts.
- Diagnose generation losses caused by weather conditions or inverter issues.
Energy Procurement & Contract Management
- Provide technical inputs, load profiles, and demand forecasts for electricity procurement, RES contracts, and contestable market negotiations.
- Develop technical specifications and evaluate energy performance for heavy machinery, HVAC systems, and electrical equipment upgrades.
- Prepare CAPEX budgets for grid improvements, system upgrades, and modern equipment retrofits.
DOE Compliance & Reporting
- Ensure facility compliance with RA 11285 and DOE guidelines for Designated Establishments (DE).
- Prepare and submit required Annual Energy Conservation Reports (AECR/AER) and Energy Conservation Programs (AECP) to the DOE within prescribed deadlines.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or similar field).
- Registered Electrical Engineer (REE) license is highly preferred.
- Certified Energy Manager (CEM) or solar technician training is a major plus.
- 5+ years of experience managing utility operations or energy portfolios.
- Proven background in handling distributed, multi-site manufacturing networks.
- Mastery of remote monitoring software, power quality meters, and grid synchronization.
- Strong analytical skills to interpret complex power data.
- Willingness to travel to various regional plants across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao
